I'm being prompted for a twitter account and password when loading that page. Anyone else?

Looks like it is this script: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/venturehacks.json?...

Seems a little rude. I don't like a generic dialog box popping up asking for my credentials to an unrelated site...

Hi dmv,

Are you still having a problem? Sometimes the Twitter widget in the sidebar at http://venturehacks.com gets a little wacky. I believe it is an intermittent problem with Twitter.

I thought it was very rare but perhaps it is more common than I thought? Is anyone else having this problem? I couldn't recreate it. Thanks!

I didn't get said twitter box - and I generally have to login to twitter every time I browse there due to Twitterrific nuking the cookie.
