Slashdot Mirror

I thought they were from the Cat detector van?

but Möbius loops are more fun because you end up in sites that look like this!

Tron guy is off topic, AC.. This would be an excellent time however to mention the Astor Place Cube Prank. A little background: In the middle of Astor Place (the no mans land between west 8th and st. mark's place in new york city) is an island of sidewalk with a humungous black cube that stands (stood) on one of its corners. You could even push it and get it to spin (with a few participants, that thing is big). It was a pretty well known landmark. It is reportedly being "fixed and renovated right now" and will be back, something to do with the luxury condo's they built on the site of a former parking lot there.

This is probably true, which is surprising since Google is one of the sites filtered by China's Greate Firewall. If I recall correctly that's part of the reason the Google Mirror was set up.

a new use for the cat detector van.

GOOGLE spelled backwards is Echelon

by nicely asking the people in the cat detector van perhaps?...

The important question is : will google.org get mirrored too?

here is the google mirror...

.siht fo em sdnimer taht

Sure thing, here.

I know google is banned, but according to a New Scienctist article, elgoog, the "backwards" google mirror, is not. I'm pretty sure you can access the caches through that, but the site is slow. And I don't think it can handle all of China trying to access it, though it's supposed to be quite popular.
Death to censorship.

I haven't tried this myself as I've never been in China, but I've heard that searches via elgooG would effectively bypass "the great firewall". Just a rumour for me though. Could anyone verify this?

Do you mean a Mirror of Google?

Well I wonder if "elgooG" will be able to help the poor old rice pickers.

For those that don't know elgoog is literally a mirror (not in the true sense, but in the image and text sense) of Google, everything is backwards, when you search you even have to type your search in backwards.

However I'm sure most of you /. crowd already know about this.

Sadly I couldn't seem to connect, maybe China sent a few nukes to the address of the server.

We did it before:
Google Mirror Beats the Great Firewall of China
and we'll do it again:
Swen Elgoog

No, no, no... Use this Mirror...

Yeah, this is definitely the first thing I thought of.
"We put the titty back in http://."

Here you go.

Actually, there's some prior art in this very area. elgooG is a "Google Mirror" that claims it's been used in China for a similar purpose. This was discussed here a couple years ago.

Interestingly, the Google Mirror is NOT blocked, allowing full access to google through the inverting proxy created by alltooflat.

this is the site which shows the mirror image of corresponding Google page.This gets u thru the great chinese firewall :))

On its FAQ:

1.12. Did people in China really use the Google Mirror after China blocked Google?
Yes. We received numerous emails from web surfers in China thanking us for this service.

1.13. I heard that China also blocked other websites that used Google. Why didn't China block elgooG too?
We believe that elgooG survived the Great Firewall of China because the firewall operators thought that elgooG was a joke and not a fully functional version of Google.

Mirror here

Yeah, no problem.

(karma be damned)

I thought I was going to get lectured and then you actually give me an answer to my question. Nice. That would be pretty funny to redirect everthing to that snoop dog "turn a site into shizzle speak" or redirect Google to elgooG.

Does it effect you in anyway aside from /letting/ you use their access point?

No, you're right, it doesn't affect me, its purely for the fun of it.
But on the other hand, why, exactly, is it required that "teaching somebody a lesson" and doing it for fun and frolic be mutually exclusive. So I have a bit of a mean streak. Like I said though, I think it would be counterproductive to do anything to their setup as that will alert them to their open router and result in (if they're smart) the router to be locked down to the point that I can no longer utilize it.

If google is slashdotted, or too slow, try this google mirror.

Yeah. Google Mirror

And just in case, here is a google mirror.

Sure thing, here's a google mirror:

elgoog

at least elgooG
still works!

Sorry if this is "so last week

Actually, apparently it's so 18 months ago. The site FAQ shows that it was featured on Slashdot on Sept 8, 2002 and (in true Slashdot dupe tradition) Sept 12, 2002).

No one does geeky sex puns like All Too Flat's Geeks Gone Wild. (Shameless self promotion, but it's so damn funny you'll probably forgive me)

Ya know, I have a more difficult time sleeping every time I pop those tasty sugar cubes. I have no idea why.

No penguins were harmed in the forming of this post.

Ah, you mean something like this vs. this?

Google

yep

That's not a google mirror. THIS is a google mirror. :-P

Anyhow, this is VERY funny.

Nope. By far the coolest Rubik's Cube was this little prank in New York City.

Your's slashdotted already. Use the real google mirror.

My god, so many links to google here; let me provide a Google mirror just in case they get slashdotted!!

me likes this one even better

Try this Elgoog :)

--paul

Just in case Google ever gets slashdotted, here's a mirror

Actually, IN SOVIET RUSSIA, they use elgooG.
