Slashdooted wins by a LONG shot

As they say, sure kicking someone when they are down. And I prefer this googlefight, seeing as how the Julia set site mentions "Googleblatted"

We can rely on the highly scientific Googlefight system.

Slashdot vs. Google - Winner: Google

Slashdotted vs. Googled - Winner: Googled

Clearly, Google is superior and far more dangerous.

C'mon you geeks! Take off those pocket protectors and put on the gloves! Google's callin' you out!

Yes for example of parody see Google-fight. AFAIK Google hasn't gone after them...

vi is a word in more languages than emacs is.
However, to go on with the joke, check this out..

That sounds a whole lot like Google fight :)

This wasn't the answer I was hoping for either ;)

Hmm...

Un-fucking-believable. I've never seen anyone write "intensive purposes" before, only "intents and purposes", but apparently the former is more common.

the term is "champing at the bit", not "chomping at the bit"

But Google, the Fount of All Truth and Knowledge and Only Some Occasional Lies, says you're wrong! Do you dare to challenge the opinion of the WHOLE INTERNET?

God I hope so. Bunch of illiterate bastards, if you ask me...

Result for the fight between viruses and virii

viruses (3 090 000 results) versus
virii( 217 000 results)

viri ( 106 000 results)

GOOGLE FIGHT!

If usage defines the language, then a quick Googlefight shows how well "virii" fares:

viruses
(5 800 000 results)

versus

virii
( 123 000 results)

The reason that "virii" is so scorned by those of us interested in grammatical correctness is because its usage is almost invariably due to ignorance of how the common rules of English are applied. When a hacker says "boxen" instead of "boxes" it's usually a playful overapplication of the "ox" -> "oxen" rule -- the hacker knows that what he's doing is "wrong," but does it anyway for the entertainment value (even if he's the only one who's entertained). As a matter of practice, people use the word "virii" because they think that it's the actual common plural of "virus".

I don't think I'd personally object to the use of "virii" to mean "computer viruses", but then we end up in a situation where we have a specific jargon word for "computer viruses" but no specific jargon word for the singular form, "computer virus". The asymmetry bothers me, and since the context usually is adequate to determine which kind of virus we're talking about, there's not really need for the word.

And writing off "virii" as "just another evolution of English, deal with it" is also a bad idea because it encourages people to misapply grammatical rules, which is not going to improve the level of our communications. Some things are worth fighting for, such as clarity of language. English could use a lot more of it, but muddying the waters by misapplying rules from other languages isn't going to help.

Of course, there's always the fact that I can use someone's usage of "virii" as an indicator that they're probably not worth listening to :)

And by even more if you'd used UK government.

dmca vs british govt

where do i collect my 20 bucks?

(you would've won if you've just used british government instead.)

Go to www.googlefight.com and key in the terms 'RIAA' versus 'sanity'.

doing a Google Fight between showed and shown gave showed 21 700 000 results, so no wonder he/she did the mistake.

Easy one. ctrl-alt-del

To further the nerd vs. geek conflict,Google Fight!

Yeah but Trinity would kick her ass.

Here is who will win.

I can't wait to see which one wins!

You may find it obvious, but make a google fight to be sure. Google fight link here

Ok, Jupiter really wins.

Too bad she didn't settle this via GoogleFight.

riaa: 1 630 000 results

12 year old girl: 2 840 000 results

The winner is: 12 year old girl

We americans like the "f" word.

"Componentry?" Er, what? I'm going to label this one a bullshit buzzword. It does not seem to appear in the dictionary, and the obligatory GoogleFight would seem to confirm that "components" is the accepted term.

Timothy, perhaps you are confused by standard English usage patterns. You see,

toilet -> toiletry and
bigot -> bigotry,
but
apple -> apples and
component -> components.

According to google, more people think linux sucks, I wonder why? *cough*filedialog*cough*modemsupport*cough*RTFM*co ugh*Debian*cough*

The fact that Microsoft crashes less than linux?

Note about moderation :If Microsoft won it would be 5, funny, and not -1, flamebait.

GoogleFight says 2.7 million references of flavor and 770,000 references of flavour.

In fact, color/colour, humor/humour, etc. all seem to show American English winning 4 to 1.

No, HERE you go: FIGHT!!

Tengwar versus Aurebesh

Tengwar versus Aurabesh
(20 800 results) (611 results)

Microsoft wins, severely.

Go figure. (And don't ask about MS vs. Constitutional Republic...)

Haha. Even with Microsoft spelled right, Linux still sucks more.

Lunix is unsecure!

But Slashdot^H^H^^H^H^H^HGNAA adverts won't report it because they are deluded by the penguin proprogranda!

I submitted this story and it was REJECTED! if i replace linux with WINDOWS it would get ACCEPTED just like a anti linux joke gets -1,flamebait and a microsoft joke gets 5, funny.

Well give it up because Linux sucks more

Speaking of googlefight, SCO Vs. IBM
Why didn't we think of this sooner? IBM by a landslide!

I think you're point of veiw is a little unfair. Any way MSN are bound to win.

and baby Ruby says boo hoo to you.

Come on, Brouteur is never used !
Navigateur is tremendously more common !

Navigateur( 967 000 results) versus Brouteur ( 1 950 results)

"brouteur oueb" is often used as derision instead of "Navigator Web"

Misinformation sux !

what about this one
français wins. in your googlefight, you entered "francais" which does not mean anything :P

I tried to find a word count for French vs. English lexicons, but unfortunately after about 15 googlings I came to the concensus that you can't count how big a lexicon is

Wrong googling strategy. Here, let me help.

According to this Google search, English wins hands down.

However, interestingly enough, that the French version shows a different result.

Typically revisionist French. ;-)

I tried to find other more general stats like say the market share of Linux and so on. They are very hard to find for various reasons. But here is one that's as good as any (especially since we win!): Linux vs Microsoft.

Linux wins again.
Seriously though there's even a Farsi version of Knoppix.

Google Wins!

Arby's Oven Mitt vs. South Park's Towelie, Saturday at the MGM Grand

I realize that I was speaking without knowing the complete specifications of the system in question, so I was not exactly accurate, but how exactly does one perfieve that as a troll? The celeron does, indeed suck.

I really like this valid result...

Not if you use googlefight the right way: google is god / google is not god
