    The worst terrorist attack in recorded history occurred in September 2001, followed by a WAR against Islam in Afghanistan and now we're about to be involved in ANOTHER war against Islam in Iraq, and you people have the gall to be discussing Google???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!

    The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about obscure science fiction, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!

    You people disgust me!

  5. All Search Engines are doomed to fail... by Saint+Stephen · · Score: 0, Troll

    And Google will fail too. A few months back I noticed my "Web" searches were taking me less and less to the "right" page and more and more often to some clearinghouse page that some sponsored link wanted me to go to. That's stopped a bit for now, but if google IPO's, it will become rampant then people will abandon google.

    Face it, nothing on the internet is ever going to make a whole pile of money. The more popular you get the greater the likelihood of impending failure.

    no. Google is responsible for a lot of the trouble in Iraq. If we can sort out Google we can sort out Saddam.

    Funny that the article didn't mention the fact that Google's lawyers recently asked Paul McFedries to remove the word 'google' from his excellent wordspy lexicon. A company that 'gets it' indeed.

  9. WHY DID GOOGLE BLACKLIST MY SITE???? by cryofan2 · · Score: 0, Troll

    I didn't spam anyone; my site (2 simple and separate URLs covering the same area) is not porn or warez, or even a commercial site. It is a political site. You can see one of my pages at http://www.geocities.com/cryofan/.

    After just one week I managed to get my site ranked on the first page of google using the search string "navy nuclear power program" by posting 2 times to relevent newsgroup, and posting 2 messages on message boards of relevant websites, and by linking the 2 pages together.
    I used no meta tags or search engines optimization techniques or other tricks. These are/were simple handmade HTML pages.

    However, not too long after that first week, when my main page came up on google first page of search returns, both my websites DISAPPEARED from google completely. Why?

    Maybe because my websites speak out against the crappy workplace provided by the US Navy on nuclear submarines. Looks like google likes kissing the ass of the US Govt. That is what it looks like to me!
