    I am glad to see that Google is making good use of all that capital they have received by going public. Makes me want to short their stock at its ridiculously high price even more.

    Ok - I don't normally double post, but I feel like I need to on this one.

    To all of you other site owners out there, that have had their sites DDoSed by shitdot, join me in a grassroots campaign to have shitdot add support for a caching system!

    Sincerely,

    No you fucking idiot, I can't.

    That just stops the page from loading completely. Big fucking deal. shitdot's slashdotting also happens to accompany massive DDoSing from the ilk of the trolls at least, like i'm staring into an abyss and covered in green slimy mud.

    It's very hard to find someone who wants a Google invitation nowadays.

    Let's face the facts:

    - Google has long ago sold out to AOL Time Warner; the next round of IPO will increase their shares and they are likely to achieve a total majority of shares by the end of 2005.

    - Gmail fails to meet the standard of users above Novice-level; those who are used to the comfort of a sophisticated email-client, like Microsoft Outlook

    - Gmail still does not work fully with less sopisticated browsers, such as Mozilla and Firefox. This may be caused by lacking standards-support in these browsers. Fortunately, barely nobody uses these nowadays, so the problem can safely be ignored for the time being.

    - Google's investment in Doubleclick.com and other "online marketing" agencies is a dubious move; personally, I can live with text-only advertising as practised by Google so far, but our company ads are exclusively deployed using latest Macromedia Flash technology, because this simply is what our professional customers expect from us
