So, once again, here we are. An overrated .dot-com is once again ruling the roost. So let's see, given that it took, on average about, say, four and a half years for the other dot coms to collapse after their IPO, that puts google on course for bankruptcy in about 2007?

Really people, if the chicken wouldn't fly the last time you pushed it off a building, why do you think it's going to now? I realize most kids out there see google as some shining white knight of open source (god knows why tho, since they've been more closed than friggin microsoft, cisco and oracle COMBINED), but that's just an idiotic delusion. This dot com stuff didn't work last time, it's not going to work this time, and, oh yea, by the way, it's not going to work next time either.
