Google Forms Partnership With NASA

jangobongo writes "Google said on Wednesday that it plans to partner with NASA on space research projects. The new partnership will involve R&D on biotechnology, information technology and nanotechnology, as well as supercomputing. The news article notes some of the mutual benefits: "Google stands to gain from learning about NASA's supercomputers, which could come in handy as the Mountain View search engine compiles even bigger indexes of information and video. NASA leaders cited the benefits of getting access to Google's search expertise to pick out nuggets of information from the volumes of data streaming back from satellites and human space launches."" This story might seem familiar to you. Consider it a public service: if I didn't screw up occasionally, a lot of angry readers would have no other way to vent their rage in a safe environment.

CmdrTaco needs a caffine hit.

Treatment

Looks like the Slashdork crew needs to enroll in the 12-step Googleholics Program for Frustrated Webmasters. Not only are there three Google stories in the front page, this one also happens to be a dupe. Or maybe a trupe.

Now that they've migrated to CSS after seven years maybe they should rename the site as well. Maybe Gooshdot.org is not taken.

What do you mean, "screw up occaisionally"?

Between CmdrTaco and Zonk (who not only constantlys post dupes but also likes to post his rather poor game reviews as front page news) /. has seriously degenerated in quality.
