El Reg Says Google Choking on Spam Sites
Grubby Games writes "The Register is reporting that Google is full, and in trouble." From the article: "Recently, we featured a software tool that can create 100 Blogger weblogs in 24 minutes, called Blog Mass Installer. A subterranean industry of sites providing 'private label articles,' or PLAs exists to flesh out 'content' for these freshly minted sites. And as a result, legitimate sites are often caught in the cross fire. But the new algorithms may not be solely to blame. Google's chief executive Eric Schmidt has hinted at another reason for the recent chaos. In Google's earnings conference call last month, Schmidt was frank about the extent of the problem. 'Those machines are full,' he said. 'We have a huge machine crisis.'" James Robertson points out that's a fairly selective bit of quoting.
Thanks!
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
Wow...so there really is an end to the internet.

I just realized that many of the jokes we apply to lawyers could also be used on spammers with good effect:
So what do you have when you push 50% of all the spammers in the world into a hole and bury them? A good start.
Did you know that if you took all the spammers in the world and lined them up end to end around the equator of the earth that two thirds of them would drown?
I'm not a computer person, but couldn't Google just upgrade to a bigger disk drive?
I saw one at bestbuy.com that looks pretty good.
Who ever would have thought that an upstanding, respected news source like The Register could have ever written anything with poor journalistic integrity?
I would have never expected to see this day!
My heroes are all burning!
Just remember that /dev/null filled up years ago. Yet, we seem to be doing just fine.
There is no reasonable defense against an idiot with an agenda

Some of you might recall that for a long time the Google index stood at around 4 billion pages. It turned out that this was because of the limited number of unique 32 bit index values. To handle this, Google created two index values to reference each each page. One is called the "Selector", and the other is called the "Offset". Simply put, the selector is left shifted by 4 bits and added to the offset so that Google can find any page on the internet simply by knowing its selector and offset. According to the article. Google has exhausted these values as well, and will introduce something called "protected mode page rank" where the slector is shifted farther to create a greater range of values.

Do what I do when the toilet bowl is full of crap - FLUSH.
Please tell me how I too can make $10,000 or more per month just by putting up junk content from the comfort of my home. Is there a program that I have to order to learn to do this? Should I act now?
I have a lot of opinions about Cyborgs and Architects

Well, would you look at that! Together, you both found both ends of the Internet!
