Google Mystery Domain Reroutes 3% of Net Surfers
An anonymous reader writes "A new Google domain — 1e100.net, a nod to the company's famously misspelled name — is now the net's 44th most visited site. Google says the domain is used to 'identify servers' on its internal network, hinting that reverse DNS plays a role. The domain was registered in September and launched in October, about the same time Google unveiled Spanner, a new addition to its backend infrastructure designed to shift loads automatically among its data centers."
I've just blocked it in my /etc/hosts file. I don't really care what sort of games they're playing here, but the fuck if I'm being part of them.
Remember to think before you post ;)
No kitty, this is my pot pie!
1e1 = 1*10^1
1e10 = 1*10^10
1e100 = 1*10^100
1e10 is not the same as 1^10
The word 'bizarre' is redundant in your sentence -- there has never been a non-bizarre suicidal chainsaw decapitation. Although your post is awesomely funny and clever, it's of course not true. I say this for those naive enough to believe it.
