Google and OpenDNS Work On Global Internet Speedup

Many users have written in with news of Google and OpenDNS working together on The Global Internet Speedup Initiative. They've reworked their DNS servers so that they forward the first three octets of your IP address to the target web service. The service then uses your geolocation data to make sure that the resource you’ve requested is delivered by a local cache. From the article: "In the case of Google and other big CDNs, there can be dozens of these local caches all around the world, and using a local cache can improve latency and throughput by a huge margin. If you have a 10 or 20Mbps connection, and yet a download is crawling along at just a few hundred kilobytes, this is generally because you are downloading from an international source (downloading software or drivers from a Taiwanese site is a good example). Using a local cache reduces the strain on international connections, but it also makes better use of national networks which are both lower-latency and higher-capacity."

    New GNAA President paz is Elected
    paz - Camden, New Jersey

    Camden, New Jersey - The winds of change are blowing, and it smells like toots. After a century of inactivity, dick waving, cock sucking, infighting, and bzb, it's time for a new breed of gay niggers to arise. There are a few changes that will be taking effect, now that I hold the position of philosopher-god-king:

    * The dark days are over. #GNAA is no longer a mere chat room, nor is it your personal hugbox. Anyone deemed to be worthless or unfunny will now be immediately removed from the channel. The following things will not be tolerated: ED nerds, OhInternet! contributors, channers, #stress lunatics, or #anti sycophants.

    * The membership system is being reinstated. To petition for membership, you must contact an official member of the GNAA (a user with operator status) and schedule an interview. You will be tested on a variety of things, including: creativity, hilarity, charisma, and technical prowess. From then on, a cabal of card-carrying gay niggers will take a vote on whether or not to initiate you into the order. Those deemed worthy will be taken through a live initiation ceremony on KLULZ internet radio.

    * As president, I will be hosting a weekly internet radio program from my professional irc studio in the heart of crack infested Camden. The content of the program will include: GNAA news, music (including homemade GNAA propaganda tunes), racially charged tirades, and updates on the various trolls that members of the channel have accomplished, with congratulatory words and shout-outs for outstanding examples of gayniggerdom.

    * Members may have certain responsibilities bestowed upon them, for the sake of channel efficiency. For example: writing press releases, target hunting, ANSI creation etc. Of course anyone who wishes will be able to participate in these activities as well, provided the content you provide is sufficiently hilarious.

    * The creation of smaller, GNAA affiliated cells engaging in certain focused tasks will be encouraged. If you have an idea for a troll and would like to carry it out with a group of specialized individuals, you simply have to run it by me and it will be officially sanctioned.

    To put it simply, it's time to troll. #GNAA has been painfully unfunny for far too long, and it's time to crack down and become a well-oiled and efficient machine. With an iron fist and a cock hard as diamonds, I will lead you all to glory and hilarity. Heil hitler, heil victory, heil gayniggerdom.
