  1. I started it all, let me clarify something on 'Online Poker' Googlebomb · · Score: 1

    Hi there, I'm the one who came up with this futile idea. Let me just clarify one thing : the goal has never been, as most people seem to think, to "combat comment spam", or even to make it cease. As I stated it when I launched the idea on my blog, it was intented to be a "Vain, futile, but delicious revenge."
    Grab #1 spot, laugh at spammers for one minute, and go back to your blog watching things and spam going on since spammer probably don't care much about this.

    The choice of linking to Wikipedia was because its page is interesting for someone googling for "online poker", is a non commercial public service, and has already been chosen for other famous googlebombings (see "Jew").

    So basically this is intented to be another harmless and fun online experiment as you've seen and will see millions. Won't change anything in the world, worse or better. Futile, vain. And fun. At least it seems to me :)

  2. Foreigners say : "Error 403 for President !" on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 1

    According to Betavote (global simulation (for fun) of how netizens would vote in US presidential), the country most favorable to Bush is... Niger.
    And in return, all these Nigerians cannot access the web ? So unfaithful :)

  3. High tech for what ? on Fighting Spam with DNA Sequencing Algorithms · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Funny how some people develop more and more sophisticated stuffs to fight against something that is just as simple as sending out emails to random address... and so simple that it will never stop :/

  4. next Doom3 engine license is for Prey. on Life After Doom · · Score: 1

    Human Head Studios are developping a Prey sequel, this is an old rumor by now.

  5. Re:expensive? on Expensive Geek Toys Roundup · · Score: 1

    You mean the toy should be shipped with source code so you can recompile and add more geek wifi cameras ?

  6. beat it simply on World's Most Annoying IE Toolbar · · Score: 1
