  1. Re:DDoS attacks on Google Launches Public DNS Resolver · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unlike Google docs, DNS is relatively simple.. the idea of recursive queries being misused is quite commonplace and would be a huge oversight if they neglected to takes actions to avoid the abuse..

  2. Re:Why? on Google Launches Public DNS Resolver · · Score: 1

    So all a technical person needs is knowhow? If you set up your own dns server, it still has to query another server for it's info..

    I suspect Google is adept enough to know how to handle malicious recursive queries..

    Careful now, that line of thinking is how we ended up with words like:

    • Metrics

    They weren't talking about their source code being closed, they were walking about the way apps are loaded onto the iphone. There's no way a regular user can install a virus on their phone since all the installable apps are screened by Apple.

    So the very recognition of past racism and present avoidance of further infractions.. is what you view as racist? Give me a break. You're being overly rigid in your worldview. Life doesn't operate in absolutes you know.

    No, I wouldn't say they are, since they weren't created with that intent.

    There are no racist undertones when you refer to a white person as a monkey. You are purposefully ignoring the United State's history of racism and slavery in order to better serve your point.

    They never did that for the "Bush chimp" pictures.

    That's political satire - not racism.

    Racism won't be truly a thing of the past until we can make fun of black and white politicians alike.

    Racism won't be truly a thing of the past until people stop being racist. The person who made that image of Michelle Obama, did so because he/she wanted to make a racist statement.

  17. Re:Understandable on Google Apologizes For "Michelle Obama" Results · · Score: 1

    Google's job as a search engine is to give you the most relevant results and let you find what you are looking for. If you type "Michelle Obama", what are you looking for? A picture of her looking like a monkey? No, that's what you should get when you type "Michelle Obama Monkey". It isn't censorship for them to correct a mistake in their results and more than it would be for them to correct a google-bombing.

    This reminds me of an episode of south park.. http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/251865 (US only)

    If you're like other Americans, you love to eat Chipotle, but you hate all those terrible blood stains in your underwear... Well now there's a product that can even clean even blood stains caused by Chipotle right off your underwear. Chipotlaway. Just one Chipotle burrito can leave up to a quarter cup of underwear blood. But Chipotlaway makes your underwear clean and ready for more. Stop buying new underwear every time you eat Chipotle. That can cost you thousands... Imagine having underwear so clean you could practically eat off of it. Now you can eat all the Chipotle you want, and still have sparkling underwear.

    People hear the kids practicing in the garage next door and think "music is easy." No, it isn't. If it were, everyone would make it. It's extremely time-consuming, laborious, and expensive.

    Uhh.. do you have any idea how many people own a musical instrument? How many people sing? I don't think I'm over-estimating when I say that it's likely that more than half of the world "makes music" in one form or another. Sure, most don't record albums, but most people who can cook don't become chef's either..
