Point taken but I make a distinction between a typo like slsahdot and googil. The former is a genuine keyboard slip. The latter is just pure ignorance. All, I'm saying is that these sites that profit from typos through advertisements are profiting on the ignorant. I think this is a problem.
Wouldn't it be allot better if I mis-typed googil and it opened up a little page saying:
I just think this typo exploitation is greared towards allowing the ignorant to keep misspelling (like I probaly am now) and rewarding them by still opening up the correct page they were looking for, whilst simultaneously exploiting them with advertisements, and rewarding the vultures that create the typo sites. Sorry, that's how I feel.
Maybe not for allot of Ameicans who are used to spelling google googil because they are not intelligent enough to understand the sublety of spelling a word with 'le' at the end that is
pronounced 'el'?
The phrase "A new name in town" might be more common than "The only game in town", although I doubt it, however the context in which the phrase is used in the original post indicates that the poster meant the later phrase and not the former.
Yeah...in AMERICA..where you spell harbour harbor and labour labor..and you drive on the wrong side of the road. and...
you play a very strange sport known as "NFL American football" (also known as WWF football) : )
Gee, threres only 1 thing more mediocre than medicrity - someone who replicates it sportingly, hehe
No, Thankyou. Maybe they'll increase the frequency of good stories when the frequency of good posts increases.
What is an armpit of mediocrity, anyway? Is that like the bad part of mediocrity? Is that still better than being on the shoulder of piss-poor? Gosh, I hope I don't descend to that level.
Perhaps you should practice the art of using such colourfull language yourself. Then you won't have to waist my time and yours!
Thankyou for reproducing what is the crappiest list ever. The fact that this is still the most current story on/. and that it was even posted is another reminder of continuing decendency of/. into the armpit of mediocrity. Sort it out. Increase the frequesncy of good stories.

Could the overwhelming success of this pocket-size virtual pet -- 40 million were sold worldwide -- make this the strangest cultural phenomenon ever? I mean WTF?
It's was nothing new then it it's nothing new now.
An also, they feature a satellite wireless mobile phone developed by a company that flopped through the ground. Well done! Worst list EVER.
These lists should be seious. It looks like a list Barbie would have made.
I'm surprised that I haven't heard more about TiVo wielding them to threaten the cable providers who bundle PVRs.
It sounds like TiVo need to get financial backing of investors if they are to compete with the big cable comanies. Then if they ever need to sue for patent violation etc. they would at least have the money. I hope this doesn't happen though. The best thing might be to merge with a cable company and completely redefine their product.
Yes, I watched the American elections in the early hours of the morning, and generally found him more clued in than Kerry. ANyway, I'll finish up before I get modded into the ground for being offtopic. I have said prviosly that I think the U.S. badly needs significant 3rd. party represetation. I stand by this. It probably also needs the money to be taken out of politics. Both the big parties are guilty of this.
Anyway, please mod me offtopic and do something right for a change you useless mod f****** *head explodes*
Europe has some ignorant kneejerk anti-Americans. The US has equally many ignorant anti-French. (And at least the French can point out that they were right about the WMD).
Wake up. The French had allot of vested intesrests in keeping Saddam in power - weapons contracts???
Did it not strike you as strange that China, Russia, and France all opposed invasion and all had money owed to them by Saddam.
If you think the French have some moral high ground you are wrong. That country is full of racists too I might add. Germany is the only large country in Europe which behaved ethically on the matter.
The worst part is meeting the ignorant French who think as you do that they are somehow on a higher moral ground than Americans. If anything the French position is worse. It is more deceitful.
Please, my name is Hypocrites. I am the philosopher of all that is hypocritical in this hypocrytical world. Nothing to see here. Move along.
And next time you (coward) start flame wars why dont you bother logging in (via the box in the top left of the main web page of fuckwit.org?
Go and harvest your meaningless web-karma. And if you are so sure that there is something hypocritical about being critical of grammar in submitted stories whilst simultaneously also being critical of attitudes in Europe, then maybe you should just go and learn your syllogisms and stop posting your pathetic masturbation-like one word coward responses.
Thanks. Looks like an interesting read. I look forwards to reading it in more detail after I cool my erm processor.
p.s. I am really annoyed by Wuropean attitudes. I can give you an example. There is an Italian guy I know that is happy to knock anything American on the grounds that it's well. American - from the US - the country of guns and cowboys. Yet he works for anAmerican company and has done for many years. He really is a infuriating. I also know many other people like this. They are just the most ignorant people. Sometimes I wish Michael Moore never wrote so many books or created so many documentaries. (Ignorant) people then make the tragic mistake of assuming that things would be better under Kerry or Gore for exmaple. Both of those muppetsw are also corrupt. Most people in Europe are happy to tell Americans who to vote for even though they never even heard of Ralph Nader for example. They have no idea how it really is. I'm tired of hiding behind my satiracal comments all the time...but actually that's what I'm goona continue to do..
Come to Yurp, my Yankee friends, land with valleys of golden flowers and blue lakes, and great pron!!
I'm happy about the E.U commisioners decision to restart the patent law process etc. but I'm tired of all this Europe with rivers of gold bs. That's just cock. I've been in a good few European countries now and I live in Europe. There is no limit to the amount of corruption and negativity in this (formerly the most war ravaged region on Earth) continent. Having vistied the US, there are allot of things about it that are better than here. If it wasn't for the fact that there are so many marginalised people and so many excessively rich (inequlity in other words) , I would move there. I could even tolerate the gun ownership, provided it would be much more strictly regulated.
Becuase your signature answers your question, thats why.
And you should do some more research into 1337 before devoting an entire web site to it.
31337 also happens to be the port used by a particularly popular backdoor trojan. Though admittedly allot of script kiddis with feeble skills use the language with no real knowledge of its roots. They really are sad B@$t4*** Try to guess which one. I think you'll be pleasently surprised (or not).
Remember Pong? One of the first--and simplest--video games, Pong opened the door to a fascinating new frontier in gaming.
I'm sorry but I stopped reading the article there.
And I stopped reading your post here : ) And someone else stopped reading my post here.
Stop trolling! The site focusses allot on devices and I think they are right to. I think the future of gaming may well be wireless handhelds but for the moment I think that's still off in the distance. I think if they did a piece on the future of the home computer in the next 5 years it would have been more interesting. I'm hoping for architectures to be more diverse as we move away from i386 and dual core Intel/AMD to the Cell architecture and others.

Wouldn't it be allot better if I mis-typed googil and it opened up a little page saying:
"No page with that title exists"
That what happens when you search for 'googil" in Wikipedia
I just think this typo exploitation is greared towards allowing the ignorant to keep misspelling (like I probaly am now) and rewarding them by still opening up the correct page they were looking for, whilst simultaneously exploiting them with advertisements, and rewarding the vultures that create the typo sites.

Bandwidth insufficient it is
Come on now. I think he meant "the only name in town" - that's allot more popular.
"There's a new name in town..." !!!
PABX: Private Automatic Branch Exchange
or
Private Access Branch Exchange (less common)
So a pbx is a game? I think you meant name in town!
