This is scandalous! I would expect better from a company with the motto "Don't be evil." Google should make it absolute clear that this new language is notGo!
Life any good/.er, I have not RTFA; but I was very surprised to see this on the front page. Tim's reasoning for the double-slash is readily available information in his very own FAQ.
I have to say that now I regret that the syntax is so clumsy. I would like http://www.example.com/foo/bar/baz to be just written http:com/example/foo/bar/baz where the client would figure out that www.example.com existed and was the server to contact. But it is too late now. It turned out the shorthand "//www.example.com/foo/bar/baz" is rarely used and so we could dispense with the "//".

I hear ME gets all the ladies.
Would you care to divulge your sources?
I believe CV (Curriculum Vitae) is generally referred to as a résumé in the US. CV is a more British term.
The internet is not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.

Iceland shares its border with no country. I can't think of any more though.
I quite like the combination "Batty Bitch" from the suggestions page.
It has a certain je ne sais quoi about it.
7-zip can unzip ISO's like a standard archive, no need to mount at all!
I think it's a new feature so you might need to grab a recent beta.
