Post by: niro on September 08, 2005, 06:13:00 am

check this out, do a "i'm feeling lucky" search on google using the word "failure."

Um, Google doesn't get props for that, it's a thing called "Google-hacking," where webmeisters all over the world team up to make a certain word or phrase rise to the top.  The "I'm feeling lucky" button just takes you to whatever link comes out on top.
 
 Right wing webmeisters do the same kind of childish thing, but with different words.

I am pretty sure Doom does not understand. It seems clear he does not nderstand the term google  hacking. (http://comment.zdnet.co.uk/other/0,39020682,39172957,00.htm) Perhaps it is best we all just point and laugh at him.
 
 Incidentally if you do a google search for failure you get much of the same.

Whatever, it's google-whacking, or blasting, or some other dorky term for fucking with Google's listings.
 
 But more importantly, D'oh!  I just got out-geeked by Markie (http://us.ent4.yimg.com/tv.yahoo.com/images/he/photo/tv_pix/fox/the_simpsons/hank_azaria/char_comicbook.jpg)!  My ego is shattered...

I didn't notice that.  Clearly, an epic geek battle is raging between who will be at the top ranking for failure, Michael Moore or George Bush!
