~ hfs! just last week we told someone to avoid using network solutions when registering a domain name, because we suspected that if you don’t purchase a name when you search for it, they will snatch it up. now look what is reported:
New domain name practice criticized
NEW YORK – A company that sells Internet domain names is facing criticisms for holding some in reserve as a consumer-protection measure, a move that also prevents interested parties from shopping around for better prices.
After weeks of testing, Network Solutions LLC began this week to grab names that people search for on its Web site but don’t immediately register.
we knew it!

ok, then!

also, it looks like i was dead wrong about hillary’s ‘crying’ being a fuck up
now, it is all anyone talks about – how it ‘saved’ her campaign by getting all these sympathetic women to vote for her.
this seems condescending to the ability of women to make rational decisions,
but wtf do i know about it?
although, a woman just called in to day-to-day [w] to admonish all men for calling hillary clinton ‘hillary’ while calling barack obama ‘obama’, as though using a first name puts someone in ‘her’ place. has anyone seen a campaign sign for ms. clinton? what name does she use?
maybe people say ‘hillary’ (like ‘w’ in ’00) so as not to be confused with the other clinton (like bush) we had 8 years previously, which is fucking stupid on an entirely new level.
~ corporate politics is lame; there are some more interesting discussions over at cafe tableaux and sisyphean
~ what is wrong with people? or, how on earth are decisions made by nimrods? some 94% white guy on ‘here and now’ was just asked why he voted for clinton, and he responded, ‘i like her. [ pause ] health care.’ what does that even mean? what about health care? it is term that clinton has used. is that all this guy knows about it?
‘why did you vote for mitt romney?’
‘i like him. gays.’
‘why did you vote for dennis kucinich?’
‘i like him. tempeh.’

New Yorkers rally to help online romeo
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A tale of online love inspired usually cynical New Yorkers this week to help a young man find the girl of his dreams after he spotted her on a crowded subway train.
etc, etc. the article goes on to say that a hipster in brooklyn saw his ‘dream girl’ on the train, and he went home and set up a website asking for her to call him. essentially this is another article that puffs up any bullshit that happened in nyc to be more important than bullshit in all other places. some of us have been posting missed connections, real and fake, for four or five years now, so we know intimately what type of horse’s ass would set up a cute website about a ‘dream girl’ he saw for 2 minutes, without knowing anything that is on her mind.
unless his ‘dream girl’ was writing (in french) about quasars in her journal, was wearing an ‘ambush bug’ hoodie, had soy dream on her chin, and sported a tattoo of chaucer, it is clear that this guy does not know jack shit about this girl; we doubt that he could honestly say anything more on his site than, ‘you’re, like, hot’. we loathe farcical mc’s!
~ also, over more than 4 years of inattention, we finally updated all of our posts, in the past made through various means and formats, to meet the same schema. you may now find the first three years, 2000-2003 fully tagged and searchable.
