Internet Black Holes 100
An anonymous reader writes "Hubble is a system that operates continuously to find persistent Internet black holes as they occur. Hubble has operated continuously since September 17, 2007. During that time, it identified 881,090 black holes and reachability problems. In the most recent quarter-hourly round, completed at 04:40 PDT, 04/09/2008, Hubble issued 46,846 traceroutes to 1,815 prefixes it identified as likely to be experiencing problems (of 78,772 total prefixes monitored by the system). Of these, it found 195 prefixes to be unreachable from all its vantage points and 139 to be reachable from some vantage points and not others." No relationship to that other Hubble which also tries to find black holes ;)

There is nothing ironic in racist, homophobic rants: st00p3d is st00p3d.
The stuff doesn't even bump the needle on the dada meter.

The same also goes for people who name their products or companies using simple short common terms strung together - whereupon a search for that returns a BAJILLION other unrelated hits.
This is sorta like "naming servers". "Short unique names that are easy to type." That's the primary criteria where I'm at. "Cute" and "in" and "cool" are completely secondary.
