These have been floating around the net for quite a while, so long, in fact, that many of the sites (fortunatley) no longer exist, but it's still funny how these things manage to make it onto the net without no one noticing. Anyway:
1. Who Represents - an index of entertainment talent and their agents, or somesuch.
www.whorepresents.com
2. Expert's Exchange - asshole tech support site that wants you to register to even look at their solutions.
www.expertsexchange.com
3. Pen Island - pen company. This one still exists.
www.penisland.com
4. Therapist Finder - self explanatory, also still exists.
www.therapistfinder.com
5. Mole Station Native Nursery - I don't know what this is, but it's in the UK and an animal/plant/hippie refuge of some sort. Address has since been changed.

5. Italian Power Company - Gone.

6. First Cumming Methodist Church - Changed.

E-Peen Update: Intel Christens New CPU Core i7
Intel unveiled their next major core processor line today, dubbed Core i7. Once known only by it's infinitely cooler code name, 'Nehalem,' the i7 will be coming out in boxes in the second half of 2009.
As expected, the architecture will further facilitate multiple cores, sporting from 2 to 8 cores. In addition, the features greater graphics processing capabilities, making integrated GPU's redundant, though nothing close to a replacement in power for a good discrete graphics brick. i7 also features an integrated memory controller, lower power requirements, and better multi-threading. The integrated memory management, in particular, is something of a coup de grace to AMD, since at this point pretty much the only differentiator for them now is higher price and inferior product. ^^;
All in all, it looks to be a killer processor for laptops and desktops that will not be shouldering any heavy graphics demands. For the rest of us e-peen fanatics, though, the improved memory handling and further elimination of bottlenecks is also certainly welcome.
I see Intel and Nvidia starting to butt heads in the future. They've collectively put their mutual competitor AMD to bed (unless they pull something drastic out their ass, like what Intel did to reverse AMD's initial onslaught all those years back), and both seem to be inching their way toward integrating one another's functionality.
Anyway, if i7 slips into 775 when it comes out, I might just pick one up.
