Rican writes "MSNBC has an interesting article about how 'Googledorks' are using the powerful search engine to do searches across the web for sensitive and/or private information. Some of this information includes 'Medical records, bank account numbers, students' grades, and the docking locations of 804 U.S. Navy ships, submarines and destroyers.'"

It's the technical term for searching the web for the name of an extra in the big fight scenes in The Lord of the Rings movies.
This is a very popular pass time in New Zealand, where 95% of the country's population was used in the Minas Tirith scene.

Dude, if you think writing "htttp" with three t:s and put a space in the URL is gonna stop people from finding that document, you're pretty behind to tell you the truth.
