I do not usually link to random research ppaers, but this one is worth a look: Kwyjibo: automatic domain name generation. Here is the abstract:
Automatically generating good domain names that are random yet pronounceable is a problem harder than it first appears. The problem is related to random word generation, and we survey and categorize existing techniques before presenting our own syllable-based algorithm that produces higher-quality results. Our results are also applicable elsewhere, in areas such as password generation, username generation, and even computer-generated poetry.
This is fun research.

Fun indeed 🙂
Session cookie error isn’t due to a broken link but to stupid design of the website.
It tries to retrieve a cookie which belongs to the previous user whenever the “ABSTRACT?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0” parameters appear in the URL.
Using only the initial segment of the address works fine http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/118002113/
That link is broken, I get “Session Cookie Error”.
Thank you. Not just stupid. Broken.
