Enterprise Search:
"With world-class functionality and development tools to power search on the enterprise intranet, AV Enterprise Search is optimized to search unstructured data, in environments with high security needs and multiple data sources. Built on the same scalable architecture that powers millions of queries per day on the AltaVista network , AV Enterprise Search offers the functionality, reliability, scalability, and customizability required to meet the most sophisticated intranet search demands."

But should we really trust Altavista to search the whole company?

In Germany we got a guy who has stolen plutonium from atomic recycling factory!
Apparantly the security there was so low that he just had to put it asides and take it with him home. check out the german magazine "spiegel online".
You may need babelfish

The military is looking at using the system for many of its operations in foreign countries, Palmquist notes. "It is very intimidating when a Marine carrying a gun comes up to a civilian and asks a question and the civilian can't understand it," he says. "If you could more easily communicate with that person, a lot of tension is relieved. There is a certain benefit when the military is able to communicate with the local populace."

Imagine a heavily armed marine striding up to you, asking you a question, and depending on a machine to translate the response. Would any us who have used babelfish want our lives to depend on this technolgy? Yikes. The only question would be, should I just keep my mouth shut, or should I run like hell?

Now bear in mind that Google couldn't even come up with the phrase, however much I +'d it to death, on its top ten list. If I only have that one phrase in memory on Google, I can't find it.

The problem is that you +'ed it too much. If you search for +"+but +that +the +dread" you'll notice that it gives you some warnings. Google's ignoring all of the +'s you added, because you're using some of them incorrectly. ("dread" is not a stop word, for example)

Instead, try searching for "but +that +the dread". Then you'll get what you're looking for.

ROFL!!!!

It says it's ignoring them, but the top few "hits" typically do include the exact page. I just tried, for instance, "All your base are belong to us". It claims to ignore "are" and "to" but the top few hits contain the exact phrase. (The same happens with your example "Hail to the chief", though it says it's ignoring "to the".)

   The sound seemed taken out of her voice; it was husky as the notes on an old harpsichord when the strings have ceased to vibrate. She read her answer in my face, I suppose, for I could not speak. Her look was one of intense fear, but that died away into an aspect of most humble patience. At length she seemed to force herself to face behind and around her: she saw the purple moors, the blue distant hills, quivering in the sunlight, but nothing else.
   
   'Will you take me home?' she said meekly.
   
   I took her by the hand, and led her silently through the budding heather - we dared not speak; for we could not tell but that the dread creature was listening, although unseen - but that IT might appear and push us asunder. I never loved her more fondly than now when - and that was the unspeakable misery - the idea of her was becoming so inextricably blended with the shuddering thought of IT. She seemed to understand what I must be feeling. She let go my hand, which she had kept clasped until then, when we reached the garden gate, and went forwards to meet her anxious friend, who was standing by the window looking for her. I could not enter the house: I needed silence, society, leisure, change - I knew not what - to shake off the sensation of that creature's presence. Yet I lingered about the garden - I hardly know why; partly, I suppose, because I feared to encounter the resemblance again on the solitary common, where it had vanished, and partly from a feeling of inexpressible compassion for Lucy. In a few minutes Mistress Clarke came forth and joined me. We walked some paces in silence.

   Mr. Ledwich, in his Epitome of the Antiquities of Ireland, says, that in the reign of King John the clergy did not receive any tithes; the veneration for the church at that time was so great, that regulations were unnecessary; they were supported by oblations. The piety of modern times, I fear, would influence but very small collections. The whole ecclesiastical revenue to a late period was divided into four parts, one to the Bishop, one to the clergy, one to the poor, and one to support the church and other uses, and he says this mode exists at this day in the diocese of Clonfert.
   
   To throw as much light on this subject as possible, I shall make a few extracts from Mr. Rawson's admirable Survey of Kildare, lately published. In page 27 he mentions one tithe-dealer having exacted thirty shillings per acre for wheat;** "the dread of citation, and the loss of his straw, made the timorous ploughman yield to any terms." Again, page 31, "It must appear evident to every man, that the entire weight of the church establishment falls on the sweat from the brow of industry, whilst the feeder of one thousand bullocks does not pay as much as the herdsman for his garden. Can it be denied, but that the dread of tithe keeps much land in pasture, which would otherwise give bread to thousands, encrease population twenty-fold, do away all necessity of emigration, and make little Ireland not only a granary to England, but to the whole world." In page 33, and which deserves peculiar attention, "The assertors, that the titles to tithes and to estates are of equal strength, should consider that, if estates were to be let at undefined rents from year to year, and the landlord at each harvest to view the crops and exact some proportion in lieu of rent, would any occupier in such case be anxious to till or improve? Would not the kingdom soon become a dreary uninhabited waste? Yet exactly such is the conduct towards the tenth of the produce, the tithe. Let the land-holder be ascertained at what yearly rent he is to pay for one and the other, and all complaint is at an end.[...]

   3. Add to this the revelation of God's goodness, and it must needs make his presence dreadful to us; for when a poor defiled creature shall see that this great God hath, notwithstanding his greatness, goodness in his heart, and mercy to bestow upon him: this makes his presence yet the more dreadful. They "shall fear the Lord and his goodness" (Hosea 3:5). The goodness as well as the greatness of God doth beget in the heart of his elect an awful reverence of his majesty. "Fear ye not me? saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence?" And then, to engage us in our soul to the duty, he adds one of his wonderful mercies to the world, for a motive, "Fear ye not me?" Why, who are thou? He answers, Even I, "which have" set, or "placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it; and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?" (Jer 5:22). Also, when Job had God present with him, making manifest the goodness of his great heart to him, what doth he say? how doth he behave himself in his presence? "I have heard of thee," says he, "by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee; wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes" (Job 42:5,6).
   
   And what mean the tremblings, the tears, those breakings and shakings of heart that attend the people of God, when in an eminent manner they receive the pronunciation of the forgiveness of sins at his mouth, but that the dread of the majesty of God is in their sight mixed therewith? God must appear like himself, speak to the soul like himself; nor can the sinner, when under these glorious discoveries of his Lord and Saviour, keep out the beams of his majesty from the eyes of his understanding. "I will cleanse them," saith he, "from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me." And what then? "And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness, and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it" (Jer 33:8,9). Alas! there is a company of poor, light, frothy professors in the world, that carry it under that which they call the presence of God, more like to antics, than sober sensible Christians; yea, more like to a fool of a play, than those that have the presence of God. They would not carry it so in the presence of a king, nor yet of the lord of their land, were they but receivers of mercy at his hand. They carry it even in their most eminent seasons, as if the sense and sight of God, and his blessed grace to their souls in Christ, had a tendency in them to make men wanton: but indeed it is the most humbling and heart-breaking sight in the world; it is fearful.

He answers, Even I, "which have" set, or "placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it; and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?" (Jer 5:22). Also, when Job had God present with him, making manifest the goodness of his great heart to him, what doth he say? how doth he behave himself in his presence? "I have heard of thee," says he, "by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee; wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes" (Job 42:5,6).
   
   And what mean the tremblings, the tears, those breakings and shakings of heart that attend the people of God, when in an eminent manner they receive the pronunciation of the forgiveness of sins at his mouth, but that the dread of the majesty of God is in their sight mixed therewith? God must appear like himself, speak to the soul like himself; nor can the sinner, when under these glorious discoveries of his Lord and Saviour, keep out the beams of his majesty from the eyes of his understanding. "I will cleanse them," saith he, "from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me." And what then? "And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness, and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it" (Jer 33:8,9). Alas! there is a company of poor, light, frothy professors in the world, that carry it under that which they call the presence of God, more like to antics, than sober sensible Christians; yea, more like to a fool of a play, than those that have the presence of God. They would not carry it so in the presence of a king, nor yet of the lord of their land, were they but receivers of mercy at his hand. They carry it even in their most eminent seasons, as if the sense and sight of God, and his blessed grace to their souls in Christ, had a tendency in them to make men wanton: but indeed it is the most humbling and heart-breaking sight in the world; it is fearful.

   The sound seemed taken out of her voice; it was husky as the notes on an old harpsichord when the strings have ceased to vibrate. She read her answer in my face, I suppose, for I could not speak. Her look was one of intense fear, but that died away into an aspect of most humble patience. At length she seemed to force herself to face behind and around her: she saw the purple moors, the blue distant hills, quivering in the sunlight, but nothing else.
   
   'Will you take me home?' she said meekly.
   
   I took her by the hand, and led her silently through the budding heather - we dared not speak; for we could not tell but that the dread creature was listening, although unseen - but that IT might appear and push us asunder. I never loved her more fondly than now when - and that was the unspeakable misery - the idea of her was becoming so inextricably blended with the shuddering thought of IT. She seemed to understand what I must be feeling. She let go my hand, which she had kept clasped until then, when we reached the garden gate, and went forwards to meet her anxious friend, who was standing by the window looking for her. I could not enter the house: I needed silence, society, leisure, change - I knew not what - to shake off the sensation of that creature's presence. Yet I lingered about the garden - I hardly know why; partly, I suppose, because I feared to encounter the resemblance again on the solitary common, where it had vanished, and partly from a feeling of inexpressible compassion for Lucy.

   Mr. Ledwich, in his Epitome of the Antiquities of Ireland, says, that in the reign of King John the clergy did not receive any tithes; the veneration for the church at that time was so great, that regulations were unnecessary; they were supported by oblations. The piety of modern times, I fear, would influence but very small collections. The whole ecclesiastical revenue to a late period was divided into four parts, one to the Bishop, one to the clergy, one to the poor, and one to support the church and other uses, and he says this mode exists at this day in the diocese of Clonfert.
   
   To throw as much light on this subject as possible, I shall make a few extracts from Mr. Rawson's admirable Survey of Kildare, lately published. In page 27 he mentions one tithe-dealer having exacted thirty shillings per acre for wheat;** "the dread of citation, and the loss of his straw, made the timorous ploughman yield to any terms." Again, page 31, "It must appear evident to every man, that the entire weight of the church establishment falls on the sweat from the brow of industry, whilst the feeder of one thousand bullocks does not pay as much as the herdsman for his garden. Can it be denied, but that the dread of tithe keeps much land in pasture, which would otherwise give bread to thousands, encrease population twenty-fold, do away all necessity of emigration, and make little Ireland not only a granary to England, but to the whole world." In page 33, and which deserves peculiar attention, "The assertors, that the titles to tithes and to estates are of equal strength, should consider that, if estates were to be let at undefined rents from year to year, and the landlord at each harvest to view the crops and exact some proportion in lieu of rent, would any occupier in such case be anxious to till or improve? Would not the kingdom soon become a dreary uninhabited waste? Yet exactly such is the conduct towards the tenth of the produce, the tithe.

"I will cleanse them," saith he, "from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me." And what then? "And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness, and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it" (Jer 33:8,9). Alas! there is a company of poor, light, frothy professors in the world, that carry it under that which they call the presence of God, more like to antics, than sober sensible Christians; yea, more like to a fool of a play, than those that have the presence of God. They would not carry it so in the presence of a king, nor yet of the lord of their land, were they but receivers of mercy at his hand. They carry it even in their most eminent seasons, as if the sense and sight of God, and his blessed grace to their souls in Christ, had a tendency in them to make men wanton: but indeed it is the most humbling and heart-breaking sight in the world; it is fearful.

   "
   But that the dread of someone else could win that game, puzzles the will and makes us rather bear those ills we have. Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; and thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pith and moment. With this regard their currents turn awry, and lose the name of action.

Slashdot. The news for the nerds, matter which they import.

Gotta watch that "fair-use" stuff... it's extremely limited and does not refer to modification at all. You have the right to quote small snippets in a academic context, parody, and a couple of other small things, but it does not extend to arbitrary modification.

Both systems would be an end-user activity that adds value, in the user's mind, to the information already present in the website.

First, there is no "right" to add value to somebody else's copyrighted work. If your use isn't covered under the extremely limited fair-use clauses and you don't have permission, you are legally out of luck.

The changes are not made on the server, they're made in the browser. Just because Opera allows you to zoom a page, is it violating fair use? No. A website delivers you some information, either free, or in exchnage for something (money, advertising data, etc.). At that point, as long as you're not duplicating it for others, it's yours. You can feed it through a program to do word-count analysis, you can feed it to a translation program, you can feed it to a program which shows you how it looks to people with color-blindness or other vision impairments, you can insert your own commentary on the page, you can rot13 it, encrypt it, delete it, etc. Copyright is about copying. If the information is delivered to you in a physical form (like a newspaper), you can destroy it, give it to someone else, etc., as long as you're not copying it.

In fact, the web gives you even more options: if the server permits, you can fetch the page through another server which translates for you, or processes the page to show you how it looks to a color-blind person. You used to be able to have whole collections of commentary on web pages, but the commentary was so useless that there's no money in it...

What Microsoft is doing is creating a filter in the users' browsers which adds complementary information. In theory (in other words, ignoring monopoly practices and considerations), users have every right to use that browser to perform that task, or to choose a different browser, to perform other information-processing tasks.

According to babelfish, Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi translates to: Please Sleep You With Me

But Voulez-vous coucher avec moi translates to: Want you to sleep with me

I don't agree with the agressiveness of the police on this matter either. They probably could've saved everyone time & money if they simply warned the business to comply with the laws by a certain time, instead of arresting them.

He helped create the first "hit" computer game based on a novel, helped ignite the whole "books on tape" trend, brought his stories to radio and television, helped create the rich, computerized environment of "Starship Titanic" and the concept of a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"--a massive collection of obscure hyperlinked information (before the www existed) displayed on a small handheld computer (before PDAs existed). He also created the idea of the babel fish--a universal translator, essentially. Just by writing a good yarn, he helped spur change in the world around him that has benefited all of us. We all owe a lot to the guy and to the kind of changes that one "good read" can bring. Thanks, Doug.

Babelfish translator has lost his creator and maintainer.
Who will feed the fish, now ?
Maybe we should give the babelfish to Theo de Raadt, so that OpenBSD will run all hardware (past, present and future) over the universe ? And we will give back the ex-OpenBSD blowfish to the Altavista dudes, they won't see any change, anyway.

here Have fun! Link.

Kaillera will curdle.

Altavista has changed their submit URL process. A picture of randomly created numbers and letters are shown, you have to type them in and only then you can submit your URL. They had to do this because most of the submissions were from auto-submission services, which sent 95% crap.

A similar thing could be done with the email address display within Google Groups search results.

FYI, the GNUArt Project which consists of GPL'ing Art has become reality on http://gnuart.org (charter) and http://gnuart.net (gallery) on January 1st, 2001.
The advantage of GNUArt is obvious as, instead of having yet another license, we just exploit a valid existing one.
It is still being translated to english at the moment but you have the fish until then.
The charter was co-written with Richard Stallman.

Not unless there is some special firewall router box has TWO DSL ports in which one can drop between the CO and the crappy Alcatel 1000, you're better off replacing the whole thing.

Then perhaps you should use one of the 44,100 links at Google.

Or the 21,434 links at Altavista.

Or, try "bonobo gnome" and get 332 links at Google, and 21,462 links at Altavista.

Why in the hell should any story that is about a piece of software automatically include a complete recap of what's on the project web site? This is a news site, it's expected that not every single reader will want to view every single story, and that those who do want to view a story will possess at least a modicum of clue.

If not subject-specific clue, then at least the ability to type "www.google.com" into a web browser.

Sorry folks... I cut and paste all those links and it turns out they use some weird cookie shit... sigh...

Well anyways to see the benchmarks pop this url: http://www.rivastation.com/3dprophet4500-64mb.htm

Into http://world.altavista.com and select German to English. On the site you'll see a sidebar on the right side with links to the individual benchmarks.

If anything these benchmarks should show you how little the current hardware T&L is being used and helping performance.

The Anandtech benchmarks were done some time ago with drivers that are a month to two months old. The feedback from Anandtech, other sites, and game developers have caused some more work to be done on the drivers and the result is this:

• The so called "performance" hit in Giants was really a Giants bug... the demo shows the hit but the real game has a patch available that greatly speeds up the kyro and makes it look much nicer image quality wise
• The graphics and performance bugs found in MTBR turned out to be MTBR bugs (notice a theme here?) which were fixed in a patch by the MTBR developers. The game now runs much faster without the noted graphics bugs. (Does the GeForce3 even show textures in this game yet? ;)
• Much of the Evolva DX8 benchmark penalties have been fixed (driver bug) and the Evolva people are adding features like the 8 layer multitexturing stuff that the Kyro supports but the Geforce 2 falls flat on its face with.

Some benchmarks with latest drivers and all the common tweaks which don't create combatibility problems:

http://www.rivastation.com/3dprophet4500-64mb.htm (use babblefish) Note how the GTS beats the kyro at 16bit but the Kyro beats the GTS at 32bit... at low res's the GTS wins but as the res is bumped up the GTS starts hitting bandwidth limitations which the Kyro doesn't see at all

MBTR Benchmark The GTS wins at 16bit, the Kyro wins at 32bit... GASP! What?!?! T&L didn't help the bandwidth limited GTS at 32bit?!?! OH NO!

MDK2 MDK2 is about the only game currently where T&L counts... but look at 1280x1024@32bit color the KyroII turns in an acceptible 61fps compared to the Geforce GTS's 56fps. Why? The GTS's DDR powered memory bandwidth is capped while the KyroII's smart way of rendering means its non-DDR bandwidth isn't even sweating. What good is T&L if you can't fit all the textures through your memory bus?

Full Screen Antialiasing The Kyro whipes the GTS all over the floor when FSAA is used at decent resolutions... sorry Nvidia fans, you'll have to fork out $500 for nonbroken FSAA.

And next its time to discuss the myth that the GeForce 2's T&L will be even remotely useful in a year or two... Aquanox (DX8 features) This benchmark stresses DX8 features such as the programmable T&L and all the cool features Doom3 will be using. The Kyro lays around at 10fps and misterious drops off on the highend (driver bug?). But what is shocking is look how low the GTS scores are. Even at 640x480 its not even "playable". Proof positive that the GeForce 2's onboard T&L goes out the window when DX8 takes off and its in the same boat as the Kyro.

What does this all mean? It means if you have the cash get the GeForce3... If you don't, don't bother paying all the extra cash for the Geforce2 GTS, Pros, Ultras, etc. As they will be useless with Doom 3 and friends anyways. Do what I'm going to do, pick up a Kyro II for below $150 in a month, use it for a year, and grab a next generation GeForce3 when they are at a reasonable price (> $250-$300 is not reasonable for any video card... bleh)

I'd like to also note that you obviously don't own Tribes2 or understand how fucked up an engine it is if you dare mention it in the same context as card performance. My G400 is performing much better then VooDoo5s with this game! And sub-$300 GeForce2 owners are constantly bitching about performance as $150 Radeons are beating them consistantly. When you go from quality at 100% to the lowest quality settings and you only get a 10fps boost, something is fucked up.

Ok.. I'm done ranting... hope someone found this informative :)

This comment is very stupid. If you are going to send an email to many people, it is not possible to change the language for everyone. This is the problem at hand. And many of the words in these languages are similar to the same ones in English, for example (shouldn't that have been 'por ejemplo'?) "sex" in Spanish is "sexo," and "pornography" is "pornografía."

As for the people advocating grammatical filters, it's not very hard to get around that. Just send your text through the fish once or twice, and see if any computer can parse that shit.

English-Spanish-English:
Like for the people who plead the grammar filters, he is not very hard to obtain around that. Hardly it sends its text through the fish once or twice, and sees if any computer can analyze that excrement.

As for the people who support grammatical filters, to receive is not very hard, around whose send simply your text by fish once or twice, and see, if a computer can analyze these Scheisse.

The only trouble is getting humans to recognize it. Alternatively you, could just insert! random punctuation mark's and Capitalization in? Your text". I wonder; if any( filter could understand, this).? Its' human readable-after just? a moment so, it wouldn't be! much more/ of an. obstacle to understanding The message than some people's terrible. Grammar!! Combine, with 1337 sp34k! for Keywords like fuc|< and/ $h1t, and your text! Is completely Filter-?proof.

"However, I still have to disagree. If you are likely to want the contents of a non-English URL, you're going to need a non-English viewer of some kind, and if you already have that, then the input method is only a tiny step beyond."

The premise that only people speaking the language of a website will be interested in it is narrow minded to the extreme. Several examples that immediately spring to mind:

1. how do you explain the existence of babel.altavista.com?
2. have you ever gone searching for a driver update for your new fangled computer doodad on some Taiwanese web site? now imagine trying to do that when the website name is in Taiwanese...
3. what about tourists (American or Chinese) trying to reserve a train ticket, online, in Germany, a classicaly "German only" affair by your reckoning? No more tickets for net savvy tourists because they can't type Os with umlauts?!?
4. what do you do if you are trilingual? Dual boot Windows Me?!?

"Thirdly, there would be terrible political consequences to forcing everyone to use ASCII. It would very quickly be perverted into an East versus West issue."

This one is ridiculous. ASCII letters are the tool to navigate the web. Just like the browser and its back button. It is not ideal but it is still just a tool. Saying it will turn into a religious war is just plain alarmist.

Of course, you'd need to use this technique with a search engine who takes dead link submissions. Eg., Altavista and its "Add or Remove a Page" link

AltaVista does not allow submissions from visually impaired users or users of text-based web browsers such as Lynx, Links, or w3m. Its submission page uses a GIF image (burn all GIFs) to display rotated text in various fonts. The user is supposed to read the text and enter it into a field below. But visually impaired users, users on text browsers, and users on browsers whose developers have been cease-and-desisted by Unisys never see the GIF and cannot contribute links to AltaVista.
