Everyone knows Googlefight is the appropriate tool for this job.

I'm sorry to say, but in the battle of Linux vs. Real, Real won.


On the other hand, Linux beat the crap out of RealPlayer.

(peewee) Gmail client vs Outlook client
http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&wo rd1=GMail+Email+Client&word2=Outlook+Client

So?

http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&wo rd1=google&word2=microsoft

2.47 billion to 1.76 billion

So microsoft over google too?

Gmail: 138,000,000 results
Pine: 141,000,000 results

Heh.. the word I have to type below in the obfuscated image to post this is "rebuttal"

You think *that's* bad.... http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&wo rd1=emacs&word2=vi

I don't know how accurate that whole googlefight thing is. Did you see this one?
Google Fight

...GoogleFight!

GMail Email Client: 5,100,000 results
Pine Email Client: 2,080,000 results

Sorry dude. The unwashed masses have spoken. Time to upgrade!

Here's another metric

Looks pretty close.

Oh wait, no it doesn't.

Let Google Fight handle this one.

Students:
2,890,000,000 results

Hackers:
87,700,000 results

No contest.

Software developer might beat the pirate in a Russian boxing ring. Same in a GoogleFight with the same matchup. But in "software developer" vs pirate, without the whole software and development gang for tag teaming, the pirate wins.

It's also about even in the digital production arena. Maybe there really isn't any difference, like light is both a particle and a wave?

I guess Chuck Norris cant always win. :(

Ok. I want this to be a clean fight.

No punching bellow belt, no headbutting, no nicknames and most importantly no RIAA propaganda. Yes, i mean you in the blue trunks, if you ain't got no parrot and a wooden leg, or even a measly eyepatch, you are not a pirate.

So, in the left corner wearing red trunks, undisputed champion, Software developer... *Crowd cheers*.

... and in the right corner wearing blue trunks, the infamous Copyright infringer!

Fight on!

GOOGLEFIGHT!

Does it really matter if you're not using the right editor?

The winner is clear!

GoogleFight confirms it. Slashdot wins. :-P

Offtopic interesting link: Digg vs. Slashdot

Interesting site. Unfortunately, it's only a "FIRST POST!" tracker. It doesn't really compare the quality of the two sites. Digg has its ups in that just about everything that you might find cool flies through there. On the other hand, that also means that the noise ratio is pretty darn high. On top of that, Slashdot has a much better comment system. (Though Digg is really trying with their latest Slashdot-ripped-off-threaded-comment-system.)

Slashdot's focus and superior discussion forums really put it ahead of Digg for most professional users. As a result, the far more attractive (and generally better constructed) Digg ends up attracted far more students, highschoolers, and budding programmers than it may intend.

Final Analysis? Go whereever you feel more comfortable. The Internet is big enough for both.

Amazingly, I get identical results when I do "sex" vs. "effect". I'm pretty certain it's ignoring the "/.".

Wow, that's amazing!!!! But even better is this: "sex" vs "/. effect". It confirms my suspicions about the relative importance of things around here.

but which movie wins the Googlefight?

Another good one!

Google Vs. Microsoft on Google's own turf. Oh the shame!.

It's a good thing!

It should have been "ipod halo effect" vs. "slashdot efect" Fight!

But take a look at "Halo effect" vs "/. effect"

I've never heard of the "Halo effect" but apparently it kicks Slashdot's arse

And by the same logic,

starbucks is good.
http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&wo rd1=%22starbucks+is+good%22&word2=%22starbucks+is+ bad%22

And mcdonalds is good...

This proves that coffee is good.

Let's settle it once and for all...

GoogleFight!

There you have it. Screw the haters.

A Google fight between 'coffee heart disease' and 'coffee antioxidants' makes it clear that this no contest.

Coffee heart disease: 8,860,000 results
Coffee antioxidants: 1,500,000 results

Now should I feel like Fry when they discovered what Slurm really was?

"Ewww!" (sip)

Compiere? Sorry, I have bills to pay. Think I'll stay with SAP, thanks.

Ok, here is how the stats line up with Googlefight:

1) Microsoft: 2,380,000,000
2) Google: 1,750,000,000
3) Yahoo: 893,000,000

However,
"Google search": 1,200,000,000
"MSN search": 420,000,000

Well, the Internet thinks it's "lesser known" by a landslide.

less known vs. lesser known

Keeping in mind that correct grammar is itself "lesser known" on the internet, small fragments of sodium chloride are suggested for consumption.
