google: 195,000,000
yahoo: 231,000,000

...I dunno if you can trust this data without netcraft to back it up though :/

According to Googlefight Yahoo Wins 268,000,000 to Google's 193,000,000. How's that for a paradigm shift without a clutch?

KEY FINDINGS
Overall, firearms (including air weapons) were used in 0.4 per cent of all recorded crimes. The proportion
excluding air weapons was 0.18 per cent.
Firearms other than air weapons were reported to have been used in 9,974 recorded crimes in 2001/02.
This was a 35 per cent increase over the previous year.
Air weapons were used in 12,340 recorded crimes, a rise of 21 per cent compared to 2000/01. Threequarters
(77%) of recorded crimes involving air weapons were of criminal damage.
There were 97 fatalities and 558 serious injuries resulting from crimes that involved firearms (including air
weapons) in 2001/02.
Handguns were used in 5,871 recorded crimes, an increase of 46 per cent on the previous year. Seventy
per cent of robberies in which a firearm was present involved a handgun.
The number of firearm robberies increased by a third (34%) between 2000-01 and 2001/02. Currently,
the number of firearm robberies is the highest since 1993. However, the proportion of robberies involving
firearms (including air weapons) has remained between four and five per cent for the last five years.
Weapons were fired in only 24 per cent of firearm crimes (excluding those involving air weapons). In
most of the cases (84%) where a handgun was present, it was used as a threat and was not fired or used
as a blunt instrument.

The things I never see the US gun-lobby admitting is that although guns are good as defensive weapons, they are even better as offensive weapons, and that they are dangerous and cause accidents. The net effect of more guns around is more gun-related injuries, whichever way you try to cut it: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&wo rd1=new+york+shooting&word2=london+shooting Sure illegal guns are a problem, but the number of shootings is still a lot less per capita in countries that limit legal gun-ownership. - In the UK having an unlicenced gun will get you a mandatory 3-year prison sentence. - I think the lady you refer to was calling for this to be increased. As for "break-ins and rapes and stuff", I doubt gun-ownership was a deterrent for those in the past, as we have not banned gun-ownership here, only tightened the safety-checks on licensing and banned automatic weapons (also handguns have been banned for many years). You can still get a shotgun if you have no criminal record, have a need for a shotgun, and will store it securely. Regarding hate-speech, anything is legal in print, or on the net, but there is a crime of "inciting racial hatred" here, which refers to political speeches and the like. - I don't think this conflicts with our wish for a tolerant society - you can legitimately supress factions which are a danger to freedom, - The US has been particularly keen on this approach, for a long time. - or hadn't you noticed?

Google vs. Yahoo

GOOGLE FIGHT!

The GoogleFight says Horse Mouse

I'd think that one is complement too.

But hey, I'm not a spelling nazi.

What about this Google fight then?

P.S. Arghh! It's all been redone in flash!

This is all that's needed to answer such a silly question: Googlefight!

Just to confuse you, I will do what someone up above did: Point to this link.
Draw your own conclusions?

GoogleFight!!!

Ahso... So solly... You ruse!

Googlefight!

Case in point.

Googlefight!

Steganography wins.

.... the only way microsoft could beat google would be if hey killed them so they would become them http://googlefight.com/cgi-bin/compare.pl?q1=googl e&q2=msn&B1=Make+a+fight!&compare=1&langue=us there is proof that google will own msn search

It's apparent you have no idea what Googlefight is.

teh google knows all

Well of course we already got the result: Thanks to googlefight.com

Googlefight is great for stuff like this (saves you a few clicks and some manual comparison of results). I've used it in the exact same way.

Why not put it to the test?

Hollywood is much bigger than the game industry, says google.

Hollywood wins 35 million to 15 million! Hollywood is over double the size of the game industry!

Unfortunately, "could care less" is somewhat more common according to according to google....

In Googlefight, burgle wins

Glazed McGuffins, not frosted.

Don't believe me?

I think you'll find that the T1000 would still win.

I'd like to think that NS would kick WGs butt, but Google Fight says it'd be Gibson...

That's a variant of a more popular spelling.

Why are we not seeing Linux vs. Solaris X?

Linux wins easily.

Hotmail drags for everybody. Just check out this google search:

http://www.google.com/search?q=hotmail+slow&star t= 0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=o rg.mozilla:en-US:official

How about gmail slow? Not that I'm arguing your point, just your evidence, I personally feel that gmail is tons faster then hotmail but google search containing your point isn't a good way to argue, what about a google fight, hotmail slow ( 426 000 results) versus hotmail fast (1 090 000 results)

DOH!

well
gmail slow ( 101 000 results) versus gmail fast ( 226 000 results)

that's better

So, well, is there a better authority than SiFi and Wikipedia out there?

Both are irrelevant. The winner is: "digital versatile disk". The Google Hath Spoken.

http://googlefight.com/cgi-bin/compare.pl?q1=adbar &q2=adblock&B1=Make+a+fight!&compare=1&langue= us Google Fight

From the article:

A "Googlefight" on, say, Java vs .NET tells us that all has not necessarily gone Java's way just recently. A "mere" 66 million "Java" hits...versus 388 million for "NET" - but that may all be about to change.

The article provided a link to the Googlefight, which in turn contained a link to the searches for "Java" and ".NET". A small sample of those 388 million hits for ".NET" from Google, emphasis preserved as it was in the listing:

SourceForge.net: Welcome

www.php.net/

www.cnet.com/

freshmeat.net: Welcome to freshmeat.net

www.historynet.com/

www.photo.net/

In short, this list seems to include the mainpage of every webserver in every domain which has the word "net" somewhere in the domainname (like in, for example, at the end...), as well as every page which mentions that word...

For Googles credit, the very first hit was Microsofts page for .NET technology.

Conclusion: This article might not be entirely trustworthy.

In other news, Steve Jobs is richer than Bill Gates, and Apple has 50% of Microsoft's market share

Googlefight != research.

It gets even sillier than that: Fox News wins the Googlefight "Fox News anti-american" vs. "BBC anti-american" 56 100 to 51800!

Google treats ".net" the same as "net". The googlefight between "java" and ".net" is the same as the googlefight between "java" and "net".

(Posting as AC to not blow moderations done in this forum)

This is EXACTLY what GoogleFight was made for!

I entered the two topics:

Beowulf Cluster vs. Beowulf Poem

And The Results (A Drum Roll, Please)...

Cluster Wins! They show 135,000 articles vs. 92,600 for the poem.

Googlefight says:
'suse gecko' = 23,400 hits,
'suse chameleon' = 4,310 hits.
Winner: 'suse gecko'

But, Suse's own site explains it's a chameleon named Geeko.

Them facts are straight.

son of a bitch

it's close

almost there....

It looks like today's your lucky day! Google won! Here's your five dollars

The PHB wins:

Seriously, why play brain-pool for BillGee and give him any potentially good ideas ?

Of course MS could sell linux software too, but no camp will be enthusiastic about it. We want to see a battle, not a process of assimilation(literally). Woot! fight

Interesting that Google don't seem to mind about API applications keeping the whole word Google in their names, from Google Fight to Googlism to Google Rankings. The Google Alert tool states explicitly on its FAQs that Google "agreed to the use of the Google Alert name and googlealert.com domain". I guess it's all about the distinction between sites that feed into Google's brand value, and those that take away from it.

Yeh, I'm always missing the boat.
