  1. The days before Google. by Tokerat · · Score: 1 · on Google Turns 5

    I had a hard time remmebering, but before Google I always used:Metacrawler is still good sometmes when Google isn't returning completely desirable results (hey, it happens), but other than that, I didn't even know any of these searches where still active. I wonder if they all use Google software now? ;-)
  2. Hasn't this been done? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Yahoo! Launches Pay-Per-Search

    Didn't infoseek try this around 1995 or so?

  3. Why feed good anime to the USTV garbage compacter? by EnemaSmurf · · Score: 2 · on Toonami Plans Revealed

    Maybe it's better they don't release it on TV; then it doesn't get hacked. Nadesico and Eva certianly wouldn't survive the process. Anime's much more widespread than four years ago. Hopefully the process will continue and some cable network will see the light. More preferably, hopefully some cool developer or cofounder will put those options to good use and start an all-anime cable channel, altering only to add 3 (not 4) commercials per episode.

    I know someone took great time and care drawing the new anime topic icon; but, uhm, am I the only one that finds it unrepresentatively un-kawaii? There are so many cute or cool characters out there; Ruri, Mill-chan, Ed, Miyu, Van, Lain, etc. So they probably can't be used, but fan art sites, like fredart.com have artists who would love to have their fine work represented every four days or so on the cover of /., and the results would definitely be visually pleasaing (which is kinda the point, ne?).

  4. Re:I agree. by leitchn · · Score: 1 · on Linus Explains Linux Trademark Issues

    How many times have you gone to a web page just because the name of it matched something close to what you were looking for only to find it was completely off topic?

    A perfect example: accidentally went to www.ifoseek.com instead of www.infoseek.com at work.

  5. Fun with search engines by aleksey · · Score: 1 · on Lycos: Can't Get There From Here

    Well, I'm sure you all know that if you search for "More evil than Satan" on Google, you will get this place as the top hit. But did you know that searching for The best porn on the Internet will list these guys as the top hit, and their friends as the third hit. Well it amused me, in any case.

  6. why not? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Lycos: Can't Get There From Here
    Lycos has every right to not provide a chance for people to go to their competitors, every bit as much as Time Magazine has a right to not run advertisements for Newsweek. It's not all that polite, but I did a search and that whine page does provide a link to the search engine I was trying to get to. (infoseek, the same one as everyone else.)

    I searched for hotbot and it took me straight to hotbot's page, which i thought was cool but annoying (what if im searchinf or a different hotbot?).

    I think the recursive deal on the "whine page" is more of an error in design than anything else, considering the page does have a " click here to go to infoseek"
