I've tried the others on that list. Google is still the best.

I just heard sad news on talk radio - Horror/Fiction writer Stephen King was dound dead in his Maine home this morning. No more details were available. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his books you probably enjoyed one of his movies. Truly an Amercian icon.

Yes, especially if you're looking for pr0n. You will certainly get 500+ replies.
You are the best number 2 poster I've ever seen.
then
adv.
At that time: I was still in school then. Come at noon; I'll be ready then. Next in time, space, or order; immediately afterward: watched the late movie and then went to bed.
In addition; moreover; besides: It costs $20, and then there's the sales tax to pay.
Used after but to qualify or balance a preceding statement: The star was nervous, but then who isn't on the first night of a new play.
In that case; accordingly: If traffic is heavy, then allow extra time.
As a consequence; therefore: The case, then, is closed.
n. That time or moment: The bus leaves at four; until then let's walk.
adj. Being so at that time: the then chairman of the board.
than
conj.
Used after a comparative adjective or adverb to introduce the second element or clause of an unequal comparison: She is a better athlete than I.
Used to introduce the second element after certain words indicating difference: He draws quite differently than she does.
When. Used especially after hardly and scarcely: I had scarcely walked in the door than the commotion started.
WHICH PART OF THE DEFINITION DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? ONCE MORE I SEE THIS SPELLING ERROR ON SLASHDOT I'M GONNA GO FUCKING NUTS!!!!
Your pizza just the way you ought to have it.
What we really want to know is whether these search engines run Apache on Linux?
Are they Beowulf clusters? Do they filter out petrified Natalie Portman and hot grits?
Do they index slashdot properly?
Is the pr0n all indexed?
These are important questions which must be seriously answered before changing search engines.
It's "than" NOT "then" - this is about the fortieth time I've read this grammatical mistake on /. this week. Did *everyone* here sleep through English class?

The 24hr posting ban happened to me once when I posted too many AC Offtopic posts like this one...
I'm getting good at this
A man and his dog walk into a bar for a drink. The bartender sees the two and immediately decries, "Sorry sir, no dogs allowed in this bar."
The man turns to the bartender and explains that this is no ordinary dog but a dog that likes to go down on women. The bartender notices the dog is quite mellow and doesn't feel like arguing with the man so he lets them stay. The waitress hears this and approaches the man telling him she would like to see this for herself. He agrees and she says, "I'll go upstairs and you send up the dog in 5 minutes."
The man does and about 15 minutes later she comes back down angry, telling him the dog had just lain there doing nothing. The man replies that this has never been the case before, and offers to coach the dog, to which she agrees. They both go upstairs and she undresses and he tells the dog to do his thing and once again, the dog just lays there. The man looks over at the dog and says,
"alright but I'm only gonna show you one more time.........."
I'm wondering if when you get to automatically post at -1 if you can be further moderated down to -2. If not, do you ever fall victim to Slashdot's misguided policy of suspending postings from IPs that have been moderated down too often.
