Yahoo! Launches Pay-Per-Search

vasah20 writes: "ZDNet.com has this article saying that Yahoo is starting a pay-per-search service for 'premium documents,' in attempt to offset some of its revenue losses. Maybe it's just me, but if people can already find the most relevant results on Google, what are the chances anyone's gonna use this service?"

      For all those who dis the /.

      Whenever something really good comes along, there will always be detractors. Those who focus on the negatives and gripe incessantly. I say to you: Get a real cause. /. has done nothing but make available to you a great service. Even if it's editors have done a 180 and unfairly modded or deleted your posts, what's the BFD? You are just jealous.

    NEWSFLASH: Archaeologists in Iran claim to have discovered the first ever "first post" created by man.

  6. how to be a nigger by The+BOFH+Troll · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    - Slink around, shuffling your feet and bobbing your neck like the lazy retard
    you are.
    - Walk down the middle of the street because you don't know what a sidewalk is
    for.
    - Hang out at carwashes and mini-marts because everybody knows these are the
    best places to be a dope, I mean dope.
    - If you're a nigger bitch, shit three nigger babies into the world before 17
    years of age. This assures that welfare money will support you, so your
    nigger men have more time to commit crimes. Oh yes, make sure each nigger
    baby has a different father.
    - Bastardize the English language in the name of nigger culture. Make sure
    that several terms have multiple meanings and others have ambiguous meanings
    and that only 50% of nigger words are even complete words. Real niggers will
    know what you're trying to say.
    - As a culture, make sure there are always more bucks in prison than in
    college at any given time.
    - Hang out in packs of 10 to 15 and make sure everyone acts as annoying as
    possible. This helps to promote nigger individuality.
    - Always talk loud enough so everyone in the 'hood' can fucking hear you, and
    if they are niggers, they will know what your saying, bro.
    - Wear clothes that are 10 sizes too big, making sure the pants hang off your
    ass. Also huge pants facilitate stealing (let me translate that: "it be
    easier to lift dat 'box at the Kmart, homes"). If you have to hold them up
    while you walk, it only looks badder.
    - Park at least 5 junk cars in your yard while being careful not to use the
    driveway. It's OK to abandon them in the street as long as it's in front of
    someone else's crib.
    - Exaggerate every motion, every tonal inflection and grab your dick a lot.
    Have red carpet, blue walls, brass and overstuffed furnishings (all rented),
    purple bathrooms and keep all windows covered so that no light can enter and
    no cops can see in while you...
    - Do drugs, sell drugs, make drugs.
    - Turn your backyard into a junk yard. If you don't have a backyard, turn
    your mother's into a junk yard. Eliminate every blade of grass.
    - Travel around leaching off relatives, friends, salvation armies. Abandon
    your children with them also.
    - Smack your kids and yell at them a lot. Make them feel less than human and
    that they have no future, which they don't because they're niggers like you.
    - Drink cheap wine and malt liquor every day, forgetting that "malt liquor" is
    just fortified cheap beer.
    - If you're a nigger buck: fuck anything that moves, no matter how ugly she is.
    After two eight-balls, even the ugliest, fattest nigger bitch will look good.
    - Be charitable and covet fat, ugly white chicks. After all, they're niggers
    too. They can't help being so undesirable to white men that they have to
    fraternize with black dudes on a 20/20 trip. And white ho's are a special
    trophy too, especially the not so ugly ones.
    - Spray paint everything in sight with scribbles that mean nothing to White
    people but mean things to fellow niggers (except niggers from another hood
    who will probably try to kill you for tresspassing on their turf)
    - Use the term "motherfucker" in every sentence. It's one of the most
    versatile words in the nigger language, being a noun, verb, adjective and
    complete mini-sentence in event you run out of thoughts.
    - Stop in the middle of the street, blocking all traffic to converse with
    fellow niggers and have complete disregard for everyone else.
    - Delay everybody at the checkouts while you and 3 other dudes fumble around
    for the $1.42 for the bottle of Magnum.
    - Clog isles at Kmart with strollers, bastard kids and your fat selves. If
    you're a cashier, never look at or be cordial to a customer and always talk
    to other niggers while you ring up the customer.
    - Overcharge customers at Taco Bell and pocket the difference.
    - Drive your car while slouched so low that you can barely see over the wheel
    (gangsta drivin').
    - Get a job under affirmative action. Then sit around all day pretending that
    you earned the position and that the other co-workers respect you. Whenever
    you fuck up, scream "racism!" & hope you get enough Generation X liberals
    in the jury.
    - Never, I mean NEVER, take any responsibility for your actions. Always blame
    others including Asians, Latinos, Mexicans, and especially Whites for your
    sorry ass stupid lives.
    - Advertise your "nation" (gang) with a bewildering array of colors that mean
    nothing to any one but other nig's. Oh yes, if another nig violates your
    "nation" i.e. garbage strewn empty lots and burned out tenements, shoot
    their ass.
    - Look for identity in murderous criminal gangs when you can't find it in
    broken nigger homes because your mother was a 15 year old cokewhore and your
    father is in jail doing 5 to 15 for pistol whipping a mini-mart cashier.
    - Be all concerned with east/west connections, cellular phones, beepers, drive
    by's and other trivial bullshit that Whites will never understand anything
    about (what's to understand?)
    - Lament ghetto gang life while at the same time...
    - Listen to rap "music", which glorifies "gangsta" life, crime, drugs, murder,
    early death, oppression of women. Rip off other legit music to fabricate rap
    music which probably takes an engineering degree to "write" (because of the
    technical know-how to operate the machines) while not requiring any music
    talent at all. Then get some young criminal scum to perform it, after
    changing his name to something stupid like Snoopy Dog. Spell the name of the
    group with phonetics and use a number in it because nig's really like that.
    At least rap is an opportunity, e.g. for young black criminals to further
    their criminal careers. Rap needs only four things to be successful:
    a producer, a promoter, a front-man flunky, and MTV to shove it down our
    throats. Be sure to say absolutely nothing important during the 5 pages of
    dialogue in a given rap joint other than "look at how much of a nigger I can
    be." Then roll a joint in the joint and think about the joint while stylin'
    to the joint.
    - Show other lame-ass races the black race is unique by having a
    culture/lifestyle that results in diseases/poverty/birth rates for blacks
    consistently rising while it falls for the others.
    - Fear and loathing of dogs is set in the genes for nig's. Of course bigotry
    against blacks is set into the genes of dogs. So be sure to get a dog, tie
    it up in the cold and mud and neglect it until it dies. Then start all over
    again.
    - Always have ten excuses involving hospitals for why you can't pay your
    bill. When or if you finally settle up, pull out a big wad of bills out of
    the welfare check to do it. Cash must be used because you long ago fucked
    up your credit and checking account.
    - Cram 5 generations into a two room government apartment and still be able to
    neglect your kids.
    - Die young. The #1 cause of death for nigger males between 15 and 30 is
    murder.
