Google Programming Contest
AccordionGuy writes: "Google has just announced its first annual programming contest! The objective is to write a program that will do something "interesting" with the about 900,000 Web pages' worth data that's Google provides. In addition to writing the program, contestants also have to convince the judges why their program is interesting (or useful) and why it will scale (that is, handle a constantly increasing load of data that grows as the Web grows). The prize is US$10,000 in cash, a V.I.P. tour of the Google facility in Mountain View, California and possibly a chance to run their program on Google's complete billion-Web-page store."
It will search the web and email all copies of the Goatse picture to my hated foes. I am sure google will like it because I could put thier foes on the list as well. then the world will rue the day!
-THIS SPACE FOR RENT!
How about adding the option to have google understand what I *mean* to search for, not what I tell it to search for.
Oh, and the ability to find one non-fake Britney porn pic.
Don't tell me how to mod, cheesedick.

Today, I'm a boi dyke queer feminist drag-king leatherman womyn-loving-womyn gen derfuck who loves boy bands and talking about menstruation. Ask me tomorrow and this may change. I'm sure there are many more little wooden dolls still left in me, but going on year two I'm not afraid. I know I have the tools and confidence to analyze and appreciate all the desires and confusion I am faced with daily w hile a part of the rich cultural community in and surrounding NYU. My location a nd population may have changed drastically, but I know when it all comes down, I 've still got my roots.
It would never win but since we don't seem to have enough porn out there. It would be funny to write a program that would return pornographic images relating to whatever you searched for. You type in Ballmer and you get an image of Steve Ballmer blowing a donkey. Or for you microsoft loving people you type in Jobs and you get him with an apple in his backend. Of course no bad images of Linus. Though him in a compromising position with a penguin might be funny.
If your not cheating your not trying. If your not trying your not winning and if your not winning why play?
Sad. Very sad.
What's next? Britney's tits on the homepage -a la Yahoo- ?
Sad indeed.
I've read somewhere that by 2007, 1 billion websites will be in Chinese! I'm sure somebody can do something about it before it's too LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
