Google Releases an API for Their Database
Ben Wills writes "Yahoo! announced that Google Released an API last Thursday.
"The service, launched Thursday, is called Google Web APIs, for application programming interfaces. The tools let noncommercial software developers "query more than 2 billion Web documents directly from their own computer programs," according to Google's Web site. For now, the service is free."
Google just keeps pushing the limits."
Lousy editing, grr :/
Do we need 1000 (repeated) posts about how this is a repeat?
I didn't think so.
Delete this, it doesn't have too many posts.
The same article was posted on Friday.
Glad to see that Slashdot editors read slashdot.
and slashdot announced it friday.

different article about it, but here's Hemos's original post: post.

Best Slashdot Co
Let me try this again... Which is more funny? The fact that this article is a repeat or that everybody points it out repeatedly?

HOWTO: Getting a story posted to the front page
Find interesting article from last week/month/etc.
Find alternate news sources of the same story to avoid using same news link. Submission bin checks links against those previously accepted to avoid duplicates. This step circumvents that filter.
Do a new write up and submit.
If accepted, congrats. Rejected? Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Optional: Laugh at whatever editor accepts your write up.

Hey Taco, since you've been a bit busy this weekend why don't you actually READ your site first and catch up, BEFORE going through the submission bin.
...And slashdot announces that goolge has released an api for thir database not once, but twice.
Way to go, dorks.

Be blunt with her. When you say something that she takes as an insult and starts being whiny and self-conscious, just squarely say 'shut up' or 'stop being stupid' Initially she'll think that you're being a bastard and get upset, but eventually she'll take it as the ultimate 'I am not ridiculing you' and stop being upset. Then when you do insult her deliberately, she'll know that she's really done something wrong.
Phew! That was exciting, and informative - I hope it will be modded as such. Any more questions for Dr. Gazbo's advice column should be posted as a reply to this comment for a speedy response. Kthx!
In a report released today (and last Friday, and the previous Tuesday) researchers claim that the mean time between duplicate posts on Slashdot (http://slashdot.org) has been shrinking.
The scientists say that the average time has dropped from four days, six hours to two days, three hours in just the last two months. "At the rate they are going, the duplicate posts will start appearing before the orginals sometime in early July," said Dr. A. Nahasapeemapetalan, "The relativistic implications are quite disturbing."
The report is based on data from satelite imagery, nanotech spy cameras attached to cockroaches, a Beowulf cluster of Carnivore servers, and murmurs from the guy in the next cubicle looking at faux-Portman pr0n.
If you missed parts of this, don't worry!! This message will be posted again in 1 day, 8.23 hrs.
Light cup, beer drink, thin so chain, neck turtle fat, man I won't say it again
I wonder...If slashdot was using google's search engine API, would Taco have been able to find the previous story already posted about Google releasing their API?
'Nuff said.

I guess it's only fitting to post it twice.
A quick review of the past week indicates that CmdrTaco should read Slashdot more, or at least talk to Hemos once in a while.
Isn't this like the 3rd time this was posted? Not trying to poo poo... just wondering.
Have a Happy.
The Slash programmers should build it in to their 'Post a Story' interface, so when they hit "preview" it will search google to find out if the Subject of the Story has ever been posted to slashdot before.
Yeah my post is ironic given that this story was posted twice, but that just makes it more topical. This is a serious comment and good idea!

The only possible answer to this is that CmdrTaco has been replaced by an alien being intent on distorting our view of space-time! Hence the many recent articles on time travel, Stephen Hawking, black holes, etcetera ad nauseam. They tried to make us believe that nothing is wrong but we know better! Spread the word my fellow bipeds! We will not be conquered!
Redundant? That's a good one. I'll metamod that as +1 Funny.
