Gentoo 1.4 Final Released

markds writes "After a long wait, the Gentoo team has finally released the latest version of their distribution. Gentoo Linux 1.4 is now available. 1.4 includes automated kernel builds, CFLAGS generation, the Gentoo Reference Platform, and support for netless installation." And Beost writes "It looks like our favorite disto gentoo has released two of the new v1.4 LiveCDs. Enjoy!" Reader Luke-Jr points to the list of official mirrors and "unofficial (though created by developers) BitTorrents." (Of course, you can also buy CD sets for a variety of architectures from the Gentoo store.)

    It is official; Netcraft confirms: Google is dying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Google community when IDC confirmed that Google market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all web searches. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Google has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Google is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by Yahoo's failure to renew its exclusive deal with Google.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Google's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Google faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Google because Google is dying. Things are looking very bad for Google. As many of us are already aware, Google continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    Google search is the most endangered of them all, having lost most of its core affiliates. The sudden and unpleasant departures of Yahoo and AOL only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Google is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    Google.com founder Sergey Brin states that there are 7000 users of Google. How many users of Verity are there? Let's see. The number of Google versus Verity posts on USENET is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 Verity users. AskJeeves posts on USENET are about half of the volume of Verity posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Inktomi. A recent article put Teoma at about 80 percent of the search engine market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 Google users. This is consistent with the number of Google USENET posts.

    Due to the troubles of Google News, abysmal sales and so on, Google is going out of business and will probably be taken over by idealab! who operate another troubled search engine. Now Inktomi is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that Google has steadily declined in market share. Google is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Google is to survive at all it will be among search engine dilettante dabblers. Google continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical p

  8. The death of linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why bother with IP infringing Linux?

    As the US government continues it's violent surge to the extreme right, no court will take the side of freedom when there is a buck to be made (by the people who already have the bucks) or a freedom to be destroyed (among the few remaining freedoms the lower classes still have).

    Any Judge attempting to reestablish the concept of fair use will be ostracized by the political hierarchy. It would be the death of their career.

    I have news for all you Linux people--Clinton is gone. The bums lost. I'd tell you to get a job, but since you refuse to conform and bow to your master you are useless as a slave and therefore have no value to the corporate oligarchy.

    You will die lonely and afraid. Your females, your sisters and daughters (assuming you had even one), will be made whores, once they have aged to the point when they are no longer desirable to us. We will sell them to immigrants and foreign powers, they will bear illegitimate bastard children and we will control them, too. We will take great satisfaction in this.

    No more government handouts...Darwin was right, the strong dominate the weak and become stronger in the process. This is not a theory to us, it is a moral imperative, our mantra, that we dominate and control you. It is the path of history, it is your fate.

    Microsoft is going to be on your computer and you will pay for and install the upgrades we demand, or you can live in the wilderness with the other beasts. Should that be your choice, our controllers and catchers will hunt you down and render great justice upon you.

    We will make you disappear, your ideals and beliefs relegated to the smallest footnote over time, eventually to disappear, while the glory of unhindered wealth, power and strength will shine as a beacon long into the future.

    Accept this and die your well-deserved death, linux fools. Everything you have will be taken to make us more powerful...it is our way and your destiny.
