Yahoo! Switches Search Engines
Giorgio Baresi writes "As several sources are reporting, Yahoo! in the last hours dumped Google and rolled out a brand new search engine mainly based on Inktomi search technology and Overture sponsored results. On Monday Yahoo! also launched its own crawler, called "Yahoo! Slurp", which replaced former "Inktomi Slurp". Hey, it seems the search engine war has begun!"
Four South African schoolgirls accused of raping a 15-year-old deaf boy twice have appeared before magistrates.
The girls from Soweto, who are also 15, were not asked to plead to the charges when they appeared at Protea Magistrate's Court.
Magistrates have released them into the care of their parents.
The boy was walking home from school when he was allegedly approached by the girls on May 10.
He says they dragged him to a deserted area where they removed his clothes and forced themselves on him.
The boy says he did not tell anyone about the incident but after the girls raped him a second time on May 17 he decided to inform authorities.
The girls are due to appear in court again on June 26, the South African Independent Online reports.
I doubt it.

don't tell me I failed it :)
and the ad on this page was sponsored by google (at least thats what i saw) :)
I generally like to let loose with a great big "Yahoo!" whenever I'm slurped.
I remember Yoda saying "Begun, this clone war has." Google pulls up a little more for the "the"-variant. Anyone remember for sure? I'll probably end up skipping through the DVD tonight anyway :)
Does a Star Wars pun really rate that high of a mod?
/. is a bunch of nerds at a million typewriters. It's not a political conspiracy determined to undermine your beliefs.
that's what all this scurrying like rats to be won of the last felonious billyonerrors is about, yes?

consult with/trust in yOUR creators... there's plenty of light, etc..., more than enough to go around forever.
For real. I've been running dealsites.net for a while can hardly get any traffic from the search engines. My site has a lot of content, but for some reason the search bots rarely hit my site. What can I do to fix that? I've got some links to my site, but how else can I get more traffic if I can't get into the search engines? The word-of-mouth doesn't travel too fast!
In any case, I would be entirely unsurprised if I had just poked their firewall. Two of the suggested options for the OS type were, after all, "router" and "broadband router". And I don't really care that I didn't get their webservers... for the same reason that I disagree with the moderation on my post. It should be Funny, not interesting... a slightly padded Beowfulf cluster joke. =b
But we digress: mod me Offtopic, if you care to throw around the modpoints.
