The Man Who (Really) Makes Google Tick
An anonymous reader writes "Like his friends Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Craig Silverstein abandoned his PhD studies at Stanford to become employee No.1 and technology director at Google. While building the search engine in a garage, never in his wildest dreams did he think Google would become what it is today. Not only is it the envy of software giant Microsoft, Google continues to redefine the technology market with its creativity and tenacity. In this in-depth interview, Silverstein discusses a wide range of issues including the backlash against Gmail among privacy advocates, the company's cultural changes and its shifting reliance on PageRank."
No, there isn't the RKBA in NZ. Yet. We members of the Libertarianz party are trying to rectify that :-)

And yes, of course, Google have the right to run whatever ads they choose. I said boycott, not legislate
I guess the Iraqis killing US servicepeople are doing so with water pistols? :-P
Also, firearms are still useful for self-defense, in fact, they're better than anything else, *especially* if you're a woman defending herself against stranger rape.

No, Rocket Propelled Grenades are much more effective. But seriously, have a look at the comparative death tolls between the Coalition and Iraqis, ~600 vs ~11,000. I think the trigger happy US are more deadly with or without their guns.

So you wouldn't use a gun if someone you knew was raping you?
If I point out that you are incorrect, making me a foe does not make you any more correct.
I mean that guns are less effective against rape by people known to the victims, as there's less opportunity to use them.
E.g. most wives don't keep their husbands at gunpoint while in bed together, but that doesn't mean they don't get raped while in bed with the rapist.
When the fall of "American" society falls, who do you think we'll be defending ourselves against?
.sig does not own a gun... be afraid
Another country or our own countrymen?

I'm far more worried about the divorse lawyer or the ex-employee with an axe to grind then I am about the Government.
I've been seeing this a lot lately, and can't understand why people screw it up so badly.
"Then" refers to a point in time. "Than" is used as a comparison. The sentance should read "I'm far more worried about the divorce lawyer or the ex-employee with an axe to grind than I am about the Government." Yes, yes, typos happen, but this happens so often that I think people honestly think they're saying "then" when they're saying "than".
