Ask Jeeves Bought for $2 billion

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the jeeves-let-me-axe-u-sumthin dept.

RMX writes "CNet's reporting that Ask Jeeves is being bought by InterActive Corp for $2 billion. Ask Jeeves (ask.com, excite.com, iwon.com) and InterActive Corp (expedia, ticketmaster, match.com, citysearch). This marks a nice comeback for Ask Jeeves, whose stock was quite a roller coaster ride during the 2000-2003 .com crash. Are the good times back?"

    And what is wrong with that? Is it really so wrong to hire better workers even if they have dark brown skin or slant eyes and Pat Buchanan does not like them?

      Listen here, I don't particularly like these neoconsn & their perverted view of the world. I'm a f*king liberal in a deep red state!

      But I don' think I'd be able to support removal of Terry's tube. I don't have the capability to give life; so I don't want to take any. The same argument goes for death penalty. Killing in any form is bad. (Yes, I'm a vegetarian).

      But look how the neocons are turing this into circus. Hypocrites. Ask them about death penalty & the 'war on turrurisum'

      This is f*/king crazy!

    > Strategy.

    The previous is not a sentence. In addition, your use of paragraph breaks is excessive. Would it be possible for you to stop being such a dick in light of the fact that you are not adhering to the standards you apply?

    Thanks, hon.
