But Majestic 12 sucks. Mozdex, on the other hand, which is buiilt on open source technology. It's not the best search engine out there, but it's about a billion times better than Majestic 12.
Douglas Engelbart, the true father of desktop computing. At a time when computers were used merely for data processes, he envisioned they could be used in the everyday life.
Erlang-style concurrency: This is a ton of little threads that communicate solely through message passing, no shared state. On the plus side, it's got a working implementation that you can use today. On the down side (and this is my personal opinion), I'm not sure you really need the "functional" part of Erlang to use it (I think you just need threads that share nothing, and if you did that in a more conventional OO language it'd be fine), and Erlang's still quite short on libraries for anything outside of its core competency of network programming.
Actually, it's CSP-syle concurrency, and Limbo does it without functional programming. Limbo thankfully isn't object-oriented, however.
Besides this, is there a solution to this in the form of new programming languages?
Erlang and Limbo have concurrency primitives built-in. Both used CSP as a launching point. Both give the programming easy-to-use, lightweight processes and message passing. Processes share nothing.
However, neither have built-in support for multiple cores or multiple CPUs at the moment. It's just not a priority for the teams behind them. You can cheat such a setup with Erlang, however, as you can spawn processes on remote machines or remote Erlang instances. If you had two Erlang instances on the same machine, each would run on its own core, so all you'd need to do was spawn a process on each and then message pass between the two.
As is tradition when the Government increases their spying efforts, it's time to listen to The Conet Project and then watch Enemy of the State while wearing a tin foil hat and eating a bucket of fried chicken.
Big media isn't shoving anything down anyones throat: You're willingly wolfing it down, just like with YouTube. Only big media makes an attempt to produce quality (and usually cancels it due to poor ratings).
Do you lock your doors at night? Because I can zip through that lock in 2 seconds, and if I can't, you have some mighty nice windows. Therefore, what's the point? In fact, might as well remove the door altogether.
Google bombs weren't a priority at Google precisely because the abuse was mostly done with irrelevant phrases like "miserable failure". You only search for those when you hear about Google bombs for the first time.
Googlebombs show an inherent flaw in the ranking algorithms of Google.
As for rethinking, they're doing this all the time at Google. They're constantly updating their ranking algorithms.
Tweaking and tuning existing algorithms is not rethinking the problem.
Searching for "miserable failure" now brings up a million pages talking about the Googlebomb, "miserable failure". Is that much better?
The whole reason PageRank was create was because the exsiting technologies at the time, namely keywords and before that meta tags, were being abused like hell. Now PageRank is being abused left and right. It's time to take a step back and rethink.
If they could eliminate it entirely, that would be when you would see a more mainstream adoption of FOSS.... That makes NO sense. If FOSS applications were equal to that of the closed source realm, people would be using them regardless of whether piracy was possible.

Do you think anyone majoring in architecture has designed a building?

Not to mention that they, in essence, put advertisements on borrowed content.
They didn't cause a bomb scare.
Now that I got your attention...
And if that fails, take some hostages. Bound to get you some coverage.
Burn a huge pile of real money and put the video up on Revver. Bound to make more money than cutting the PS3 price.
Most of Googles stuff comes from internal use. Googlers, like most people in the world, probably don't use personalized portals.
I do not understand how your corporate leadership sleeps at night.

The companies protested that they had no choice but to comply with local Chinese laws, but that they were troubled by their own actions
Until they got the check and the good PR.
And is GOFA a good law?
No it's not. Such a law won't stop anything from happen, it'll merely move it out of the hands of US companies. I don't think that's a good thing.

Concurrency is easy.
My point was that most desktop applications gain little from multithreading.
Besides this, is there a solution to this in the form of new programming languages?

Currently I have VLC, Opera, a bunch of Notepads, and Visual Studio open. None of these would benefit all too greatly from concurrency.

Step 1: Upload bad/stupid/dumb/etc video
Step 2: Con people into viewing it
Step 3: Profit!
This is just asking for trouble.

Thanks to Windows, they are unknowingly born every clock cycle. And so goes the easy-of-use vs. security tango.
The government is also appealing to the scientific community for help in creating another innovative military technology: artificial 'black ice'.
The name is Joe. G.I. Joe.
