Typing things in correctly apparently is harder. Why should I play on hard-mode because I know how to search correctly?
You can't argue that google wants to limit 'bad' searches -- the search-while-you-type feature obliterates that argument. They don't care about the number of searches you do, and seemingly less and less about the quality.
If TIPC can be routed. I figured out my answer, it's more of a general example of the dumbification of search..
I know you can do +TIPC to force it not to look for TIPS or TCP.. It's more of a general criticism that google more and more is catering to sheeple without making it easy to not be a sheeple.
Every time I search for something these days I get some ridiculous set of non-results due to the fuzzy matching. I search for "TIPC layer3" google nicely finds me results about TCP Layer3 because google thinks I must have typo'd something. This happens constantly with one or two letter off searches where the search results I get are adjusted because the alternative ranks higher.
Google's search is not getting better, it's getting more and more 'Clippy' every year.
aircraft in the 1930's.......also seems like it didn't end well for some of them.
I hate to put on the Internet Professor hat, but.. Hindenberg wasn't propelled by hydrogen, it was used for it's lighter than air qualities and was propelled by diesel engines.
The problems it had were probably a combination of multiple elements of its construction, not just the hydrogen. Kinda different situations.
I get that you're trying to make a joke but.. funny things are based in truth, hilarious things are true.
sudo has a pretty good manpage, you should check it out as this exact situation is covered.
noexec
If set, all commands run via sudo will behave as if the NOEXEC tag has been set, unless overridden by a EXEC tag. See the description of NOEXEC and EXEC below as well as the " PREVENTING SHELL ESCAPES " section at the end of this manual. This flag is off by default.
This can only be the precursor to the wikileaks post where they blow the lid off the GNU world by releasing a torrent of source code! Run for the hills!
The idea of building a custom browser for utilizing websites doesn't really fit into the web.
The future of web clients is the ability to use APIs from custom javascript.. Don't build custom UIs around these services as a 'browser'.
If the service you provide doesn't offer an API?.. well. Good luck with that. Someday someone will and people will fondly recall your service as that thing people used to use.
Kind of a FUD response. The alternative of not being able to fork is that we would be at the mercy of whoever's software we're running. In this case Oracle, and for lack of an alternative office suite, Microsoft.
While it's an inconvenient reality that anyone can do whatever they want with a fork, cream does rise to the top. If you feel strongly about it, donate some money to the organization or your time.
Simply sitting on the sidelines complaining about what you'd do differently or better or really -- what you think everyone else does wrong.. Thats a luxury you have because of open source.
Without open source you'd simply be complaining about Microsoft not doing what you want.
Take any person you consider 'brilliant' and do a bit of digging on what makes them brilliant. You'll probably find they have a wide breadth of knowledge outside their focus area. The other thing you'll find is that by absorbing new ideas that you get new perspective on your old ideas by being able to make connections between seemingly disparate concepts or see patterns in your old ideas by seeing them through a new lense.
So, while you see this as 'money wasted on crap', I think it's a good idea. Take people out of their element, stimulate their minds with new ideas. There's no harm that can come from this, only benefit.
The argument that money is wasted on art or music education always strikes me as myopic.
Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.
The reason nobody should buy a social networking website is that the barrier for entry is a college kid who knows PHP -- and thats only if you want to be 'as good' as the competition.
You can buy a social networking site, but when the next big thing comes along and all the users you bought jump ship don't say I didn't warn you.
Rupert Murdoch spent $580m on myspace, how good is that working out for him?

Scorched earth search results!
Yep. I know. I wrote some javascript that automatically puts a plus sign in front of every word in non-quoted searches I do.
Too bad they don't have a real API.

You bring up other great points.. Spam copies are maddening.
There needs to be a 'never show me results from this domain' button to blacklist this garbage and keep people from gaming the system.

I concur, Sandra Bullocks!!

No.
It just says that the information is out there, not that their client is responsible.
I hope his attorney has insurance against injuries sustained from excessive eye-rolling.
mod parent up.
I hadn't even thought of this connection but I think you nailed it.

I think that every time I buy organic vegetables!
I imagine old people will enjoy 3 weeks of battery standby time and not being pestered by SMS spam.
Is the nanobot 'grey goo' earth going to be usurped by the bacteria concrete earth?
Honestly I think there's more interest in games for the Amiga than any incarnation on any platform of Crazy Taxi.
Nice try though!
