I read Slashdot everyday and wade through the sometimes interesting, sometimes boring, sometimes funny stories and posts. I come back because every once in a while a story makes me REALLY stop and think and broadens my thought process. The article by MIT Prof, Alan Natapof is one of those. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and keep up the good work!

I've actually used (written code) for the AV search engine.. it is in fact very easy to use. I don't think they care about "open source" in the development of the search engine. I suspect that they are more interested in 1) getting developers to create and fix interfaces in other than C and VB (the only official supported languages) and 2) getting a "serach by AltaVista" logo out on as many sites as possible.
