  2. a new way on Google Seeking "Search Without Search" · · Score: 1

    "This is about pre-emptively pushing data at users before they know they need it," Marissa Mayer stated.

    It is about pre-emptively cashing in on users before the bank even knows where the money went. Next step is to automatically charge their credit card for forced integration.

    The new G - We don't help you find what you need, we know what you need and you agree.

    Since I spend a lot of time jumping on step pyramids and being chased by snakes, I was going to bring the same lawsuit against the makers of QBert.

    Don't forget to take on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, or Conan the Barbarian.

    We don't need no caps lock nation. We don't need no caps control. No dark sarcasm in the ChromeOS. Google leave them caps alone.

  10. Re:$1.900.000.000 for a building on Google Buys Manhattan Office/Telecom Hub · · Score: 2

    111 Eighth also has a truck freight elevator, large enough to handle the largest step van . Tons of interconnected fiber throughout, meet-me-rooms every other floor, and just about every huge tele-media provider you can think of (Level 3, TelX, DRT, Deutch), once even Enron had an office back in the day.

  11. not 100% on Google Buys Manhattan Office/Telecom Hub · · Score: 2

    And the deal still left a portion of the ownership in the original investors' hands, so Google only bought about 89% of the building.

    Can I completely opt out of being tracked by the government for associating with known felons (reading slashdot for instance).

  16. Re:WINS - Yes, WINS - Windows Internet Naming Syst on The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting P2P-DNS · · Score: 2

    Even as a hybrid node, WINS is limited to 15 characters (last bit for browser announce) so we'd run out of address space quick. Plus if memory serves (it's been a while), routers will not pass NBT traffic without implicit configuration.

  17. Re:I shop online all the time on Google Faces EU Probe Over Doped Search Results · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're not ranked high because you're not relevant to the users' interest. 'Nuff said.

    And who gets to decide that, the competition or a neutral party?

    Good! Maybe one the shit blows up they can replace the 50 year old hardware that's been causing brownouts in California since the early 80s.

    I thought the cause of brownouts in California were Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dick Cheney?

  20. too late on Who Will Win Control of the Web? · · Score: 1

    It's too late to ask this question. Google beat everyone in this game. Wait 5-10 years if you would like to see a new entity "own" the web.
    Yes I understand no one owns it and I agree, but based on the premise of the article, it's as if Google was in a war against its competitors in traffic control. The new "rivals" lost years ago. They can't suddenly "win". Something new is needed and it will take a long time for that to happen. Period!

  23. Re:AAAND LO!!! on Facebook To Own the Word "Face" · · Score: 1

    What is being stopped here, however, is the specific use of a specific term in a specific instance. You're no longer allowed to create a social networking site using Face-, that's all. Hell, even that's not quite true - there are a number of legal routes to doing so if you wanted including challenging the trademark, Fair Use, concurrent use, geographic protections, different industry, and so on. The system is designed to protect consumers from deliberate confusion, and its a good one for all it's flaws. Sure it could do with a little revision but its equally important that people spend some time and actually understand the system they're slamming...inevitablly its not nearly as illogical, stupid, or flawed as some would have you believe.

    That's all well and good, the problem is that Facebook is already abusing the few patents it owns for unrelated content. They will clearly be a copyright abuser when all is said and done. Windows is an Operating System. The number of Total Operating Systems created since 1980 number in the hundreds. Facebook is claiming rights to "telecommunication" for Face, there have been hundred of thousands, if not more, sites created for the purpose of Bringing Users Together (isn't that ALL the internet does???), and this would be the statistics for this year alone. What is similar? My getting a TM for Slots as "Any type of online game". I can now start abusing poker and roulette sites that even errantly use this term. Currently, over 100,000 domains have the word "Face" in them. Acknowledge that at least 20% of those could be sent a C&D for 20 cents and basically have little recourse except to fail. Fighting a TM costs more than a TM. This is the problem.

  24. awesome until proven useless on US Launches Largest Spy Satellite Ever · · Score: 1

    March 14, 2011: NASA confirmed today that it's launching a new Discovery mission headed for the failed NROL-32. Once hailed as the largest satellite ever, with an unknown purpose, it has since been branded the 'largest scrap in space' with no known usefulness. National Reconnaissance confirmed earlier this week that the NROL wasn't even a spy satellite, instead its purpose was to collect packets from personal wifi networks and save them for future analysis. "We still think this is important work to be done" an spokesperson stated.

  25. way off on Best IT-infrastructure For a Small Company? · · Score: 1

    It's clear you don't know much so here's the easiest thing you can do:

    Buy a NAS device with user authentication
    Get a hosting account for $50 per year from any competitive hosting company
    Buy Dell desktops with Home edition of windows

    You've saved the company lots of money, made administration simple and users have what they asked for. However you've provided no backup, no core infrastructure, no real plan for handling growth. When they are ready to move onto a real network, call an IT Professional.
