No. Google provides its search engine to Yahoo. Yahoo is a client of Google.
I do not understand all this sell-out talk. People who complain about inaccurate results can't seem to separate the (clearly indicated) sponsored links (i.e. ads) from the search results.
Try to open an article from the FAQ (left menu on main page). It'll show the FAQ overview, but will refuse to show the single FAQ article that is currently there, with that lame rejection message.
What's more, the following bit of Javascript code now seems to be added to the head of the rejection page:

Hmmm. Cute.
(BTW, Slashdot seems to insert two spaces into that code for some reason.)

En Français:
On ne donne aucune indication dont les calculs pour la densité d'enregistrement de données la fiole minuscule décrite pourraient tenir cela beaucoup
Auf Deutsch:
Keine Anzeige wird gegeben, von der Berechnungen für Datendichte die kleine Phiole, die dargestellt wurde, können würden, das viel anzuhalten
In italiano:
Nessun' indicazione è data di cui le calcolazioni per densità di dati la fiala molto piccola descritta potrebbero tenere quello molto
Em Português:
Nenhuma indicação é dada de que os cálculos para a densidade de dados o vial minúsculo retratado poderiam prender muito isso
En Español:
No se da ninguna indicación de la cual los cálculos para la densidad de datos el frasco minúsculo representado podrían sostener eso mucho
Why not just give the average of all these, it saves work and even more people will understand it.

With the democritization of the music business as you propose, where anybody regardless of talent or skills, can produce, record, and distribute music, the market is going to be so ridiculously saturated with just absolute crap. In some cases barriers to entry are good! As a consumer, how am I supposed to find the best music when I need to wade through five hundred files of old men singing in the shower to find one good track? Even in the current system, with scarcity I am overwhelmed - there are tens of thousands of CD's produced each year that I would like to buy, but only have money and time for a couple of hundred. When anybody can produce music, and when, moreoever, there is no distinction between amateur and professional music, it will be impossible to locate the best music.
Let's see... nowadays, anybody can produce software, and moreover, in the Free Software movement, there is no distinction between amateur and professional software. Does this mean that it is impossible to locate the best software? Just how is music different from software with this respect?
Maybe what the music industry needs is a distribution system modeled after the GNU Public License.
I would like to expand on what you said about Interlingua since I believe this is underrepresented here.
Io volerea expander sur lo que tu diceva super Interlingua proque io trova que isto es hic subrepresentate.
Interlingua is a neutral, constructed, but naturalistic language that most anyone could understand, at least passively, without having to learn it first. A grassroots, clean alternative to the sluggish and bloated monopolist English, not controlled by any government, company or other entity, upon which anyone can freely extend and build, as long as you keep to a certain set of openly published, scientifically established guidelines -- a kind of Linux of the human languages?
Interlingua es un lingua neutral, construite, ma naturalistic que quasi tote le mundo poterea comprender, al minus passivemente, sine deber apprender lo primarimente. Un fresc alternativo grassroots a le monopolista anglese phlegmatic e inflate, non controllate per alcun governamento, compania o altere entitate, sur le qual alcuno pote liberemente extender e construar, a condition que on respecte un certe collection de regulas scientificamente establite -- un sorta de Linux del linguas human?
Interlingua has been in use for decades (for real, not as a hobby). And it's not just because of it's name that it is the ideal auxiliary language for the Internet age; its major advantage is its instant usability even outside the Interlingua community.
Interlingua ha essite usate pro decennios (realmente, non como un hobby). E il es non solmente le nomine que rende lo le lingua auxiliari ideal pro le era del Internet; su avantage major es su usabilitate instante anque exterior del communitate de interlingua.
For 27 years (from 1924 to 1951), a team of linguists worked on the cool concept that an interlational language already exists, hidden in all the world's national languages: the language of scientific and technical international words, mostly of Latin and Greek origin. They extracted this language methodologically out of seven major source languages sharing most of this international vocabulary. Then they made a minimalist grammatical framework around it (no gender, no verb inflections, almost no irregularities, etc), et voila: a constructed, but natural language, easy to learn, that's immediately usable almost all over the world (even on computers: its character set is plain ASCII).
Durante 27 annos (ab 1924 de 1951), un equipa de linguistas laborava sur le concepto superbe que un lingua international jam existe, latente i omne le linguas national del mundo: le lingua del parolas scientific e technic international, principalmente de origine latin e grec. Illes extraheva methodologicamente iste lingua ex septe major linguas fonte possedente in commun le major parte de iste vocabulario international. Tunc illes faceva un structura grammatical minimilista circa lo (nulle genere, nulle inflectiones de verbos, quasi nulle irregularitates, etc). Le resultato: ecce un lingua construite ma natural, facile a apprender, que es immediatemente usabile quasi in toto le mundo (mesmo sur computatores: su serie de characteres es simple ASCII).
The team, called IALA (International Auxiliary Language Association) decided that the source languages for Interlingua would be English, French, Spanish/Portuguese (taken as one), Italian, German, and Russian. Roughly said, if a given word appears in some form in at least three of these languages, it is automatically an Interlingua word, whether it appears in any dictionary or not - all that needs to be determined is its 'prototype', an average version of the word without the peculiarities of the national languages. This linguistic methodology makes any governing body obsolete.
Le equippa, appellate IALA (Association de Linguas Auxiliari International) decideva que le linguas fonte pro interlingua esserea anglese, francese, espaniol/portugese (prendite como un), italian, german, e russian. Approximatemente, si un parola date appare in alcun forma in al minus tres de iste linguas, illo es automaticamente un parola interlingua, esque illo appare i alcun dictionario o non - toto que debe esser determinate es su 'prototypo', un version medie del parola sin le peculiaritates del linguas national. Iste metodologia linguistic rende obsolete alcun corpore governante.
Interlingua is the ultimate human open source language. If you discover a new word that appears in at least three of the source languages, then all you have to do is determine the prototype and you have a new Interlingua word. This way, many English words, especially Internet-related terms, have made its way into Interlingua since it was published in 1951. In addition, there is also its innate ability to build new words out of existing ones.
Interlingua es le ultimate human lingua de fonte libere. Si vos discoperi un nove parola que appare in al minus tres del linguas fonte, allora toto vos debe facer es determinar le prototypo e vos ha un nove parola interlingua. Via iste methodo, multe parolas anglese, specialmente termines de Internet, ha arrivate in interlingua post que illo era publicate in 1951. In addition, illo ha anque un capacitate innate de construir nove parolas de parolas existente.

> a) Google offers a *free* search engine with no banners.
They do, however, provide ads in various other ways that are far more effective and more appreciated than banners.
> b) Due to their 'no banners' policy, Google does not have a way to generate revenue and struggles to stay financially afloat.
Incorrect.
> c) Google strikes a financially lucrative deal to provide Yahoo with targeted search results.
More power to them.
> d) As a result of Yahoo being Google's primary income generator,
Incorrect.
> they have a large degree of input in the day to day operation of Google.
So, just because Yahoo is a client of Google means that Yahoo influences Google's operation? I find that view a tad cynical.
> e) As a result, Google is now seemingly more interested in lining their pockets than they are in providing a quality search engine.
Learn to separate the sponsored links (ads) from the search results. The indication is clear enough.
> Does Yahoo 0wn Google now?
No. Google provides its search engine to Yahoo. Yahoo is a client of Google.

In Interlingua, traduction libere e plus clar:
Nulle indication es date del calculationes pro le densitate de datos [determinante] quanto le phiala minuscule hic picturate poterea tener.

IPNetRouter can do this (actually it uses Open Transport to do it, OT just does not have a user interface to enable it).
