Google is still using the PageRank algorithm: pages with lots of links to them are more popular than pages with few links to them, and get ranked higher in search results. Your prior search history is irrelevant.
You're talking out of your ass. The Google itself has admitted that they use personal data while ranking the results.
Sopssa, you're making a lot of sense. It's interesting that you're modded down as troll while the parent gets a 5, informative. It looks like criticizing the Google is not done of slashdot. That's kinda scary as the Google handles 85% of the world's search queries, effectively controlling what we know and what we consider to be the truth.
Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? If you agree, I will set up a Windows Server 2008 machine with default settings and give you the IP address. You have 24 hours to compromise the machine. If you succeed, I give you 1000 USD. If you don't, you give me 1000 USD. If you do not accept this challenge, I can only conclude that you're full of shit.
I just read this: "Now when you look at Microsoft today they do more to secure their software than anyone. They're the model for how to do it. They're not perfect; there's room for improvement. But they are definitely doing more than anybody else in the industry, I would say." [ http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20002317-245.html?tag=rtcol;inTheNewsNow ] I think most people in the know would agree with him.
The people are more complex. The code is more complex. We have stuff getting in now that we would have run away from 10 years ago.
This is one obvious reason why it's harder for juniors to step in now compared to ten years ago. I wonder, is this complexity necessary? Isn't some refactoring or redesign in order?
You should try out this new Google search thing. I found the solution to your problem in less than 20 seconds. Makes me wonder what kind of a developer you are, especially considering that the missing menu entry annoys you daily.
You don't understand the mind of SmallFurryCreature. He does not need a reality distortion field like Steve Jobs has. SmallFurryCreature comes with one pre-installed. No reality can enter his world.
To him, Bill Gates is very much at the helm of Microsoft. Windows XP is Microsoft's current OS and IE 6 is their current browser. The Zune HD has not been conceived yet. Still, because of the warped nature of his reality distortion field, Windows Phone 7 has been out for a while already and he's very much familiar with its weaknesses.
Google is tying its search to AdWords. All ads that I see on the results page are served by Google. Google does not give me the option to choose another ad provider.
Jeremy, I hope that I'm not too OT here, but what's your stance on Google's software patents? I hear that they have patented MapReduce, which is basically just an algorithm. Don't you find that scary, that these large, powerful companies are patenting algorithms?
Taking into account the large proportion of posters putting the blame on the user and the fact that the/. mindset is much aligned with the Linux crowd mindset, I proudly declare 2010, 2011 and 2012 as Not the Year of Linux on the Desktop.

Oh no! The evil troll quoted a security researcher! Quick, mod him down!

Lookup Error is gone.. annoys me daily.

I'm glad to hear that you got your free drugs. Enjoy.
Are you sure you didn't get your free drugs?

Amazing.

That could indeed get them off the hook. I'm not sure about the 'Google-certified' part though.
FYI, everybody in the EU got the ballot through Windows Update, not just people who installed a new copy on Windows.

You, Anonymous Coward, are now officially banned from the Slashdot forum.
You mean 'objectively worse', no?
Amen.

I have no rational explanation
Yes, there is much you don't understand.
What's Windows XP?
6. Level 6 is a drop-down box.

In the typical Facebook and IM experience, keyboards and cameras play an important role. Both are missing from the iPad.
LOL Obviously, you're not a business planner.
+ 5, psychedelic for using enormously complex system and huge security benefits in the same sentence.
