The mighty Google has stagnated on its search engine like MS did on IE6 for too long, I'm glad to see some competition, and glad to see Microsoft trying again (as they are with IE8/9 and Windows 7).
I would like you to support your arguments with proof, instead of just saying things like those. And I'm talking about REAL and MEANINGFUL proof. Also, check http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1512316&cid=30780998

Not really, that is a research, I am looking for the real thing. Glasses which point me to the G-Spot right there at that time. Also, I'm very fond of experimentalism....maybe we could have a go at it, let's start with finding it first!
It is true to some degree that a large open-source project cannot be held without a leader. Because the purpose of a leader is not only that of motivating, but also that of guiding the members of the group. If there is no Leader, and I'm talking about a good leader with decent leadership skills (be those whatever you wish), there can be no direction to follow. This leads to:
Excessive group "conformism". That is: people will always be in agreement because they will most likely create internal and implicit leaders, yet being afraid to expose their opinions, even if done unconsciously -- this is common in group development, and it may be surpassed later on.
An elevated degree of entropy, meaning that everyone will have different opinions and will not find a way to work towards a goal together, thus failing to produce any important outcome.
Sure, like I mentioned, there are *implicit* leaders, but without the sense of a hierarchy. But we need hierarchy, to create different types of authority, so that we can moderate our behaviour and even sacrifice ourselves for the well-being of the group as a whole. Sure we can also do that to cover our ass and prevent getting thrown out of a project/job, but that is effectively positive for the group.
Look at most big open-source projects, they rely on a well-defined leader, or set of leaders disposed in a hierarchical way. Heck, dump open-source projects and look at the real world, they fail without proper leadership, because a leader must motivate, direct towards a goal, sort out problems, among other things.
This does not mean that we need this particular leader!
In other news, parents have officially been forbidden to look at their children while they are naked -- yes, that also includes the birth.
That's just ridiculous, and it's part of why the World isn't moving -- stupid punkass idiots with the fear of change trying to find ridiculous arguments. If you want to be against it, prove us that it is wrong with decent things!
In a couple of tenths of years it'll be out, no need to worry...everything's calm...
Shit, why is my nexus one showing me a Funny Screen of Death? Oh, that's just google saying hello.
Hey there!
Slashdot Mirror

It's a precipitated generalization.
Show it only Porn-alike text. Let's see what it learns...
SIX MINUTES? God, are you telling me that I have 3hours36 minutes GMT to live? And you forgot to tell me you insensitive clod!
You sir, depress me. Don't forget to send postcards from IE-land.
Placebo waves.

...to hell with it.
And I was here banging the computers to get them to work faster! Damn /.! Next time, tell me before you eat up another server!
Of course Google knows what it's dong! How on earth would we insist on having ALL of our private data on THEIR cloud?

Now if only there was something like that for the G-Spot. A perfectly overlayed G-Spot. Damn, I'd buy one!

Hah! Suckers!
Mod me down you shall, mod me down...
Hehehehe, just get all the politicians together and see if we get to negative information values!
It was the first thing I noticed as well.
He are not stupid!
Even if that is completely wrong, it is appealing -- I too, as an idiot, have thought about it.
...and I'd be the the fallen madonna with the big boobies.
