Agree, but they should be careful doing so. It is the quality of their search engine which made them what they are today. Rigging results could be a slippery slope for them. Today it may just be their services. Then their partners. Then their partners' partners. Then they start black-listing their partners' competitors etc. How much rigging will people put up with?
Google has zero clue how to design much of anything. Failure after failure shows this.
You must have a seriously impressive resume to legitimately claim that.
Not sure what your link is meant to say. There is no personal identification info in the IFA system, and it can be turned off if you particularly object to customised advertisements. You will still get advertisements, but now they'll be random.
To be fair, they point to different articles which happen to be on the same subject. The first was all about the jump and links so we could watch it, the second is all about the tech behind the jump. Personally I liked both posts. But if I hadn't liked the second post it would only have taken up a few seconds of my day to figure it out.
You are absolutely correct. Ten years ago I was forced to deal with them on behalf a government agency I worked for. Getting anything useful out of them requires $$$$$$$$$ and more $$$$$$$$$. $90,000 for a single membership to be precise. Or $150,000 for a premium membership. Like most people who get promoted out of tech roles into management, the people I worked for couldn't hand over the cash quick enough for the chance to hear wild and mostly unfounded predictions about the future of IT. It never ceases to amaze me that Gartner have survived this long.
Since your clicking finger may be broken, here is a relevant section of the article to help you out:
To find the ice, a rover thus must operate as close to the dark poles as possible, but not so far that it can't use solar arrays for power, Whittaker said. Polaris thus has three large solar arrays, arranged vertically to capture light from low on the horizon. The solar arrays will be capable of an average of 250 watts of electrical power.
Funny how they did actually consider this before designing a multi-million dollar robot. It looks like maybe they did complete Physics 101.
What a bunch of bullshit. You hear about one artist with that kind of money and make a gross generalisation to support your desire to pirate stuff. Most artists don't have squat let alone enough to fund a trip to the ISS. Pathetic flamebait argument.
Ahh sarcasm. Where would insecure people be without it? Ok, so I just re-read it. Can you please point me to the exact part of the article which answers these questions?
3000 pounds of bacon?!? How is he carrying it? And, also, how's he keeping it refrigerated? Don't get me wrong, I think paying for travel with bacon is just as awesome as the next guy, but there are some serious holes in this story.
But what I can't tell FTA is whether or not the process of dis-ordering the material to prevent heat transfer also degrades the electrical conductivity. Obviously there is an over-all benefit, but I can't imagine that it is not affected at all.
Why is it that the first post is always someone saying: "Yay, first post" or challenging the newsworthiness of the story. Maybe instead of sitting there jabbing the refresh button you should come back in a few hours time, and I'm sure there will be something worthy of your mighty attention.
Hey screw you buddy! I went to the beach the other day and it was like totally freezing - more like global cooling I say. And what do scientists know anyway? They're always inside in labs and stuff. You can't test weather with a test tube - just look out your window, man! Anyway, I hope it does get warmer because then I can swim all year. The desert may be too hot, but I don't care because I don't live there.

Facebook inventors don't tend to be short on cash and that's one of the weakest patents I've ever heard of.
What? Spell first wrong or actually be second, but claim to be frist?
Whoops. Guess I should learn how to use /.

Yeah, I was sort of having a bit of a joke. But thanks for lecture!
Programmer accidentally casts unsigned to signed: steering wheel turns full lock right instead of a bit to the left?

It makes me wonder how many people have completely missed the point of the MacGruber movie.
MacGyver never had $900,000. He just had household products and a heart full of courage.

Milk. The universe is surrounded by milk.

I know you're probably trolling, but if that is really your point of view then there maybe better places for you to hang out on the internet.

Agree completely, but how the hell did the DWP end up with that many ip addresses?
Lol :D Yes, they may as well have called it "fuck-u-up.html"
... just build cyborgs which don't need to blow their nose?
Because my mum didn't love me
