while at work one day back in 1997 i got these weird blisters on my face. they got worse quite quickly. a fever came. sweats. sitting in my cube i started panicking and typed a search string containing my various symptoms into the search engine of the day at that time, prolly hotbot (!)
the search engine told me that at best i had herpes but more likely leprosy.
my doctor finally returned my call, had me come over, and told me it was chickenpox......
can you imagine what a hypochondriac's google search logs might looks like?
gd2 vs. yahoo desktop + konfabulator
on
Google Desktop 2 Live

· Score: 2, Insightful
i used gd for a while, but it didn't find nearly as much stuff as X1 (which later became yahoo desktop). for example, it wouldn't index my gaim logs for some reason. i had to install some third party text plugin that ate the cpu like mad.
so i like the way gd works, in general, but i didn't like that it searched so little of my world. Y! desktop, on the other hand, is an ugly app, but man, it finds EVERYTHING.
as far as the sidebar, i just don't get what the fuss is about. y'all should check out konfabulator. it's amazingly cool and works the same on windows and the mac (i use both) and does all the stuff gd's sidebard does and a lot more and in much more open ended manner (transparent float mode is unbelievably useful).
i just started using PasswordMaker a few days ago and it's very cool. the only thing i don't like about this kind of solution is that if you somehow compromise your master password you've got to go and change ALL of your passwords.
The price at the pump is primarily driven by the lack of refining capacity in this country and taxes than the price of crude. The last refinery built in the United States was in Garyville, LA back in 76.
perhaps this is because the oil companies know they will not need these refineries for very much longer as oil production peaks.
booo. i thought one of the coolest things about hl2's ending was that all the cool people, except gordon, got wiped out. the g-man doesn't care about those other mere humans, he saves only gordon.
i mean, that was a nuclear explosion @ the end, or something similar. they should have been vaporized.
it could have turned gordon into a seriously dark character, sort of like elric and the everman. always alone, eventually avoiding friendships knowing that he will only see people he cares about die.
now it's just gonna be some tits & ass. disappointed!
If, for example, I use redirects to distribute traffic between multiple servers on multiple hosts, the GoogleBot's behaviour of treating the redirecting host as the website's canonical host is correct. I want users to use the referring host so that I can change physical hosts with impunity.
well, a bunch of people have suggested that 302s should only be honored by crawlers if the domain is the same. i think that's a pretty good idea.
It's not Google that's broken--it's the web. It's just that the two-legged weasels are only now starting to pry open the cracks.
why do you say that? how is the web broken because of the way google crawls it? the http standard was designed before googlebots were crawling it. long long before. the googlebot need to be more intelligent is all.
The REAL answer would be to have google not index redirects (which is pretty stupid, all things considered. Why link searchers to the "wrong" URL, instead of the destination URL of the redirect?)
not that simple. 302's are commonly used when you want to establish a session id necessary for navigating some websites, like amazon, ebay, etc. there's also technologies like aspx, php, various wiki implementations (just a few examples) that rely on 302 in their architecture.
Then, all the victim of a hijacking needs to do is put in the meta tag and their problem's solved.
oh, is that all? lets have the several billion webpages out there add the extra meta. might work for dynamically generated websites, but what about stuff that's static or stuff where the owners don't have access to the header (like say... a popular blogger site?)
The whole mozilla project is also in desperate need of documentation. It's nearly impossible to write applications and complex extensions without digging into the sometimes sparsely commented source code.
Documentation would also help in the review process.
In unix, "root" has all the permissions. There is no way to grant someone permission to do one extraordinary thing without giving that user permission to do a whole host of extraordinary things.

this must be a new use of the word "surprising" that i was not aware of.
wouldn't it be ironic?
thanks troll for plagarizing my wired comment directly...

catholic church attempts to co-exist with science. i wonder how long before american catholics denounce the vatican for its attempts at being progressive.

the firefox extension for PM is very nice.

apparently some tits & ass fan with mod points got me. whoever you are, i bet you're a big fan of formula film/games/etc.

true. i can't think of too many areas where 302 to a different domain is useful except as a tombstone.
err... in which case it should be a 301 anyway...

google needs to fix this, not The Web.
you could encode your encrypted message using the english language too. a word lookup table for each byte of data sent.

i actually bothered reading about his anti-spam system. it was so ridiculous i couldn't stomach reading about his CAPTCHA.
my summary: spam is really annoying me so i'm going to spam my address book so they know how to [probably] be able to contact me in the future.
wow.
or have we forgotten?
where's the newton?????

sudo and a well defined sudoer file.
