A military pilot called for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked". Air traffic control told the fighter jock that he was number two behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down. "Ah", the pilot remarked, " the dreaded seven-engine approach".
Localised sites, like www.google.co.uk or www.google.co.jp do not seem to have implemented this feature yet. Search terms that you enter at these sites don't appear in your Search History - just those from www.google.COM
You can also share your preferences with others, because Google will show you a URL which will generate your selected view. At bottom of the page, hit 'Share your customized news with a friend'.
Presumably, the code provided in the URL is a reference to a great big lookup table that they keep with everybody's preferences (custom search terms, layout etc). I have set up lots of custom search terms, and the URL is certainly not long enough to contain them all.
Yeah, running a relatively well known website with your e-mail address all over doesn't exactly help out in the spam avoidance department either.

Or are they just interested in accumulating a huge warehouse of urine-stained wool to prevent us poor souls from ever getting any?
Let Gmail do your spam filtering for you.

This is _exactly_ why I moved to VisualStudio.NET, for the commenting features.
As the synopsis of the article says:
Causality is unproven.
Steve Ballmer was interviewed on BBC Radio 4 this morning - he said:
"With the world in quite a bit of turmoil, I think that Windows XP is the antidote we need"
Oh good, Microsoft is going to save the world now too.
The truly comic touch to this comes from IP Australian (the federal government agency which granted the patent in the first place) says...
"Don't reinvent the wheel. Searching worldwide patent information can help you avoid wasting time and money duplicating work done elsewhere"
