On: Google Expands Usenet Archive to 20 Years

i remember 3 years ago searching back through ancient posts on dejanews.

then google brought the archive (well over a year ago) and took it down the majority of it. this is not something new, it's just that they have FINALLY put it all back up again.

in fact dejanews.com is still a valid url (but points straight to groups.google)

& IMHO the deja search and viewing pages we much better ;)

Re:I hope this is like old Deja

On: Google Expands Usenet Archive to 20 Years

i was pretty upset when google bought the deja archives and then decided to take the bulk of it offline with the promise of "it's all coming back soon"

that was like over a year ago. it's taken them long enough to put it back up again...

It doesn't matter

On: Gates: "Linux will have Limited Impact"

Too right.

Linux's goal should be to create the world's best O/S and not to attempt to destroy Micro$oft.

If you are the best then you will win.
