Anyone out there who actually makes it a habit to go to sex.com? Frankly I've never heard of them since the big sale however many years ago that was. And who goes to business.com? Sure, they're generic keywords with.com behind them, but honestly where's the value in a name?
You know, if someone was talking about Americans executing opponents of the government without trial and in a cruel fashion, I don't think it would have gotten scored to +5. Anyone get a chill up your spine when he said "every single one of them"?
Are you sure you are mocking it? Or are you just repeating something that you saw on TV? You seem to have a great recall of the ads, which haven't been on TV for many years, as far as I can remember. You even remembered to properly capitalize the proper noun "Energizer Bunny". In my mind, this sort of parrotry isn't mockery. No...no, I would call a crappy ancient ad campaign that successfully implanted itself into the internal consciousness of a weak-minded Slashdot poster.
But eating junk food produces a high, a euphoric feeling sometimes.
I'm sorry, but what the fuck are you talking about? I've never, EVER had this experience in my entire life, and I've had some pretty transcendent meals. I think, sir, you have gone outside the bounds of shared experience. "Comfort food", though a denigrating, dehumanizing term, means foods with which you were familiar as a youth. Has nothing to do with getting a "high" from Twinkies, lardass. Honestly, at this point, I would really recommend trying drugs. They're much, much better than a Ding-Dong or Bucket-O-Lard or whatever the fuck makes you Republitards happy.
It's not my website, dude, it's just a link so people will hopefully learn to spell. There's no way I'm telling anyone the magic keyword, it would be trivial to find me IRL, and Slashdot can get scary sometimes.
Novice != moron, but go ahead and say that if that's what makes you feel good. To return the favor, I couldn't care less about your professional SEO bullshit. Frankly, I steer clear of fraudsters like you.
I'm telling you that my site is absolutely the #1 most informative site about my keyword on the internet, and if you're searching for my rather obscure keyword you'd be very glad indeed to find that there is a comprehensive resource on the subject. I'm not "supporting" one search site over the other, I'm saying one site returns relevant results and the other not only fails, but fails hard. The #3 result is a site that I've never heard of, that hasn't been updated since 2006. #1 is good if boring, but the rest on the front page are not terribly relevant.
But hey, I must be totally wrong to survey the situation from my viewpoint and report empirically on slashdot. I must be an "absolute moron" because I'm not an "SEO professional". You're right, I should have spent my keystrokes showing my contempt for others, I suppose that belongs at slashdot more than my anecdote.
I have my own website which is absolutely authoritative on its rather narrow topic. This website is easily findable by its unique keyword that identifies the topic (similar to searching for "slashdot", you won't find any cooking websites or shopping, only tech stuff). I'm at #5 on Google and my number one competitor is at #6. Neither of us shows up on a Bing.com search, I quit looking after page 10 of results. The results just have a bunch of websites that I've never heard of before. Even more galling, Bing.com tries to play games with my results because I'm overseas. I search for "mykeyword" and select "Only English". Bing.com helpfully comes back with "Results are included for XXX XXX (foreign word that is the translation of my keyword)". Two of the sites on the first page say "Parse error: syntax error" as their preview. Yes, my site is in Bing's index and regularly submits XML sitemaps.
In conclusion, Bing sucks if it can't put my site in the first 10 search results. Hell, it should at least be in the top 100. I don't game Google, either, other than some basic SEO that any responsible business owner should do.
What you're missing is the "wrong" and "right" of the situation. Europeans are right, Americans and Chinese are wrong, in addition to being vulgar and uncivilized. Heck, there are people who call the results of legitimate elections "wrong" because the people voted the "incorrect" way. I wish I was kidding.
Although I am happy to see yet another thread about a totally unrelated subject get turned into the standard "Europeans consider Americans as inexplicably stupid" argument though.
ChinaSMACK is a shit-stirring blog that posts only the most sensational crap that they can find. Their favorite topic is driving a wedge between "Chinese" and "foreigners". Extreme opinions from random internet jerkwads are presented as representative of opinion. It's like browsing slashdot at -1 and translating the posts into Chinese - you start with crap, you end up with crap. The only fun part of the site is watching P.C. westerners get offended in the English comments, and then calling them racists because they're criticizing Chinese people because they're, well, Chinese. It's fun watching the "b-b-but I'm not a racist!" head exploding reactions.
How about some crusaders who mount spam campaigns that, when clicked, scare the holy living hell out of the recipient? Display your geo-location info and a big flashing progress meter that says, "withdrawing funds from your bank account...55%...100%...done" and then a dialog box pops up and says, "Why'd you click on a spam link, sucker? I'll be enjoying your money while I vacation in the Cayman Islands!" Of course no money would be stolen but it would at least give a few idiots the scare of their lives and get them to stop clicking on spam.
"It wants to do this so that it can show people on their iGoogle homepages when and where they are consuming energy so that they can start to reduce their power consumption." Wrong, wrong, a thousand times wrong. Google is an advertising company. How the heck is an advertising company doing this?
"The good news is that it is an opt-in service and free so you don't have to make Google your energy-monitor if you dont't want to do so." Well, isn't that nice of Google! I don't have to let them monitor my energy usage if I don't want to! Thanks for that, faceless corporation.
OK! I'm sure that your one experience with one person totally discredits my many years living full-time in China and speaking Chinese. I suppose the single lady you spoke to, spoke English, yes? Hmmm, I wonder if people who learn English might know what foreigners want to hear? And if she was selling you something, that might have also influenced her words?
Nah, the obvious answer is that you're right and I'm wrong. After all, I presented nothing, and you presented an anecdote. Well-done, sir, on a successfully concluded internet argument!
No. I'm in fucking China, moron, AIW doesn't open until April 24 in my town. It's so sad that your frame of reference is formed by the most recent piece of trash Hollywood vomited upon the body public, though.
The only reason the British exported opium to China was that the Chinese government were total bigots and thought of everyone who wasn't Chinese as barbarians. You barbarians can't possibly have any goods that we "good people" would ever want to buy, so pay for your silk in gold and fuck off. What, the world's greatest mercantile nation with the world's greatest navy is knocking on our door, asking to make both of us rich from trade? Fuck them. Barbarians, not worthy to talk to Chinese people. It's not like they'll invade us and start trading these otherwise unsalable goods on our country. We are China, everyone must bow low and call us teacher.
You do know that during the Opium War era, it was illegal upon pain of death for any Chinese person to teach a barbarian Chinese language? I suppose that Hollywood movie where you get all your facts from didn't mention that, eh? Homework: ask yourself why nobody has ever mentioned this, and what motivations they might have had for doing so.
To China, Google might as well be an arm of the federal government. When Google does something, it's not one private company that did it, but all of America that did it. It's actually a quite frightening 19th century attitude. Mark my words, China will be the Germany of the 21st century. Recently unified, recently economically powerful, a deep sense of historical humiliation (the Opium Wars and the Eight Nations might just as well have existed yesterday and yes people really feel this way), and a government that views building the military as a method of gaining prestige in the world. HMS Dreadnought came about because of a Germany-inspired arms race at sea. China, very very much wants to humiliate America and have the world bow Obama-style and call China "teacher". You know how open source zealots seize every opportunity to trash corporations? Even the flimsiest excuse will do, and if they don't have an excuse they'll just make one up. This is what China is doing with Google. The story is that American companies are trying to pollute Chinese society with pornography and separatism, and they feel themselves above Chinese law. Of course, we just see a CEO grandstanding so he can feel good about himself and appear at awards dinners to accept "ethics" trophies. The real casualties in this mess are the other Americans who have to deal with the fallout. But screw them, eh, Sergey?
"wish to Christ"? Take your fake manufactured outrage elsewhere, God-boy. Christians like you aren't welcome when you impose your puritanical morals on other people. Always making yourselves feel good by telling the rest of the world that they disgust you.
A sad day on Slashdot when someone saying "programming correctly is the right response" and he's ridiculed by at least 4 replies and modded +3 Funny. What the hell happened to this place?

Q: Why is starting a post in the "Subject" line incredibly annoying?
Please explain how Tim Burton and Kristen Stewart represent the US government. This should be a good one. For inspiration, try Fars or www.kcna.co.jp, they tell the same story you do. Bonus points for lumping Jim Carrey in with the Nazis and Communists.
Because this is what China is telling their people. In China all press is government controlled. Media is used to control society (good thing that could never, ever happen in the USA, no all our media is unbiased except for that one EEEEVIL TV station called Fox) and China knows it. To us, the story is China broke into Google.com and spraypainted "China Rul3z!" all over human rights activists email accounts. Google is rightly angry about this and is pulling out of China in response.
China puts their own bias on the story (oops, sorry, only one TV station does that, all the rest are objective). The story is "Google is an evil American company that wants that horrible freedom for China. In addition, they are incapable of following Chinese laws. They are foreign invaders out to destroy Chinese culture just like the Eight Nations and should be dealt with strongly. WTO says China has to open its markets in a legal sense, but we Chinese will make it impossible to continue business here. Crush foreigners and sell their assets to Chinese companies for a song!" Mark my words, this story will play out again and again in coming years, as foreign companies are taxed, legally harassed, and otherwise driven out of China - legally, of course. China didn't kick Google out, but merely made it impossible for them to continue.
One of the reasons modern Westerners find it so difficult to understand China is that the Chinese government actually has their own nation's welfare in mind. Western governments rarely intentionally represent their people, and as a matter of fact great lengths are gone to to subvert the legislative process at all levels. China represents its own interests, which causes some people's heads to explode in confusion. But one thing modern Westerners and China can agree on is that their nation's common people are idiots cannot possibly govern themselves, but need to be ruled.
