    I like the site, and I dont want it to end up as some google arselicking rubbish.

  3. Bah on Google Adds News Personalization · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    In other groundbreaking, headline news, a cleaner at some fucking Google office farted and almost followed through.

    I mean, jesus. They provide a decent search engine. Big fucking deal. The amount of coverage /. is giving to Google for every pathetic little detail is really beginning to piss me off.

    OMG PERSONALISATION !!!111ONEONE!!! HOLD THE FRONT PAGE, MOTHERFUCKERS!

    Sycophants.

    Can anyone explain to me how it is "Object Relational" as opposed to just straight "Relational" or is this just another case of /. bullshit?

    Does it handle firefox history?

  11. Firefox Cache? on Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta · · Score: 1

    Has anyone found a win32 search tool that indexes your browser cache? Is that not probably the single most useful potential feature of these tools?

    If I want to search my email/My Documents/messenger history I can do that either with the appropriate client or a basic file search (albeit not indexed, but normally that's not an issue).

    Why are the search providers not addressing page cache/history? Is there a firefox plug in that achieves this? I just want a "look in pages" checkbox next to the history search field really...

    Quarterly losses? Whew! At least they arent sufferent from monthly losses. Or even weekly ones.

  13. Re:Why is desktop search so hot? on Desktop Search Engines Compared · · Score: 2, Funny

    In their wisdom MS decided that search should ignore certain file types. Try creating a file that ends in ".java" and search for a string inside that file. Surprised?

    Doh! Was meant to include this quote in the above post - mods can ignore the above post please...
    You can tune your anticipatory scheduler to improve its functionality. There are five basic parameters you can alter to change the way the wait-before-seek times function: read_expire, read_batch_expire, write_expire, write_batch_expire, and antic_expire.

    Would it not be possible to write a very basic adaptive network that "learns" what the best values for these parameters are for each individual machine, based on a history of its workload?

    What have you been to an "Economics for dummies" presentation, as hosted by some sort of fucked up Republican idiot who manages to make people believe the concept of trickle down wealth?

    The money no doubt goes straight into the pocket of some smart and lucky 26 year old arsehole who promptly spends it all on Porsches and blowing coke up assholes, that sort of thing.

    I'm looking to put a Gentoo-based small form factor MythTV setup together in the UK in a few months. Can you give me any tips on hardware, especially the TV-In (Was looking at the Nebula DigiTV card which has been getting rave reviews, but I was concerned about compatiability), TV-Out (I have an old Radeon 8500 with TV-Out - is that good enough?) and finally a Remote Control solution (Was looking at IR-Man but it seems a bit pricey - also maybe the ATI remote wonder).

    Basically any tips, help, forum links would be great. Thanks.
