    Google never linked the site, google linked to a google search to which that site was the first result.

    MSN is already the default search engine. If they hijack it much more than that they will be breaking the law.

  5. Re:Cha ching? on Microsoft, Yahoo Investigate Spam Solution · · Score: 1

    AOL already blocked half a billion emails last year. AOL already has a solution that works in preventing many kinds of SPAM if only some other ISP's would also do the same thing the world would be a better place.

    AOL will not accept mail from SMTP servers with IP addresses like 12-34-23.dsl.miamfl.bbc.com.

    It is called DNS, the best part is the we don't even need to change the core infastructure of the internet to start using it.

    Open relays are not the only problem, anyone can install an SMTP server or trojan a PC and use it as an SMTP server. 1/3 of all spam is now sent this way and the popularity is growing.

    I still move that SMTP server be added to a DNS record much like mail exchangers have been for ages. it would be a _backwards_compatible_ solution for the ISP's that don't want to get in line.

  6. Re:Lets hope that the result is progress on Google v. Microsoft · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Microsoft would have to do more than design an efficient search algorithm to beat Google. MSN is a portal, not a search engine. In order to make the portal a better search engine than Google, they would have to first stop being a portal.

    Why not go elsewhere, you are probably almost as well off in many other contries working for $10 than $20 in the US. You don't have to pay 30% income tax plus SSI you will never see, when you buy something you pay tax on that. The company that manufactured the product pays like 50% of what they make in taxes so they have to charge more for the product.

    You can sleep well at night knowing if you are a crack addict the government will pay your way through rehab, give you a place to stay, and money to buy crack with.

    The US government is spending money like there is no tomorrow and it only looks like the trend will get more expensive in the future.

    Many people argue that if the government quits spending so much money on foreign aid that the global economy will crash. We keep throwing away American tax dollars at foreign nations only to be the most hated country in the world. Nobody ever pays back the monoey.

    All the people that complain about the way the US does things. They should raise their nations taxes by several billion a year and take over babbysiting the rest of the world then. God knows the people that live in this country could think of better things to spend money on.

    It was a joke that went way over your head.

    For Windows, the cost was only:

    This is the same think MS did when they removed windowsupdate.com

    I got an "action canceled" message instead, something do do with an entry in my hosts file for '127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net'. Anyway, MS has banners on slashdot also, I don't see what the big deal is.

    And were are not without /. saying Dell is trying to "distancing of itself from Microsoft". Myabe Dell is only one small step away from throwing down the windows flag and offering only Linux as an option? No, I don't think that is it. I think someone is just spouting off at the mouth. Zealots are blinded by the way they want things to be, not the way things are.

    There is an exam they endure before they take office that tests things like verbal compentency etc. I remember hearing that Bush absolutely bombed it, and that Clinton did pretty well. I don't have a link but I am sure you can find one if you dig.

    Napster was a new idea, people enjoyed hanging out in napster chat rooms and downloading new music, spyware free.

    Ok, there are some exceptions to the rule. What does that change? The majority of blacks I know do like fried chicken, most Asians I know are good at math, and most MCSE's I have met, and will meet are still clueless noobs. Nobody ever said stereotype's have no exceptions. It just always seems to be the MCSE's that introduce themselves to me as an M-C-S-E like I am supposed to be impressed or something. I am sure my experiences are different than others, but it is hard not to cringe when someone calls themselves MCSE.
