Here's why. I got the following off google news. People search for cricket because they want to know just what the hell the following text means.
In Chittagong, Bangladesh, yesterday, Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh took the home side's final wicket on the fourth morning to give the visitors victory in the second and final test by an innings and 83 runs and complete a 2-0 series sweep.
Harbhajan had No. 11 batsman Talha Jubair caught at long-on by Irfan Pathan with the fourth delivery of the day, as Bangladesh folded for 124 in its second innings. The home team was 118 for nine overnight after India enforced the follow on, having bowled Bangladesh out for 333 in reply to its first innings of 540.

Go ahead, but I say it's a waste

I could reproduce my cat, but it won't be the same cat. In my opinion, nuture plays as much a role as nature in defining the personality of a dog or cat. You like you animal for its behaviour, not what it looks like (at least I do).
You know, when the "Celebrity casting for LOTR" story made the main page, I thought, "This is about as faggy as Slashdot will ever get." Boy, was I wrong.
Back in the dot com days, I worked for an internet porn company that got the bright idea of outsourcing a bunch of work to Russia. Turned out that it didn't work to well but they still wrote a bunch of code for us. Now, for all you people who talk about Perl being difficult to read, try this: I had to debug Perl code written in Russian.
You mention that people did not read the article, but does it not say that Google went to court to allow your company to do just what could do before? That was what the whole Geico case was about (as you state in your frist P). So... you did or didn't want to be able to do what your company was doing?
Google went to court because of the dollars involved. They would have never went to court for us in our case. This is not about principals.
As far as using other companies' names/trademarks as keywords, I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. As I said, some companies are using our trademark in their keywords. But it doesn't matter because if you Google our trademark the top search results point to us. In fact, by design our ad doesn't even come up. In a sense I find it amusing, flattering even, to see our competitors ads in this case.
Ok. It's clear to me that everyone who responded to my post either A. knows nothing about Adwords or B. did not read the article or C. both. The keywords are used in an ad campaign to show ads that you pay Google to display. Geico sued Google for allowing other companies to use the keyword Geico in their ad campaigns. Geico lost.
Our company put the name of our biggest competitor in our keywords so that if someone search for that company, our ad would show up. Google told us in legal form to stop. In our case, I believe the company we used complained. Since we only spend about $20,000/year on AdWords and that particular keyword probably only made Google $500 out of that $20000, I am sure Google thought it easier to send us a cease and desist instead of risking a lawsuit. In the case of Geico, that keyword most likely generates millions of dollars for Google. That is the reason they went to court.
The moral is: Google is a little more evil today than they were yesterday. (Evil in a Slashdot mentality type of way. I personally do not care.)
ps Other companies use our name in their keywords but we don't complain.
497 days is when things can start to crap out due to a 32 bit int measuring processor ticks (or something) wraps around. I just rebooted 4 servers in our data center that were at 493 days. They won't automatically crash, but the likelyhood shoots up a thousand fold (in my experience.)
I wouldn't recommend software at all. I would recommend something we call "pencil and paper." Learning mathematics (and reading music, and a number of other such undertakings) is as much a mechanical skill as an intellectual one and the quickest way to the brain is through the fingers.
Word to that. When I was in school, we couldn't even use calculators. I could calculate the cube root of large numbers to several significant digits with paper and pencil.

With wireless and what not, how fucking hard would this be to fact check?
Don't be a cog. Cogs get outsourced. Cog == bot. Good day.

My only reaction is, "LOL, what?"
Britney...when will it ever end?
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm hoping it's "Britney's Anal Adventures 11."
That was sickos looking for pictures and video. That was no "Oh, I'm looking for a Nick Berg memorial site so I can pay tribute".

If they really want to sniff you, what is to stop them from sniffing at that unavoidable first hop?
I guess high priced tickets, concessions and TV contracts just aren't enough to cover things like Kevin Garnets 11 year $305 million salary.
I use a little method I like to call the crontab coupled with shell scripts.
YHBT. HAND.

Anything you can download of the net, compile and run on Unix? There are probably millions of security holes out there.
Our company got a cease and desist from Google for using another company's name in our keywords.

497? maaaan, and I thought I was doing well.
497 days is when things can start to crap out due to a 32 bit int measuring processor ticks (or something) wraps around. I just rebooted 4 servers in our data center that were at 493 days. They won't automatically crash, but the likelyhood shoots up a thousand fold (in my experience.)
I reboot every 497 days.
What? I don't get it, what's the story here?
