Same thing with audio equipment. Room-shaking bass and razorblade sharp piercing highs sell gear. Doesn't matter if its a balanced sound, or if there's any separation between the elements in the mix. More bass? check. Killer sharp highs? check. Go to the checkout counter.
No, its not that simple. Lets say I have a small business, I sell garden tools, lawnmowers,etc, in a certain region. And yet I do a search on google for garden tools + region, I am nowhere to be found. What do I do? I optimise the hell out of my site, caking it with region name + garden tools information, and I set up a links exchange program, getting in links left right and centre from related sites. This is SEO, and it will only affect people that enter a search for "garden" "tools" "my region". In other words, those that actually want to find my site.
Or, you can go here and be listed in Google Local within about 6 weeks. Seems pretty simple to me.
I hate hippies! I mean, the way they always talk about "protectin' the earth" and then drive around in cars that get poor gas mileage and wear those stupid bracelets - I hate 'em! I wanna kick 'em in the nuts! -- Eric Cartman
Not to sound like an ingrate, because this is really cool, but I'd love to see a video tour of this. Growing up in the 80's I have fond memories of randomly catching Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and watching him tour some factory. I'd like to see that in the factories today.
Check this site out. I think it has what you are looking for.
I may get modded down for calling you the loser that you are, but I hope instead enough people are pissed off enough at you that they mod me up to +5 instead. Or someone with a slashdot account reposts this, so someone at Google sees it.
You created a fraud. Congratulations. Only losers such as yourself know what runs through your mind during all the time you took to create your fraud. It would make an interesting psychology class.
Not a big deal if it was confined to the slashdot crowd. But your site was picked up by mainstream press, and kids and adults from all over the world were entertained in believing your site to be real. Hopefully most non-slashdotters will continue to believe that, since they are unlikely to return unless they bookmarked the site and remember to return. Or maybe you'll continue your fraud and they won't know the difference.
It may also serve as a good lesson on fraud for the older kids. But the younger kids? You gave them a lollipop, and it turned out to have a castor oil center. Hope you got a good laugh out of it, because you and a small minority of slashdotters are probably the only ones. I'd guess that most others, including most slashdot regulars feel let down or disappointed. And from the handfull of posts I read, also feel that you are a fraud.
"Oh my God... think of the children!" Get a grip, dude. If you don't want to disappoint your kids don't tell them. Were you emotionally scarred when you found out that Santa wasn't real? Or are you just pissed off because you fell for it and you have no sense of humor?
I find it sad that anyone would want to use the straight party ticket (as depicted in the parent's link) and that the ballot even has one. How mindless do you have to be to not even consider each candidate on their own merits rather than just the party to which they belong?
The lighting device commonly referred to as "neon" is indeed a type of cold cathode lamp. Not all cold cathode lamps are neon, as diefferent colors use different gasses, but neon and cold cathode are not mutually excludive.
I would just do the damage. How much can a couple of holes cost to repair? It's going to cost way more in time and materials to try to work around doing it the right way.
The trends for graphics hardware these days seems to be to draw more power and create more heat to get faster processors and push more polygons. Yet in the CPU arena chips like the Via C3 and Epia, Transmeta Crusoe and Astro, Intel Pentium M, and IBM/Motorola PowerPC (G3-5) seem to favor more power per megahertz and cooler runnings without significant performance loss.
Have you ever used a PC based on a Transmeta Crusoe? They have significantly poorer performance that the CPU they are designed to replace. I'll take a hotter running, more power sucking Pentium any day.
A realistic solution to it is to allow people to falsify WHOIS records, but require the registries to maintain records of accurate contact information to be provided in the event of a (legitimately issued) subpoena or an investigation by law enforcement, provided they have a warrant for the information.
You mean like this? The whois record for my domain does not list my info.

Google is an American comapany. If France doesn't like it, they can create their own database. Boo f-ing hoo.
Bullshit.

Kill the Explorer process.
The IE process is called IEXPLORE. The process you killed is the explorer shell. They are seperate.
CmdrTaco is pointing out someone else's spelling error. The end is near.
We're happy with our drug prices and don't want to have the same problems they have in America. thanks, but go to Mexico
Unless you have a prescription from a Mexican doctor, they will throw you in jail for that.

I don't know about the Real one, but qttask will put itself back if you try to disable using msconfig.
They are cold cathode not neon

Here you go, hot off the presses:
Polar Base Prototype
That link clearly says Arctic. They want a design for an Antarctic base. That would be the opposite side of the world. Sheesh.
Seems like it'd be a lot cheaper to put some velcro on a pda and stick it to the wall.

Believe it or not, some of us still use terminals. Sometimes it is an efficient way to work with a system.
Why would I use BT when I am getting 500KB/sec directly from the server?
What happens when the power goes out?
Power doesn't go out in a decent data center. They have online UPS to take over short term and gas powered generators for longer outages.
...you can hear them say "Bud-," "-weis-," "-er.'
For $800k, it might just be cheaper to move your operation across town.

I used to work with Nick Danger (real name) here in Alaska. Is that you?
No. Nick Danger is a handle I've been using since my 300baud Commodore 64 days. I got it from a character on Firesign Theatre.
