If you search for something too specific, Google will just return noise. Also, if you're searching for a page very little people have linked to, Google is not your friend. Google is very good for searching the "obvious" result.
For these reasons, I occasionally resort to Clusty. It atempts to categorize (semantic web?) the results and sometimes it helped me search for that page that was buried under Google's statistical heap of nothingness.
Cuil seems to operate with categories too. I welcome competition.
Besides, let's be honest. It's nothing like the major epic fucking fail that Microsoft search engine was.
European societies are liberal - or should we say realistic? They know and acknowledge this simple biological fact: adolescents fuck. No matter what you do to stop them! LOL;-)
Current mores in America is a shift towards right-wing religious brain-death. America's deep underground plan by the military: nuke the rest of the non-Southern Baptist world.
What really pisses me off is that this is yet another blow to Usenet and Usenet culture as a whole. It used to be that a lot of news servers were free. Today you have to pay (even though it's not much).
What's worse, the kids nowadays don't use Usenet and prefer shitty stuff like PHP forums. This makes it much much harder to search for a right answer for a question you have, even with Google. That's why, BTW, I think Ubuntu's support simply sucks - you gotta search those shitty PHP forums.
The beauty of Usenet is precisely this propagation to all servers. It's, like, it's all in one place. Usenet was designed by smart guys.
Well, the comp.lang.* groups appear to be going strong.
WTF ?! A consenting 15 year-old gives some 17 year-old a blow job and he goes to jail ?! Lemme guess...in a car ?! LOL. Isn't that, like, and "American tradition" ?!?!? (*)
BTW, what would Fonzie do? LOL:-)
Poor US teenageers...No wonder kids end up going crazy...
Sending the kiddo to jail - not that's having no ethics/morality!
(*) I read a bit more of the Wikipedia article and it wasnt' in a car. Oh well, times change.
Wow, a little cultural bias here, huh? Just because a girl isn't fat or is "petite" (small frame) or does not have a size D cup (the mega-uberus Americans like so much) does not make her 10. That's fucking ridiculous! It just shows what a sorry sex life you had when you were 18 - or what fat girls you were fucking. Fucking fat girls is all right - if that's what you like, that's what you like. Just don't put your self up in the moral evolution ladder and dictate that all girls should look like what you fancy. Besides, some ethnic groups tend to have different body builds, so you almost stink of a racist to me...
I mean, somebody else could do the opposite and say that the current American trend of having plastic surgery in order to display humongous tits can only be a symptom psychological illness (the body-dysmorphic patient).
And what the fuck...If a girl's 18 she's 18. That's legal age in just about 99% of the countries around the world. Now, there's a reason we all consider 18 legal age, you know - but I'm not telling you, I'm gonna let you think about it.
You don't get to pass a judgement on people's taste. I mean, it doesn't get more authoritarian than that: legislating on people's sexual preferences. Sex with children is illegal for a reason - it exposes children to a variety of dangers. Adults are free to do what they want.
Granted, some adults just love to legislate on people's tastes: religious types, specially.
You comments are way off mark, because pedophilia is a technical definition - and I hate to burst your (puritan/Christian/Republican/redneck) bubble - but 18 is not pedophilia, dude. No matter what you say.
I just checked Emily 18 http://www.emily18.com/tour2.php and you know what? She looks 18. At least, she looks like the girls I was banging when I was 18.
Dr. DeBakey was an example to be followed, a man who knew no bounds in his interdisciplinary research and persuit for the betterment of human life.
In this sad day, all our hearts are made a little bit out of titanium alloy - to be like the ones you made to give life to those who needed to extend it so badly.
"The Mozart Programming System is an advanced development platform for intelligent, distributed applications. The system is the result of a decade of research in programming language design and implementation, constraint-based inference, distributed computing, and human-computer interfaces. As a result, Mozart is unequalled in expressive power and functionality. Mozart has an interactive incremental development environment and a production-quality implementation for Unix and Windows platforms. Mozart is the fruit of an ongoing research collaboration by the Mozart Consortium.
Mozart is based on the Oz language, which supports declarative programming, object-oriented programming, constraint programming, and concurrency as part of a coherent whole. For distribution, Mozart provides a true network transparent implementation with support for network awareness, openness, and fault tolerance. Mozart supports multi-core programming with its network transparent distribution and is an ideal platform for both general-purpose distributed applications as well as for hard problems requiring sophisticated optimization and inferencing abilities. We have developed many applications including sophisticated collaborative tools, multi-agent systems, and digital assistants, as well as applications in natural language understanding and knowledge representation, in scheduling and time-tabling, and in placement and configuration."
Right on...These Linux n00bs have no respect for history. Unix was there before Stallman, before Linux. Unix -> Minix -> Linux.
What Linux has is a religious following largely constitued of sysadmins (hence, do not write software for a living) and college kids (hence, do not write software, do not work).
PS: I'm talking about the religious folowers here, not the Linux users in general.
The one and only freedom: take the code and do what you want with it.
You'll share when you see technical merits in sharing - when forking your code, when getting away from the community work gives you more trouble than it's worth.
Stallman lost a great opportunity to explain to a wider audience why Bill Gates has been bad for the software industry, trying to introduce incompatibilities anywhere and everywhere he could.
Instead, about midway, the article turned into a GNU/Linux evangelism piece. Moralists just can't stop preaching.
If people/other corporations hadn't fought him, if developers hadn't boycotted MS, the web would be broken. Stallman fanboys better thank Apple and Sun, because they were the ones who reined Gates in.
Unix wars? Are you kidding?! What kind of comparison is that ?! There are, like, 300 linux distros and they're all incompatible with one another (unless they are clones, like RedHat/CentOS). Compare that with 3 BSDs (4 actually, forgot about DragonFly). We're in 2008 and Linux Standard Base sunk. The only thing compatible between Unixes is the good ol' tarball. Linuxers try hard to write non-portable software, too...
Medical books are entirely different. They don't sell as much as Calculus books, for instance.
Secondly, they require a higher-quality paper (for color Anatomy dissections, Histology tissue pictures, reproduction of x-rays, etc.) And even basic textbooks are much bigger than other in fields (consider, for example, the 3 tomes of The Oxford Textbook of Medicine).
And what about the book for the specialist? While a Mathematics specialist book requires acid-free paper, a small size, black ink and LaTeX software, a textbook on the Parasitology of water-borne species of the Central Amazon or a book on the Ultrastructure of Mitochondrias in Disease (believe me, there are such books) will sell maybe less (because a Maths book will even interest Physicist or Engineers) and be more expensive to market and manufacture.
Additionally, it makes absolutely no sense to buy used books in the case of Medicine and it is even harmful to others (because of outdated diagnosis and therapy). Calculus has been around since Newton (and there's a huge cultural barrier for new developments to trickle down to students). OTOH, a Cardiology textbook will need to be revised in 4 years, maximum (and it will be already out of synch with medical literature, being more like a reference book).

How hard is it for Apple to install some hardware DRM chip on their hardware and also make you go online to unblock the OS?
You already have to unblock some software by going online (e.g., some IDEs, MATLAB, Maple, etc.)
Enjoy while you can.
Today's kids need and deserve the full package: multimedia.
You should change the Unix kernel hacker hat for the Squeak Smalltalk programmer hat.

In the future, resistance fighting will be about piggy-back riding on monitored internet traffic and fighting for the electromagnetic spectrum.
In response, in the future, they will outlaw crypto.

There are different types of prostitutes:
1) The exploited woman
2) The entrepreneur
Don't take my word for it. There's literature about this and there are accounts by type-2 ladies themselves.
We could perhaps add 2 more types:
3) The nice girl who'll only fuck someone based on his paycheck - eventually, she wants to marry him - she'll even fuck and old man who can't fuck.
4) The porn actress
Type 3 isn't generally considered a whore - but we all know she is.
Chances of society banning prostitution types 2, 3 and 4: zero.

That was definitely scary reading...
It's hopeless - security in Linux sucks.

R.I.P. Dr. DeBakey
and thank you.
I think it;s great that Microsoft used BSD code i their TCP stack at one time or another.
I think it made the world a safer place.
You have to be retard to submit your code to dual-licenser.
Wot? You make money and I can't?
It's called game-theory dude. I won't let you win unless I play the same rules (BSD).
So you're saying when they shit the GPL seeds grow?
Please answer me this: where is the source code for Real Time SuSE Linux? Because, try as I may, I can't find it.
In fact, let's how many source trees you can produce for those RTOSes you mention.
BTW, are you sure the RTOSes aren't playing the GPL loophole game - the real GLP loophole - the one where they dual license?

Oh, "the four freedoms."
The one and only freedom: take the code and do what you want with it.
You'll share when you see technical merits in sharing - when forking your code, when getting away from the community work gives you more trouble than it's worth.
You can read about it on any BSD license.
Gee, what a long process of brain-washin you've been through. That was hard, eh?
If only you had not been indoctrinated by "philosophy" (i.e., that moralist cult called the FSF) and head about the *BSDs...

It is time people start learning and using Freenet more.
Everywhere you look, politicos are pushing freedom-restricting legislation for the intertubes.
