    Personally I use the modify headers extension to do the same thing. But I have "I am not a Googlebot/2.1", rather then the full Googlebot string. But I sometimes come across pages that say something along the lines of "You appear to be pretending to be a major search engine when you are not", for those pages I change the header to "I DIDN'T CLAIM TO BE A MAJOR FUCKING SEARCH ENGINE". Yeah, cause everyone logs teh headers.

    Wouldn't it be great if we could create aliases for our files (which get updated automatically when we move the files around) and organise these in various ways to suit different work-flows, and multiple people being able to access these files simultaneously. Also being able to add tags and other meta-data and be able to search by these might be useful. Oh, some kind of automated version control would be good too.

    Somewhat OT but I'm dying to know, if you're really in China that is. Recently the Global Language Monitor rated the top Chinglish translation as a sign - in a Beijing railway station IIRC - saying "Question Authority", meaning ask the guy in a uniform if you have any questions, I think they meant "Information Kiosk". Anyway, they didn't back up their claim with a pic and I can't find one on-line. Supposedly they are replacing all the Chinglish signs with properly translated ones in time for the Olympics. It'd be a shame if no-one documented this before it's gone.

    Without any output it doesn't prove concurrent execution. It could just be a garden variety infinite loop, albeit one with an indirect execution path. You want output, how's this for output?

  20. Re:Lazy parents. on Connecticut Wants to Restrict Social Networking · · Score: 1

    When I was a kid, my parents told me not to do stupid things, and then (for the most part) left me alone. They didn't scream in my ear to stay away from drugs. Far from it. My dad said they felt great ... then he went through all the withdrawl symptoms. He told me which ones were probably best left alone, and which probably wouldn't do anything to you at all - despite what the DARE officer may say. He, of course, said he would prefer me not to do drugs, and they should never be in the house, but my life was mine to screw up as I please. To this day, I have not done any drugs. I have immense respect for the trust my parents placed in me, and that alone kept me more in line than any punishment I can remember. Very sound advice. My friends parents said pretty much the same except that he should experiment at home under their supervision if he wanted to - much better to fuck-out with someone straight and responsible around to help - he never seemed interested in trying them either. Fortunately I still have a fair few years to decide how to broach the sex/drugs thing with my kids.

    From memory, setTimeout forms a time-delayed but synchronous entry into the execution stream, you will not get two threads in the same javascript code pile running simultaneously, the timeout will not fire until the execution stream is idle. Uh-uh, it has its own execution context. You can absolutely run timed out functions concurrently. Try this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
        function bomb ( ) {
            setTimeout ( function ( ) {
                    bomb ( );
                    bomb ( );
                }, 0 );
        }
        bomb ( );

  23. Re:Doesn't work; Good (kind of) on Googlebot and Document.Write · · Score: 1

    I thought I remember a while ago about some search engine using intelligence to ignore hidden text (text with the same or a similar color as the background). Of course the easy work around for that is to use an image for your background and then that may fool the bot, but who knows, they could code to accomidate that too. You could use OCR to detect that (and to index images used for text content).

    Also, wouldn't that allow one an opportunity to fork-bomb the googlebot then as well? JavaScript doesn't have fork AFAIK. The setTimeout function can do a similar thing.
