    It is not just you, but this whole thread is full of clueless people. From the Internet Archive Faq: By placing a simple robots.txt file on your Web server, you can exclude your site from being crawled as well as exclude any historical pages from the Wayback Machine.

    Obl. bash.org quote:

    <Kupo> man
    <Kupo> Firefox can fuck itself
    <DarknessTear> It can? So THAT's what the Firefox logo is doing.

    From alicebot.org (almost ./-ed):

    Q: Do you agree with Dr. Wallace that politicians never seem to give a straight answer to a question?

    A: I have heard that opinion, but I would like to know more before I form my own.

    Mac could be the OS Monopoly if it only started to port its stuff to the PC Platforms.

    Apple will not port Mac OS X to non-Apple hardware. There are two obvious reasons:

    1. Apple makes money selling hardware, not operating systems. Enabling people to run OS X on hardware not made by Apple will bankrupt Apple.
    2. Mac OS X is so easy to install and reliable because it needs only to support a limited set of hardware parts.

    But then again, why should one system have a monopoly? Some five years ago we had to choose between three (groups of) operating systems that were seriously flawed:

    • Windows was unreliable and had an inferior command line.
    • MacOS was unreliable and did not have a command line at all.
    • Unix had an ugly user interface and could only be used by nerds.

    Nowadays we can choose between three pretty good operatings systems: Windows + Cygwin, MacOS X, Linux + KDE or GNOME. If we are lucky enough to maintain this healthy competition, perhaps some day there will be a Linux system my mother can use and a Windows system that I want to use (but I'll probably still use Mac OS X).
