  1. Re:well... on Yahoo Buying Inktomi · · Score: 2
    Well it looks like Inktomi includes "PAID INCLUSION" in their searches. I am thinking that means websites that pay INKTOMI will be ranked higher than ones who do not.

    Sounds pretty crappy to me just on that point.
    The web should be less money oriented and more people oriented. Let the people decide what is relevant to a particular search, and not a bunch of corporations directing your searches their way. Bullshit.

    I agree in many ways BUT..

    If there is a law that everybody breaks, that gives the police the ability to bust whomever they please, at their discetion. Thus it is a police state. In this situation, they can focus on minorities, people with warts, ex girlfriends etc. lol

    Seriously, most laws are like that. Everybody breaks the speed limit, and this allows the police to pull over anybody they care to pull over, legally. Thats why, in CA, they pull over mexicans who are driving the same way as the white guy in the lexus ahead of him.

    wHAT WE NEED ARE LESS LAWS THAT MAKE SENSE. 'Too many laws' + "masses of people ignoring the law' = discrimination. =class society. =assholes =poor getting poorer through fines =we are fucked.

    bad idea. and it wont happen.

    Corporations do not want the government to monitor their corporation.

    The gov-internet-monitoring staff might sell their corporate secrets to another company. corpoate espionage.

    no i dont fear that this will pass.

    I fear when corporations will monitor us completely, decide, and execute their laws how the corporations seem fit.

    so the monitor everything...Does that mean you in particular will be busted for something? No. They will ignore most of the broken laws on the internet, just as they do in real life. They will ignore them until the law enforcemnet decides they don't like you in particular. "Hmm.. we dont like J. Lee, lets find something to arrest him for. Ahaa, he's a MP3 thief, that will get him for a couple.

    How is this different than law enforcement on the street. Not much, except now they dont have to catch you in the act, But suddenly law enforcement has lots of data on you.

    No if they see you on slashdot, and you show up at one freedom rally, off you go.

    wrong. law, and justice, and your Rights, should have nothing to do with one's disposition. You might be able to get things if you are polite, but you should not be unfairly treated if you do not. And thats the main point. The laws should not be unjust.One should not have to depend on one's pursuasive powers, charisma, etc to ensure one's rights.

    But yeah its nice when people are polite. no problem there. but i dont want to be required to suck some airport-security-officer's dick, just so i would not be harrassed about buying an airplane ticket with the true American tender, CASH.the dollar bill. the greenback... to get back to the point...

    A slow down? Think of it this way. I might be wrong though

    Less advances in the speed of chips doesnt mean less demand for faster computers. Increases in software complexity, and gaming graphics will push the market toward the more powerful computers that ARE available. This would mean that the better hardware companies would be making the money. I think.

    Perhaps the slow down in the advancement of chip speed will drive more effort in making cheap parallel multiprocessor computations, like, dare I say it, Beowulf Clusters.
