About 12:00 am Central Time, at least when I saw it, Google changed it's face
The time sounds just about right. I was paging through a search at about 15 sec/page, hit the next button and went "wtf is this?" I figured I'd hit a wrong link or had accidentally searched with goofle or noogle or doodle or something, looked at the url, hit the back button, turned off evil javascript, tried again and finally decided that they had changed their look.
The strange thing is that I feel like I've seen the look before and I believe that looks like a previous face of alltheweb , who also changed their look a while ago.
While Mr. Andreessen (note to editors - 2 s's really are sufficient), sings the praises of open source, he also sings the praises of source of the out kind.. Of course, that's where he makes his money, right?
Forcefully taking money for a service that I did not require and may never use
Ironically, I think that we are both on the same side on the issue.
is certainly not capitalism.
Something that is not textbook "responsible capitalism for dummies" is not de facto socialism as your previous post insinuated. The particular levy issue is a case of aberrant capitalism wherein corporate consortium has exerted enough influence on government as to institutionalize the expropriation of wealth from individuals (by a government acting as an agent of the corporations) to enrich corporations whose dated business models are failing.
What would you call forcefully taking money from everyone just to support the actions of certain people?
Bush tax cuts.
By the way, notice how I managed to write the above without any argumentum ad hominem?
Your original post was a sly attempt to disparage a great country ad populus, an action to which this particular hominem takes serious umbrage.
Less it be misconstrued by those acquainted only with binary viewpoints: I am not anti-capitalist - I live and work in and benefit from the capitalist system. But there needs to be a balance. A sad fact of the human condition is that too much power in any one group's hands leads to their abuse of those with less power.
Welcome to socialism, my friend, where the main service the state provides you with is lightening your wallet.
Congratulations on the most pathetically disingenuous kneejerk statement that I have read at Slashdot all week. Last time I checked money levied from individuals and supplied to corporations = pure capitalism, not socialism. Dimwit.
You can't copyright your name. You HAVE copyright over your work, such as a book, or a writing without having to pay or do anything.
I can't whether you're suggesting that a name cannot be copyrighted (lawyers for the mouse from Anaheim would disagree) or is copyrighted by default (I'm certain that John Smith would find it is not). But my real name is unique (no, "Unique" is not my real name) and I believe that it might be possible to copyright it. Perhaps I could write a book with just my name as the text and copyright that. Failing that, maybe I could create and sell something under my name and register my name as a trademark.
Then I could sue anyone who used it (in a marketing database, for example) without my permission.
... information continues to exist -- bound up in a giant tangle of strings that fills a black hole from its core to its surface
Like the WWW? So, finding information trapped in a black hole sounds like a job for... (ta-daa)...: Black Hole Google! Boldly going where no search engine has gone before...
...there's another format that's consumer friendly and sounds better to boot.
Obviously the new format won't affect the legacy, but it might pollute the waters.
History lesson: Anybody here remember.arc ? Probably not - when its owners flexed their tiny muscles, it disappeared in a.zip. Yes, I know it was for different reasons, but the point is that in this digital age, things can adapt in a flash.

Never mind, after proof-reading the foregoing sentence I can see that Arial would be utterly undesirable to the government. Have they looked at Dingbats?

I'm sorry, but I had to do it just once.

I read it the same way and wondered whether the recent addition of the @ symbol to Morse Code was the catalyst.

I'm not sure what it should be called, but if it ever catches on, about 3 years later it will suck and be called "Microsoft News".

I just wanted to bring the thread back on topic. I wonder if anyone will get it.
Now one of the pages you linked to is "Temporarily Unavailable". Sounds like a cover-up to me. That proves that something must be going on.
