Maybe it could just save your top hit, so it will be more useful as a launcher. Everytime I want to launch Safari I have to type Safari in and wait for it to search the whole hard drive for Safari stuff until it finds the application again for the 40 millionth time. Same goes for when I search for a paper I've been working on for the past two weeks. Each time I type in "geography" it searches the whole damn hard drive for the paper it's found the last dozen times.
Just remember what I click on when I search for a given string, and if I search for the string again, return that path immediately before the rest of the search ensues. Sheesh.
Articles are path dependent. You couldn't strip out the edits in the middle by users you don't trust, because all the later edits were based on those made by untrusted editors. Plus, there are 100,000+ Wikipedians on the English encyclopedia alone. Lots have only a few edits within a few specific areas of knowledge; you would never have enough time or sample size to determine all the editors you trusted or didn't trust.
Yeah, they looked into it more deeply and found that apparently what happened is that googlebombs originally weren't supposed to work, but through some kind of glitch in the algorithm, they still got a pagerank bump.
So they just went ahead and fixed the glitch. Googlebombs won't be receiving a pagerank bump, so it'll just work itself out naturally. Google always likes to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from their end.
Economics, the only science where ethics and morality are thrown out the window.
You might try reading Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments which is the humanist moral/ethical foundation upon which he based The Wealth of Nations.
Wtf are you talking about? I don't think anyone believes that's the "American philosophy." Home ownership is at 69% or higher--a better rate than at any time in the last 40 years. If landlords foot the electric bill then there certainly is an incentive to install efficient lights. If the renter foots the electric bill, there's still an incentive to install efficient lights.
I'd mod you down, but there's no "-1, Some Jackass Jumping To Conclusions"
You know, I had an idea like that once. A long time ago. It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mod. You see, it would be this mod input that you would put on the bottom of each comment, and it would have different conclusions available in it that you could jump to.
Perhaps the pediatrician should pay attention to the mob. But, when discussing whether inequality/pediatrics matters, it would be incorrect to locate blame on the rich/pediatricians unless they're actually doing something wrong (rigging the system/diddling little kids).
Right, communism, socialism, fascism: all work by centralizing power. The whole liberal project of Smith, Ricardo, Locke, Montesquieu, Mill was to decentralize power. Competitive capitalism is a great way to do that, it just relies on Congress not rigging the game when paid off by rich assholes. So inequality is not the problem, it's corruption and rigged systems that are.
I wish the Democrats luck in sorting this out, but I'm not holding my breath that they'll do any better. They just rig the system for their favored groups, as opposed to the Republicans' favored groups. Bleh.
Online bookmarking, live rss feeds, the built-in spell-checking... these have all helped my productivity. Finding stuff is easier, reading stuff is easier, my internet experience is more pleasant.

So what? We're talking about the psychology/sociology of crime. It is the perceived disparity and unfairness that matters, regardless of underlying economics.
I suppose, but people feeling envious of others isn't really a good reason to scrap a whole system. Envy is your own problem, not the problem of people doing well. If the system itself is rigged, then something ought to be done. But just because someone perceives it to be unfair because they don't have the same end result as some millionaire doesn't mean anyone should pay them any attention.
True, and if there is no socialism all wealth consolidates via the wealth condensation principal until we're living in a totalitarian system.
This is a nice bit of propaganda. Socialism is a system that concentrates material production factors under government control, i.e. it is a system that concentrates wealth in the hands of a few. I'm sure you'd be extremely happy to see the key factors of production nationalized and concentrated in the hands of Bush and Cheney. The more socialism there is in the system, the more centralized control over the economy will exist.
The better solution is: the more competition there is in the system, the less chance there will be for wealth to concentrate. That means trust-busting, no socialism, and removing barriers to entry in the market (like Congressional subsidies to farmers and corporate welfare).
Just a note: this quote is a nice piece of propaganda use against the French queen. It was "misattributed" to Marie Antoinette, i.e. she never said it.
Not long, but they'll wait until they're sure that widescreen video iPods won't cannibalize their iPhones until the iPhones are established and have built a momentum of their own. A widescreen video iPod could undermine the motivation for people who simply want widescreen video iPod functionality to buy the iPhone (which is essentially a souped-up Nano). The 80 GB (or probably 100 GB by that time) true video iPod will come out once the sales target (1% of mobile phones = 10 million units) for iPhones will no longer be threatened.
It's pretty clear that Apple will come out with a Video iPod based on the iPhone design, but featuring the 80 GBs that the current Video iPods have. It'll probably take a year so that they don't kill their iPhone sales in the cradle. But it's basically clear that this interface will take over the iPod line model-by-model after the iPhone has had a chance to establish itself and gain some momentum.
I felt the same way when I saw what the iPhone actually was. I remembered reading through all those comments saying "I just want a phone to be a phone, Apple will do the phone UI right and leave off all the distractions."
Well, that's not exactly what they got is it? Where are all the "I just want a phone" people now? Are you disappointed, or has the iPhone won you over?
Luxembourg is a buffer state. Its own army does not protect it. The mutual threat of armies in France and Germany protect it. Neither Germany nor France would willingly accept the other swallowing up Luxembourg.

An embassy is territory of sealand too.
Nitpick: embassies are not the territory of the foreign country. They are under the jurisdiction of the foreign country. So embassies in the United States are still United States territory, but they are under foreign jurisdiction, not the jurisdiction of the United States.
The more expensive the item, the larger profit margin.
This doesn't seem right. Wal-Mart's entire business strategy is to sell cheap commodity goods, and play hardball with manufacturers to lower prices even further. One doesn't see a whole lot of high-priced items in Wal-Mart to begin with, almost as a rule--the whole point of going to Wal-Mart is to *not* get anything expensive. I think your reasoning on this point is off.
Not really. There's very little about Nixon that fits either the neocon mold or the mold of their various heroes. Nixon was a liberal Christian--a Quaker--rather than an observant Jew or Christian like the neoconservatives. He adopted a policy of decline (along with Kissinger) rather than one of a powerful, resurgent America like Reagan or Bush. In fact, the neoconservatives are explicitly against the kind of Nixon/Kissinger realism, eschewing it for a "muscular idealism." (That Kissinger has being advising the current White House says less about any neocon affinity for realism than it does Kissinger's characteristic position as an indiscriminate courtier to power.) In domestic policy Nixon was also quite liberal, doing little if anything to undo LBJ's Great Society policies, and pursuing conservationism quite actively. The division within the Republican party between the Nixon/Ford wing and the Reagan wing, and the neocons taking the Reagan wing side, has been a defining characteristic of the rise of the neocons.
If you had stayed at the party till 11:00 (the point at which they wheeled the rather large fake cake into the room), you would have found out what the 25 one-dollar bills were used for (when she leapt out of the cake). Cheers!
