  1. The point of a search algorithm: Relevant results? on The Rise of Filter Bubbles · · Score: 1

    I was always under the impression that the point of a using Google, or Yahoo, or Bing was to bring you results relevant to what you're searching for. Are we really wanting search providers to insert non-relevant information into our search results? I personally think that would significantly reduce the utility of their services.

  2. Re:OSS To The Rescue? on PKWare Files a Patent Application for Secure .zip · · Score: 1

    7-zip, I've been using this for quite a while. It works just as well as "Winzip" but is free and supports more formats. The wonder of Open Source Software!!!

  3. You can get a the images here... on Panther Analysis Getting Underway · · Score: 1

    Thinksecret Panther (OS 10.3) Images I'm not certian how much bandwidth I have to this location so it may not work if too many people download it. (So if someone could .Torrent it?)

  4. For those that don't have NYTimes accounts.... on Justin Frankel Resigns From Nullsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    The text of the first page...

    Jediism is not the same as that which is portrayed within the Star Wars Saga by George Lucas and Lucasfilm LTD. George Lucas' Jedi(TM) are fictional characters that exist within a literary and cinematic universe. The Jedi(TM) discussed within this website refer to factual people within this world that live or lived their lives according to Jediism, of which we recognize and work together as a community to both cultivate and celebrate. Jedi(TM) Apprentices, Knights, Commanders, Scholars, Masters, Scribes and High Councilors embrace Jediism as a real living, breathing religion, and sincerely strive to seek out and emulate real life examples of Jediism in the long rich history of mankind. Jediism bases less of its focus on myth and fiction, and more upon those real life examples of Jediism.

    The history of the path of Jediism traverses thought which is well over 5,000 years old. It shares many themes embraced in Hinduism, Confucionism, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Stoicism, Catholicism, Taoism, Shinto, Modern Mysticism, the Way of the Shaolin Monks, the Knight's Code of Chivalry and the Samurai Warriors. We recognize that many times the answers to mankind's problems comes from within the purified hearts of genuine seekers of truth. Theology, philosophy and religious doctrine can facilitate this process, but we believe that it would be a futile exercise for any belief system to claim to hold all the answers to all the serious questions posed to seekers of truth in the 21st century. Jediism may help facilitate this process, yet we also acknowledge that it is up to the true believer who applies the universal truths inherent within Jediism to find the answers they seek.

    Anyway, check it out for yourself.
