I agree - there's no such thing as objectivity on the net.
Another factor is that the database Google has is likely to be a lot larger, which means that there's a lot more noise in it, which in turn means that the user needs to refine the search better to get rid of some irrelevant noise. But what's irrelevant - that's for the user to determine.
So "effective" is a useless statement. It all depends on what the user looks for.
Add to the flaw that when searching - it may be that what you searched for was in the search summary and in that case you never needed to access the web page itself.
A lot of macrocosmos presentation in science is built on assumptions, those assumptions are made, tested against what can be observed and then put in place for the time being. But even though the math and observations works using the assumption it doesn't mean that the assumption is right. It may be challenged from time to time with different theories. Sometimes a different theory appears that is equally good and then there is a race to really see which theory that's the best.
The first point of protest should be the BART office, not the public transport channels they operate. If the employees of the head office are prevented from entering/leaving that will leave a considerable impact in the news too. Serve the protests to those that are responsible.
You can never be sure that "Anonymous" is the same group of people every time, it can be different groups with different and even conflicting interests.
And then there are professional rioters that rides on any suitable group just for the pleasure of destruction - those rioters should be brought to justice by their victims.
It depends on the distance to the base station which alternative that is the best. At long distance and where there are interference caused by trees and buildings 2G is better since the lower bit rate isn't as easily corrupted.
Just watch Max Headroom and you can see what the web can/will be (The use of a trojan is actually in that series made in '85 as well as a lot of other stuff).
Add some Gibson and you have the rest. There are a lot of other Cyberpunk authors that also provides interesting stuff that can be seen as prior art.
And the concept of the water bed is in public domain since it was described by Heinlein before it was common, so Science Fiction can definitely be seen as prior art. Time to start reading if you suffer from a lawsuit then.
And the deep-frozen yellow garden hose - that's something to have a love/hate-relationship to. Add a DELNI to it too. (I have one somewhere together with a dot matrix printer with serial interface)
That's my experience from the US in general - as soon as you leave the main routes you are on your own and best guess to where the road you encounter goes. Maybe I'm spoiled since where I live in Sweden even two houses and a church is enough to have a sign naming the place.
Next generation GPS:es should have options where interest points for a route could be added in form of scenic, shopping, etc. Then let the driver decide what scores that are interesting and their weight.
Of course - also information about dangerous areas should be put out to avoid car jackers or other obnoxious stuff.
It all depends on if you want to travel fast or if you want to have an experience.
Setting the GPS on shortest route gives you an interesting way, but you may want to avoid gravel roads in some cases or you end up in someone's back yard. It could be overly interesting in some cases - especially since GPS:es doesn't care about private roads.
And you are always free to alter the route whenever you like and still reach the goal.
I have found stuff that I never would have found otherwise if I hadn't been going by the shortest route. And speed may not be an issue either. I have a friend that has vacations where some days are travel days and other days are transport days. Travel days - that's the days where you see things, an you may end up traveling only a few miles that day. Transport day is when you need to catch a ferry or similar.
That's probably the most informative and insightful text for a long time on/. - and servers are set up when needed and are assumed to either be moved later or set up for a few locals in the beginning because the central servers aren't really supporting the local people. Over time they become permanent.
Anonymous was hacked by Anonymous, and then the message was posted.
But I would never notice if Facebook was down or not, it's similar to Siberia to me - I know that it exists and I can visit it but it's nothing special.
I don't see a problem with him competing as long as the legs he uses aren't providing him with extra power. As long as he's only using his own power to propel him I think that he's doing it great.
It is today a disadvantage enough in society to have a handicap. And it's hardly likely that extreme runners will chop off their legs just to be able to compete better.
Actually - when riots occur - shut down the mobile phone networks and allow only emergency calls. That would be limiting the ability for people to communicate, but especially those that are roaming around rioting.
It's time for a general curfew starting at 6pm and revoked at 6am for two months if the rioters doesn't stop.
Latest news is that plastic bullets are to be used by the police.

Interesting choice of words - and since the star is some 750 light years away it seems unlikely that it would be orbiting.
Unless someone has invented the warp drive.
But in that case it would encapsulate the star - not circle it.
No, it's just someone's soot dump from when they cleaned their fireplace.
And if so - is it named Pixel?

And back in the 80's there was systems that was up and running a lot faster since the core was in PROM. Availability within a second.
But for some reason IBM and Microsoft was never really willing to go the fast and friendly path.

I suspect that it has a lot to do with the Shannon–Hartley theorem.

Beat the meat based on what you find on the internet would also have happened. Before www got big it was on FTP and FSP sites.
Since Gopher existed before the web we know it as of today there was prior art. It would just have been a different implementation.
The fact that Gopher died was because www took off and Gopher was commercial protocol.
Knock-Out gas is one way - or start a water shower. People tends to cool down when they get wet.
Or tear gas instead. That is also a party-killer.
I must be spending too much time on the internet since I did read the statement as "Like information about trolls".
Not that there's much of a difference.

Pre GPS - that's when you look at the sun and the stars to estimate your direction.
Next generation GPS:es should have options where interest points for a route could be added in form of scenic, shopping, etc. Then let the driver decide what scores that are interesting and their weight.
Of course - also information about dangerous areas should be put out to avoid car jackers or other obnoxious stuff.
