"Christ, they couldn't get enough young people out to vote for the heinous George Bush last year."
Just to set the reconrd straight, there was a huge turnout of "new voters" in the last election. But the other issue was the large turnout of Religious Right voters as well. Thus making the influcence of young voters far less noticable.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I was under the impression that google ranks its search results based on popularity not $$. So Louie V can't buy their way to the top of the search results (Except for placed ads).
Under this impression I find it hard to believe that they could consider the results of a search to be considered part of their "product placement". That is like saying two billboards that are across the street from each other with competing brands is illegal.
I completely agree. Telling ads apart from search results is easy, and I have no idea how ANYONE could have trouble with it.
On the search results page there are ads on a blue section, that clearly have the label "Sponsored Links" and then there are ads to the right of the search results which are also clearly labeled "Sponsored Links". How much clearer can they get?
Just go search for any random Rom, porn, or warez site on google in IE. You'll have yourself enough popup messages in 5 minutes to last you a life time.;)
I'm fairly sure no one is worried about screwing Micro$oft, AOHell, Yahoo, or ICQ out of a couple of bucks...lol.
And yes, I tried to think of a negitive name change for Yahoo or ICQ but I just couldn't.
I used 2.x for the longest time, and I don't know how anyone could find the UI confusing. Unless you have the same confusion when using all other standard Windows toolbars/UI's.
The layout is clean, simple, and straight forward. If the default UI is honestly that much of a problem there are 1,000s of different skins you can get for it (For free) as well as a couple variations of the orignal skin already included (thin mode, tabbed mode, default mode).
Everytime I go to Fry I get great help from anyone I ask. More often then not, if I need help in a specific area (eg. cables) I'll end up getting directed to the guy in change if that very section of the store.
I've had nothing but good experieces at Frys.
Wow, anyone who pays $30 for a 2gb email is crazy. I hope that is for a year, and not per month. If your paying $30 a month, you could have just bought a 20GB HD to store your mail on.
lol...Wow, makes me want to try pulling that off on some guys I know.
They are suck WinBlowz loves that it would be great to see if they noticed, plus could make a few bucks on an inner-office betting pool.:^O

Does M$ Windows itself count? heh

Just had to get my 2 cents in there...

I've used IE twice since I installed windows on this machine. Once to DL firefox, and a second time to get SP2.
Between just those two website, the 3rd time I tried to run IE I already had a browser hijacker and a slew of junk added to my IE favorites.
So either you're one lucky, lucky man...or your an M$ fanboy.

And the pictures are where?
He is clearly to busy not running a country to actually post. It was clearly submited by some intern. ;-)
links is on the cd, but no bittorrent client. Just DL the stage tarballs with links off any of the numerous mirrors., they will be done in no time.
That would be a great element to add to the game. Add some realism, plus create new strats...Sounds like a good idea to me.

Well I thought it was funny...

*drool* Hmm...I can think of a few uses for that.
/me prints and takes to school, snickering evilly
Personally when I spent some time kicking around and toying with the idea of running a mud, I used the ROM codebase or the 1stMUD codebase.
Both have a decent set of ingame building tools, and both can be played on right from setup...Also stable as hell.
