Google ranks is clever like that. As if the first page in the pile has a low rank, it gives off an even smaller part of this to the next page. Now, if a BIG blog which was very popular joined this, it would effect maybe 1 or 2 tiers down but after this yet again its gone.
This means only the BIG blogs can stay at the top, and anyway when googling, how many blogs do you click?
I know i never click any, not by habit but because there is none there. I guess this is due to the almost randomness of the infomation contained therein.
Oh and so you know im not bshitting about what i know about google, my sites listed top for djsmiley, djsmiley2k, tim bowers, and a few other terms... The method? Add sensible content, add adwords, and add links to all my bookmarks.
At first when someone does something different google ranks tend to end up ranking it highly, but as soon as everyone catches on, it drops again to a normal level.
"The way I have seen linux boxes usually set up is they work along in user mode and when someone needs new software they either switch to root to install it or get an admin to do it. Windows should be able to do the same. "
They can, its just little used or known about. Simply right click the install file, "Run as..." and you can type your admin username and p/w and your away, it installs as if run by the administrator.
However, i must point out that i run my machine constantly in administator mode for the hell of it, i even let my brother on it. Why? Because its pretty much secure. My hardware firewall + combo of firefox and ad-aware SE edition work well to make sure im covered. Also got AVG running as well.
The adverage gamer DOESN'T care what O/S hes running, as long as it runs as good as he wants it. What linux wants is many things but two stick out mostly to me. Remmber, adverage gamer is not Computer nerd (normally 12yr olds if you watch the news about Grand Theft Auto!).
1. Linux must be EASY to use. 2. Linux must run games BETTER than windows.
Its upto the shop to decide if they wish to buy the product from me.
Btw i've also heard stories about in this city (we have lik 10game shops!!!) where people have brought games on offer in one shop, and then sold them in the shop down the road making money...
The shops realised and yet still kept doing it to keep the customers happy.
Anyone else think this is ott, and gonna cause paranoid problems?
I mean, accessing it from you Cellphone? How much you actually going to be able to see? You going to run home everytime theres some kind of movement outside? Could be some one breaking in.... or could just be next doors cat.
How about just get one that will take a pic every time there is movement, then if someone DID break in, you would have pictures of who it was, plus insurance company can't say you didn't take enough steps.
Having this kind of over the top access is what causes people to become paranoid and do stupid things. "I can't drive more than 10 miles from my house incase someone breaks in and i have to rush back"...
Relax, get a cam to take the pics, but dont be so worried about monitoring them...

There is some regional stuff, such as news.
Also in wales (and i guess scotland and Ireland) there is shows which have the countrys language as apposed to english. (i.e. welsh, irish, scotish).

i know theres loads of people who like to "boast" they dont watch tv, but i wont take this attitude.
To be honest i watch about... 8hours/week, this is due to times when im stuck at my girlfriends house, and she and her whole family are watching soaps, and i cannot be arsed to go and play on the computer and be "unsociable". (not that im ever told this is what im doing, but you know).
So i end up watching pointless, stupid television which really DOES make me want to do something else. I guess this is a good thing?
I mean, i watch tv some times, there is some kool shows on sometimes late at night, or maybe when im bored ill watch a quiz show or something, but i really can't grasp the soaps, and reality tv thing. Only reason i can see why it attracts people, is that their own lives are so BORING!. I guess they must find joy someway, and this is watching people do things, instead of actually doing them, themselfs.
People then bring up the view that i watch stuff that appears on TV, on my computer. Well in fact i watch very few tv programs on my computer, and the ones i do are normally screened stupidly late at night, or not screened at all, so the only way i could view them was via computer. Also i watch some films but i get to choose what i want (Plus no news breaks).
Am i psycho? Nope, i think im selective and i tend to make sure i watch what i want, when i want, as apposed to watching something to replace having to do real life.
Final point, TV never strifes to be realistic, it doesn't need to, People would be bored stupid if the stuff that happened in Soaps was anywhere near as boring as real life can be. However, computer games must strife to be realistic, this is part of the point they are brought. So if some stupid idiot ended up thinking a game is real, hasn't it acchived its objective?
If you dont mod this up you have gotta be as brain dead as the guy who tried it.
I mean seriously, parent is right. If you really really needed some space that bad, record some damn CDs?
Anyway how fast he manage to upload them? Surely it would of taken a few hours and STILL nasa took how long?
If your gonna hack someone for some space, why not try on a few of these v.cheap web hosting companys, i've heard enough people who tried this and ended up helping out the company, maybe even with jobs. (yes i know its an urban ledgend, but it really happened to my mate and the fucker put MY name on the site he "owned").
Peace out and watch out the whitehouse, some kids need space for their games...
To be honest im used to many many products not having any instructions at all now, due to the fact that the manufacturer KNOWS that people wont read them.
Best way round this i ever saw was in the FF games, i think it was FF7 where was you played for the first few hours, it actually taught you the instructions. Only problem was there wasn't a way around it so every replay you would end up learning the same things again.
I know its not possible for simpler objects like microwaves etc, or even most computer hardware. But somethings (such as TVs and Video Recorders) should make use of this i think.
I was going to post this, but wouldn't want to be redundent.
The flaw is with CD's them selfs, they were created so perfectly that even when you do copy them, if you do it correctly no sane person can claim they can hear a difference.
Why are the record companys so scared of this, to be honest we have all heard the various stories about how they losing money etc etc. But does anyone think its far deeper than this?
Imagine that all the record labels knew of a newer technology, which we could use, which would never allow anyone to do this to it, which would ONLY ever store audio and nothing else. Now imagine they dont want us the notice it, so instead they put up this unbelivable fight against CDs.
Can they build copy protection onto Mini Disks? My pc can control my 5cd stereo and has optical out which it can control a MD player too. I could easily write something that would rip the CDs, and then copy said music to my MD player. The stereo would see it as a CD and not take any notice of protection. The MD player just sees line in.
So many ways around this stupid for them to try and stop us. Maybe they want us to do it this way, so we dont try doing it another way? Another way which once we discover it we will find its SO much better!?
Weird one this but i've heard it used when i was at college in the UK....
Everytime a problem came up which the IT staff COULD fix instantly but couldn't be arsed to because we were just "lowly" firstyears then they would say "Oh its a bug, you will have to work around it".
And that was it, we could ask if they were planning to fix it, and they would claim they are waiting for a new version of the software. Shame is in this day and age, people EXPECT bugs, so much so that when one causes a problem, they find away around it.
I think that was a legal thing? I've heard something like that in the UK, where you can't offer a job or something to anyone inside the business without advertising it or some crap.
Sorry had to be done, but on a more serious note people are saying about the cost of using these, you seem to be totally ignoring the point that they are much cooler... wonder where they could be used now?
Crap. Before anyone flames i mean from the windowsupdate.com site, and not having to go into the m$ site and download each and every patch one by one (i think you could prob do this, but i seem to remmber GDI one isn't availbie this way?)

Really? I disagree....

The shops realised and yet still kept doing it to keep the customers happy.
Once brought a second hand game in a shop for £10....
Returned it like a year later to another shop... got £14 cash for it (they dont normally give cash, but discounts on existing stock!!).
