So what is pluto? A planet or an asteroid? What about all the other objects we're discovering outside of Pluto? What about independant "planets" (i.e. objects very much like mars)?
The moon - something that impacts our lives daily. Mars - a bit of rock that has no impact on Earth's ecosystem, and could cause us to waste money on working on it instead of blowing ourselves up.
[sarcasm]Hmmm, you have a good point. I guess it's okay for you to blow up the moon.[/sarcasm]
The search for "lista Wildsteina" (Wildstein's list) sky-rocketed to 300,000 per day in the second most popular search engine in Poland (onet.pl) outperforming "sex" (former top query) by more than 30 times.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to do my darndest to help make sure this oversight is rectified.
It's illegal to provide maps now? Holy shit, I'm glad I don't live in America. (NOTE: No identifiable information of the owners has been made available on this map. It isn't a "here's where all the abortion doctors live" map.)
I remember reading about this in 2002. The problem was aligning the beam in the correct spot to read the data. If it was off just a little bit it completely missed the data. Has the error margin been increased?
You do realise they were planning PS3 when PS2 came out? These companies make money by upgrades. You don't release a product without thinking of what's next. Same with software.
I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 years time DNA-based computers become a reality, but companies hide this fact and continue to loose electronics until they can't make anymore improvements. Only then will the upgrade to DNA-based computers be made.
This is the dream app for me as a college student (I hate using PalmOS's default calender app). But whilever it doesn't install and syn on PalmOS (Tungsten E), it's useless to me as well.
Y!Q on the other hand gave me info on Bush consistently, with Faith Based Initaitives (probably related to the Gay Marriage Ban) and Muslims who like Bush (which while is about Bush, is of questionable relatedness. Although at least it's about Bush and could be related to religion and Iraq).
Highlight the text in a webpage, right click. You get "Search for " Sounds like the good folks at mozilla already have this feature.
Damn. Had I only read this page I could have saved myself the hassle of downloading another extension *sigh* I might as well compare them.
Let's see, State of the Union speech was used in the article, I'll just search for a news article on it. Aaah, here's one. I think the MPA would be an interesting thing to search.
I'll highlight that first page and use the "Search Web for" feature. Oh, it uses Google. Well I'll just change that to Y!Q. *after a few minutes* Well looks like I can't. Oh well, Google's good, I'm sure . Dang, that's useless.
I'll just highlight the header. Hmm, that is all about stuff from 2004, not the State of the Union speech. That definitely isn't what I wanted.
While I love Google and have been using it for years. Yahoo's latest efforts are quite interesting, and I think belittling them by saying "this has already been done" isn't very fair. As I demonstrated, Google doesn't come close with the ease of this new feature. Could I create a search query that would return as good if not better results? Probably. But I certainly can't do it by just highlighting text on a webpage. That is something Y!Q has done, and as time continues I guess we can only expect it to get better.
Firefox also has Yahoo Search embedded in it. Infact it provides the option for Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Dictionary.com and Creative Commons.
And only Google is searched via "Search Web." I tried to change this but had no luck (and had to download an extension to add Yahoo to the context menu). With Firefox having a special google page as the default homepage, google as the only engine possible to use in "Search Web" and google as the default in the search bar in the menu, all of which was done BEFORE google hired one of the Firefox developers, can we expect Firefox to quietly become Googfox?
I don't know about you, but I prefer my browser to not encourage me to use a certain product. Having everything by default for Google? Okay, that's fine. I can live with that. But having google-features that can't be changed to another search engine? That aint cool.
This is assuming I can't change "Search web" (I did a google on it and surprisingly found nothing).
Cant you already use google, specify the website or domain, and input your search request?
You don't understand what this is, this isn't google's "site:blahblah.com" feature, but Google's "related links" feature. This differs from Google's in that Yahoo is offering a plugin for websites.
But this is another step backwards for European National sovereignty.
I think European National sovereignty has a bigger problem then this. The fact that there is no nation that is recognised as "Europe" would probably be a big problem. There are numerous nations in Europe that have sovereignty, but that isn't the same thing as European National sovereignty:P

I don't know. That pervert across the street probably wouldn't mind one. Although I don't think it would be pointed into space....

Us Firefox users have to have something to waste it on.
I think we're safe from making Mars a desert. Call me strange, but I just have a feeling about this one.

I can't sell a map to a party that will be selling free beer.
That isn't because of law but because of common sense.

have you read it? I really liked the book
I did. It was certainly a fine piece of propaganda.
I guess you've never read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series. Now I'm no scientist, but to this layman it seemed plausible.
So if I can't adequately physically defend myself, is it my fault for being mugged? Of course not.
It's more a case of someone asking for your watch and you saying sure and giving it to them.

Hey, thanks a lot for that :) Have you got a link by any chance?

Then why did so many people say "Of course Firefox is buggy, it isn't at 1.0 yet." Are you saying Firefox is commercial software?
Isn't this the same as Same as Google's 'Similar Pages'?
Let's fine out. I did a google for "George W Bush" and found www.georgewbush.com/ so I clicked related. here are the results. Interesting. This came back with quite different results.
How about search for "state of the union" speech and click on a "related links" to one of the results?
Here is google's page.
. Certainly very different results. Which is more useful then the other? Depends why you're using it. Google gave me results concerning Bush's speech, but also a movie review on Farenheit 9/11 (definitely not useful) and some info about Queen Elizabeth's time (with no reference to Bush or the state of the union speech).
Y!Q on the other hand gave me info on Bush consistently, with Faith Based Initaitives (probably related to the Gay Marriage Ban) and Muslims who like Bush (which while is about Bush, is of questionable relatedness. Although at least it's about Bush and could be related to religion and Iraq).
Here is another comparison of Google and Y!Q and how Y!Q can be used in ways Google can't.
While Yahoo may not have better results if I am knowledgable enough to create good queries, this feature definitely wins in ease of use.
try and verbalize "Y!Q"
Why exclamation mark Q? It's a mouthful, but certainly nothing naughty....

Here's one last ditch effort which again failed.
Y!Q on the other hand was more then helpful.

Doesn't mention anything about selling my information. Only buying it.
And have fun using Gmail.

We have an IT group here
For the rest of us who can't afford to hire an IT group for our home, using non-IE browsers is the better option.
