    You're correct. And I was going for Funny mods. :P

    That's just because Yahoo has faded away from the spotlight. It could be Yahoo, but Microsoft is the one who *really* wants Google to fall, because if Google doesn't fall, Microsoft can't push M$-only solutions.

    It's quite obvious who's doing it. Just look at who has the most to gain from Google falling.

    Microsoft.

    That's why they're busily copying every "portal" feature from their superior competitor.
    Maybe that part of Yahoo is better than what Google has, but in most places, Google's offering is better. Email, for example. How much space did Yahoo offer before Gmail? 10 megabytes. How much space does Gmail offer as opposed to Yahoo? Google has over twice as much. And feature-wise? Gmail wins hands-down.

    The cost of spam is much more than than the time hitting "delete".

    Their cookie expires in 2038,
    *sigh* Google's cookie is only used for the Zeitgeist and such. It cannot be linked to any personal info.
    they block freedom-related sites in China,
    Would you rather Chinese users not be able to use Google at all? Because that's the alternative.
    they never delete your email
    Yes they do. You just send it to the trash and click "delete forever" from there.
    and they pirate other people's contents (without consent) using the Google cache.
    That I'll concede to you because I don't know enough about that.
    These are some of the things we *know*. Then there are those other other things that we don't.
    You put "other" there twice.

    You can do this with Monad as well. I can simply send the output of any monad command directly to the console window, just like you would if it were text, and it will output it using a default text output mode.
    You must not know what a tee is. A tee is a program that takes in input and cats it to standard output and a file at the same time
