Here is an example of unparalleled Fairness and Balance as exhibited by FOX news; brace yourself, world, The Netherlands are the home of the new Holocaust.
An exercise left to the reader is to spot all the inaccuracies and logical fallacies within. And yes, I do realize one story proves nothing; I'm just making a point.
Slyck.com is also down. Has their plug been pulled or are they experiencing too much traffic to handle?
Getting shut down would be strange since they neither host copyrighted-files nor have links to such material, but with the recent state of affairs I wouldn't be too surprised if they have also been sent a cease-and-decist order. ISONews were also shut down quite some time ago (if anyone remembers), even though they didn't link to any copyrighted material...
Spammers and anoyed people will continue to fight for a long long time.
Spammers spam because someone pays them to. Those who pay the spammers pay them because they think someone will buy the product being spammed. And so remains the question: who buys h3rb41 v14gR4? No, you aren't allowed to answer 'clueless (l)users' because, in my experience at least, even the most clueless will delete spam on sight. And anyway, will someone who just started to 'surf the web' even be able to read h3rb41 v14gR4?
This is great news. I love gMail and consequently all other things google, but Google Desktop Search has been a disaster. I originally posted this in google groups, but I feel I need to post it here as well.
I won't even start complaining about google only supporting programs I don't use (AIM? IE? Outlook?), as
it's still in beta and I represent a minority group anyway.
However I have several other problems...
1. When a a folder has the same name as my search term, google search
will display *all* files within that folder. For example if I search
for 'doom 3' it won't just list the files called 'doom 3' it will list
*all* the files in the doom 3 folder. It would be much more useful if
it would only display the folder once as a separate search result, and
then only display files called 'doom 3'
2. Inability to only search for filenames *only* - sometimes, or
actually most of the time, I want to find a specific file. I know I
have created important.doc but when I search for 'important' I get a
plethora of results featuring different documents / text files which
have the word 'important' within them. Windows' search has done this
nicely by giving me the ability to search for a 'all or a part of the
filename' and for 'a word or a phrase within the file'. I also have the
option to 'look in' which brings me to my next point
3. Inability to search within a folder - because sometimes it is
extremely useful to look for *.mp3 in my very disorganized
'thereShouldBeNoMusicHere' folder. Or to look for anything at all in a
drive different than C...
4. Wildcard searches - oftentimes I just can't remember how I've saved
the file. Was my presentation called group4project.ppt or group4.ppt or
G4.ppt? A simple search of *4*.ppt should find the file, where * is a
wildcard. Currently I can't do that.
5. Un-indexing of files - I just moved 500 files from my desktop to my documents. GDS has re-indexed them in My Documents. When I search for file.txt I get two results only one of which is valid. Of course, I can manually remove the invalid result from the index, but I really don't want to do it 500 times. Even if I can somehow magically get all the duplicate files on the same search, I can only remove them 10 at a time.
Until google resolves those issues (and I certainly hope they do), the
search integrated into Windows is more useful. I hope yahoo have made a better job than google on this one, I'm off to try it:)
Same here. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a TV due to the taxes I need to pay for having it + the space it takes in my already limited living space. I do have a tuner in my computer, but I still rarely watch TV. Movies found on the 'net are better than ones shown on TV *cough* and google news provides a greater variety of news than CNN.
Ice contains fresh water, and oceans contain salt water. The currents within those oceans depend on the salt/water ratio. You add water to the mix and those currents change. And when those currents change you're fucked.
Slashdotted? Here is the mirrordot link, here is the coral cache link, and in case all else fails, here is the google cache.
A slashdotting is no excuse to not RTFA, anymore;-)

Did google ever give an explanation as to why they were removed?
That was exactly the OP's point. But thanks for the clarification!

Fraud is already illegal. And the above is e-mail fraud, not spam.

BBC have more bandwidth than God. Slashdot is more likely to get BBCed than BBC is to get slashdotted. =)
Well, according to google it's actually Gmail :)

And when you search for T the first suggestion is Tara Reid. You might be onto something. ;)
I just tell everyone I'll 'bring out the GIMP' =)

Point taken, but barring blogs, why do the above reasons only count for teens?

I just compared slashdot to goatse. God help me.
On a related note, what happened to their browser statistics? Why were they discontinued?
