  1. Treepad on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 1

    well, if you have put up with enough abuse to read this far you deserve some sort of answer. Take a look at Treepad (www.treepad.com), it is available for both linux (native or via WINE) and windows and can export a subtree to html.

  2. different approach on Google to Continue Storing Search Requests · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Perhaps the solution to this problem is not to keep the data private, but to create a database that is meaningless. During idle time (nighttime, classtime, etc) a computer could run an automated search routine that would create search queries from perhaps, names from yellowpages.com, or topics from /. This would bury legitimate search data in a mountain of meaningless data, making the database virtually useless. Of course, it would have the same effect if for every legit search one performs via google he/she then performs three or four bogus searches. Wonder what law that would violate.
