... who feels like Google results have gotten really, really bad?
I know it can come in waves as the SEO arms race progresses, but srsly. I feel like Google's user base has shifted from technical people to the average populace, and so have the results.
The web stack needs a rewrite. Maybe a protocol and 'markup' language that aren't designed for documents.
Furthermore, they keep trying to address developers needs by adding new communications features, but it would really be nice to just have udp for christ's sake. Perhaps they need to create a couple transport level protocols that address the security concerns keeping them from giving scripts access to udp/tcp.
I'll add that it isn't so much that they are "anal" or obsessed with detail. That's a means to an end only. The root of it is something harder to define that I call "playing the hostile audience". As in, they don't like what you said and that bothers them, especially if it really is the truth and the facts back it up so they can't just easily contradict it. So now they've got to justify their disdain and they do that by finding something wrong, however trivial, and playing that up as much as they can.
Notice that he does not say "I just realized that [our political system is fucked]", he says "Most americans don't know that [our political system is fucked]". That is a genuine concern that could be addressed by a PR campaign.
"Lefties have a tendency to believe they're being discriminated against when they're really just occasionally not taken into consideration on accident."
I dunno man. DS games may be one thing (and from what I read, all the game requires is tapping? If you can't tap a stylus with your off hand, you could use a little ambidexterity training!), but try writing on the front side of paper in a 3-ring binder or spiral bound notebook! That is a real pain in the ass (especially considering the number of teachers who specified exactly what type of paper-holding device to use).
If you go out in public, chances are you will end up in the background of some teenager's Facebook photos.
What we need is OPEN circuit surveillance: citizens can then effectively provide neighborhood watch services on their own.
Society+: 1) Open surveillance in public areas 2) No organized enforcement against unorganized crime: Obviously you and I can't keep down the mob, but if a camera were around, I could track down that meth head who took my bike wheel and get it back! Same thing goes for any other interpersonal crime, as well as crimes involving reckless endangerment (i.e., if you drive drunk, the community will know).
Sony's "core" audience has already abandoned them for jobs and taking care of their families, and it is time to get a new one (i.e. focus on the kids, who can be easily won over with a couple marketing dollars and a hip spokeskid)
The google translation is reasonably clear, and the last bullet point provides for what you are talking about:
Any unit or individual that Baidu search through links to third-party Web page content may be suspected of infringing the right of communication of their information network should be promptly notified to the rights of Baidu in writing and provide proof of identity, ownership and detailed proof to prove infringement. Baidu after receipt of the above legal documents, will be broken as soon as possible according to the law related links content. For details, see specific channel of the copyright statement.

Rofl! I recall reading about the RBN 2 years ago, when it had 'been shutdown' apparently.

BULL SHIT. Files = papers/effects, clearly and indubitably.
Gotta have a couple critical thinkers around willing to climb up on the debate stage and slap someone for that shit.

Yep. GoDaddy disregards the law in most of their ways of doing business, so to think they would verify registrant info is a joke!
Seems like a new infamous 30million host botnet pops up every day.

This is 90% of rhetoric. +1 Insightful.
I think parent was pointing out the submitter's failure to do so.
Hmm...

What the fuck kind of point is that? I find it unlikely for people to cultivate and smoke pot!

Best resource.
The right to privacy in video games?
Yes, because political activists are going to be kept down and freedom of speech will be DOOOMED if I can't grief in L4D and get away with it!
"The FCC is a member of the executive branch, so will be influenced by whatever president is in office, right?"
No.
