Yes, sorry, you are correct of course - I mean to type 'jazzlad' not "jazzlad" the punctuation was to denote what was typed, not included in the query. I regularly use quotation marks when I search, but the average person going to my website likely does not (and like me, would never think of doing so for a single-word query).
Woah, lil' doggy, I'm a Texan - All we got is steers & - wait , no that's not it - we all use Google. Tarnation, I've witnessed dozens of internet users and they all use Google. I know a guy in Utah that uses Bing, so I suppose that is what they use up there.
I agree to a point. When I search gamil I like it to say "Did you mean gmail?" and making it as easy as a single click to correct the typo, but I don't like it just assuming because what you searched for is not popular it wasn't what you meant. Try searching for me by my nick (which I've had for well over 10 years and the domain for 9). It will show results for jazzland instead and make you click a link to see what you actually searched for.
Suggest? Sure - and thank you - I often have a typo. Assume? No thanks. Look at it as penalizing the sloppy typist by having to click a second link, don't penalize someone because what they want isn't popular enough.
My own webpage doesn't come up searching for it on Google. Sure, it's low traffic, but every time you search "jazzlad" Google assumes you meant "jazzland" and makes you click "Search instead for jazzlad."
Of course, the domain isn't any harder to type, but in this day and age people seem to be more accustomed to typing what they want in Google instead of typing the address (ala AOL Keywords) - I know I'm guilty of this, I type 'netflix' or 'gmail' & it gets me where I'm going. I'm not dumb, it's just faster for me and I suspect this is why a lot of other people do it this way.
I don't mind it saying "Did you mean xxxxxx," just don't assume.
I wish I had mod points; the only thing I have is Karma so hopefully my reply (while otherwise lacking in merit) will attract a little attention to your post. Well written & certainly tugged at my heartstrings. I have friends with ASD children, none of them are cases where they simply don't know how to parent and just pump them full of drugs either. I suspect those are an extreme minority.
If anything, the fact that the parents referred to in the story and yourself are successful simply means you are a) educated enough to notice something is wrong and b) financially able to seek treatment.
Separate (external) drive, encrypted, with the words "bad drive" written on w/ a Sharpie (so when they can't read it they just pitch it). That or, I duhno, you could delete it & pay more attention to your wife & kids...
The report on NPR (no link, sorry, Google it) said that it would have Netflix support. I found it odd myself as Amazon has their own video service, but it is being reported there.
Unless the preponderance of people still drove 30 year old cars. Then we would demand the issue be corrected. Besides, I thought Windows 2000 came out 10 years ago & that XP was late 2001/2002 but like you I'm too lazy to check.

See, the reason SSDs are so expensive is all the money gets funnelled into weather management tech.
SSDs are dirt cheap to make, I sell plans for $20 where you can make your own out of parts you can get a radioshack for under $30.
This is because Apple leads all innovation.

There goes my karma
We call it 'Big Coppa' these days, gotta change the spelling of what you're putting 'Big' in front of.
You can buy a box of pencils and sell them on the street corner one by one.
Not without a permit.
...Whereas, when the iPhone came out it didn't look like anything else...
Except the Prada.
What good is saying you know a couple people when post anon? I know, don't feed the trolls :/
This helps greatly when you get your work email on your mobile & don't need to see the items that you set filtering for.

Not if it is a traffic camera. You get the fine, refuse to pay & it is you that they can sue (civilly)
WTF do you live that it will cost $1000 & take several days to do a simple NYC round-trip?

First first post. As lame as the story
Lemme get this straight, you want to eliminate repeats (dupes) but you read /.?
