  4. Google Cycle 4 on Google Tweaks Algorithm; EHow Traffic Plummets · · Score: 1

    "Dark spots in giant's search results mark the beginning of the new iteration its search algorithm for the fourth (or fifth?) time since Google's inception - an activity many scientists and internauts feared was dangerously delayed. Owners of previously unknown internet real-estates can expect higher yields of their greens, but protection and limiting exposure to the screen are still advised".

    Moral of the story was supposed to be this.

  10. Fourth Sense on Firefox 5 In Aurora Channel · · Score: 2

    "it adds a fourth sense to the meaning..."

    Is that like a fourth state of matter? What are the other three senses of the 'the current version of Firefox' anyway?

    Sorry, you're foreign.

  11. Changes on NZ MP Enjoys Copyright Infringement, Votes For 3 Strikes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Instead of war on poverty
    They have a war on copyright so police can bother me.
    And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
    Cos if the prices were fair I'd be giving it back to you.

    You gotta operate the easy way,
    (RIAA) - "I made a G today",
    But you made it in a sleazy way -
    Selling tracks to the kids, "I gotta get paid"
    Well hey - It's just the way it...

  16. Re:Path To Enlightenment on KDE's New Projects Take On Portable Devices · · Score: 3, Informative

    From E.org: "Enlightenment libraries already power millions of systems, from mobile phones to set top boxes..."

    FTFWPA: "The entire early history of the Soviet manned space program has been declassified and we have piles of memoirs of cosmonauts, engineers, etc., who participated. We know who was in the original cosmonaut team, who never flew, was dismissed, or was killed in ground tests. Ilyushin is not one of them."

  20. Happy Cosmonautics Day on Celebrating Yuri Gagarin's 1961 Flight Into Space · · Score: 0

    Good to see other people other countries joining what I though to be a purely Soviet holiday up till now. A person well worth celebrating, mind you!

    But I suppose the internet helps...

    Enjoy, and don't get too drunk today ;)

    Ura! Yuri Alekseevich!

  21. Aim, Goal, Objective on Forget Space Travel, It's Just a Dream · · Score: 0

    Apart from many people having no real appreciation of the scale involved in Space Travel, we as a people have still yet to learn the responsibility involved in utilizing the resources we are given. If we haven't yet figured out how to live sustainably and peacefully, I doubt any extrasolar world or any Unobtainium we find will show us the way to peace, happiness and prosperity. Sorry if this sounds too transcendental, but that's what the Universe is all about - doesn't matter where you are, all we might ever need might just be inside us...

  22. Do the right thing on EU About To Vote On Copyright Extension · · Score: 0

    Just hope there is still a majority more concerned about fostering and promoting the culture than with stuffing the pockets of the media mob whose pockets are already stuffed to the max. We're not all sold out!

    Not that it would make any difference given the average pricing policy for a piece of music and torrent being alive and well... (that's off the record by the way)

  25. Google Trenchview on Google Earth To Include Google Deep Sea · · Score: 0

    So basically, what they're saying is that they contracted Branson & Co. to do the Mariana version of Street View...
    ' Well, Google would certainly have the budget for that...

    Now prepare for "invasion of privacy" lawsuits from the Mariana Tretch benthos residents...
