Actually, I think Target could fix this pretty easily. They are sending a "302 Found" response for the original request and redirecting to the search results. They should be sending "410 Gone". The 302 tells Google that the search result page is the new location for the page.
Now, maybe Target doesn't mind getting all that extra traffic, and if they're using the wrong reponse code on purpose, that does seem like a form of spam.
Yeah, I was initially excited to hear that Thunderbird 3 was released, but I didn't get the memo about Lightning not being bundled as promised a while ago. I will certainly be waiting for a stable version of Lightning (and Google Calendar Provider) before trying TB3. Lightning works really well with Google Calendar in TB2. So I guess for me, there's nothing to see here and I'm moving along.
All a site has to do is put up an appropriate robots.txt file, unless Google stopped honoring robots.txt files, which would make them no better than a spammer and would, ultimately, lead to their demise.
I don't really get Facebook's vision for the web. It seems like wishful thinking to me. That is, they're starting with the fact that they have all this data that they want to use to make money, and they're envisioning what a world would look like that would make them insanely rich.
Anyway, I, for one, am more comfortable with Google vision, which is not predicated on the idea of a single company having exclusive access to vast amounts of personal information.
By the way, it's easy to forget that what makes Google's "rigorous and efficient" algorithms work is that they model the work that all of the millions of people in the world do every day to build the web. When someone reads something online that they like, they create a new page and link to it. That is the powerful idea -- harnessing the work of real people -- that made Google work, and allowed it to supplant earlier search engines.
Yes, it does, in fact. Calendars are shared be default within the domain and hidden by default outside the domain, and there is full control over these sharing options. You can give edit capabilities to anyone, and the administrator of the domain has edit capabilities for everyone -- a feature I haven't actually found a way to turn off.
You are wrong to say that evolution and global warming aren't theories. The problem is that most people don't really understand what a scientific theory is. It is not just a hunch or a guess, and some theories are supported by overwhelming evidence. Evolution is an example of a theory that is not only supported by vast amounts of evidence, but is an indispensable basis for all modern biological science. It is, in fact, still a theory in the scientific sense of the word, if not in the everyday sense: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory
As a techie person, I happen to think that the features they added for 2.0 were extremely well-chosen. I love search engine suggestions, and it's hard to imagine anyone not finding them useful. Spellcheck is also unobtrusive and generally very useful. Some people may want a bare-bones browser and to pick through the available add-ons, but the vast majority of Firefox's audience just want a good default browsing experience. In any case, there's nothing stopping a bare-bones lover from making their own version of Firefox without the bells and whistles.
I would add that I haven't had any stability problems at all with 2.0, but can certainly sympathize with people who have.
You sound pretty sure that you'll enjoy the perl job more, and a 20% increase in pay is significant. Just make sure that you won't be living beyond your means..Net has much more of a future than perl, but that would be a terrible reason to take a job that you don't think you'll like. Anyway, you already have.Net on your resume, and a good developer should be flexible in their choice of technologies. 120 miles is way too far to commute though, so find some place to live that is close and I think you'll find that your life will be pretty sweet.
