Actually, I think RvB would make a better TV series than movie...
Most of the story ideas would really flesh out well into the 23 minute format, and they include a grand JMS style arc for everyone that likes that sort of stuff.
BTW: As much as I like this season, Epsiode 39 is still my favorite, just from a Gamers point of view!
The only way to do a complete search of the web is to write your own spider-bot to crawl the web yourself.
Oh, wait.... That's prohibitively expensive unless, say... you own Microsoft.
I guess the rest of us will have to use both Google and search.msn.com, and accept the fact that between the two of them, they've probably referenced 99% of what's searchable by bots.
BTW: There are waaay to many sites that do not allow spiders from search engines, or are otherwise unfriendly. Most family tree websites, Ellis Island, the LDS genealogy (sp?) site, and just about every pay-site online. I've wound up having to track down these sites and do manual searches. It would be so much easier if those sites would just put the raw data online some place where the 'bots could find it.
Searching on Google, I was number one on the hit parade, and they had "about 2,560" web pages with my family name, in.40 seconds, and 253 web pages that mention it directly (in un-spamified form), and my website was first on the page.
Searching on search.msn.com, my site wasn't directly on the front page, but instead a deep subpage was listed, and there were only 1228 web pages with my family name in.12 seonds, and only 68 web pages that mention it directly (in un-spamified form)
Interestingly enough though, on certain random searches that I know fail on Google, I had success on search.msn.com.
I therefor conclude that A) msn is scanning different pages than google, AND B) To do a complete search, you have to use BOTH search engines.
Also, poor old Altavista only found 765 pages with my last name, but my website was first listed.
Alltheweb found 703 pages with my last name, and my website was first listed.
Lycos found 310 pages with my last name, and my website was first listed.
Dogpile found 62 pages with my last name, and my website was first listed.

Obviously, msn has determined from my postings at slashdot that I must be anti-Microsoft, and has therefor relegated my site to the tail-end of their search results.
Does that mean they get twice as many Christmas presents?
Or is the non-custodial planet going to be spoiling the rovers rotten while poor poor Mars complains that Earth doesn't send enough support money to pay for Christmas?
Slashdot Mirror
HA!
We have enough problems with our L-Users clicking on attachments from unknown people on subjects they never sent out.
What makes you think we can train them to not click "OK" on a MS dialog box that says "Security Updates ready to install. Install Now?"
I don't care....
I run OS/2!
I thought in Soviet North Korea stocks delist old people??
And when will we see Darl covered in HOT GRITS???
But wait, does it run Lin... Never mind
How 'bout a Beowolf cluster of delistings?
Sorry, this seems to be the troll thread...
Huh?
I thought only old people in Korea fed their cats?
Wait!
Does it run Lin...
Oh, wait, never mind....
Somebody HAD to say it!
Ohh ohh
Ouch ouch ouch
Where's that "+|-5, horrible Pun" mod when I need it?
Just as a reference point, at 9:50 AM (EST) it was up to 32,687. Basically 16,000 hits in a little more than 8 hours.
Surprisingly, the webserver seems to be holding up to a Friday night/Saturday morning /.ing very well.
I wonder what would have happened if this had been posted on a weekday...
Without adding to the the further /.ing of his site, instead of laser tag, you could attach the flame cannons he ALSO has videos of!
I leave it as an exercise to the reader to find the flame cannons on his site.
At 1:19 AM, it was at 16,475 and growing about 20/second....
See what happens when you moderate fairly and have good Karma? Your home gets posted on /. !!!
Dang lameness filter...
YES, They do!
Not any place you want to work...
None the less, look around on Wall Street. The hours are waaaay long, but you get paid waaay lots (150K+)
$85,000 per year
Plus health and life insurance, 4 weeks vacation, multiple personal laptops, and I only take calls between 8:30 am, and 5:00 PM

Really?
I guess all the "Software Engineers" who write ASP pages must agree with you.
All the rest of us Engineers take offense at your comment, and assume you must be in HR.
Man, I sure wish I'd had Microsoft Shut Up And Study, Cut Your Hair, Get A Job 2005 when I was a kid!
I wish you had that too...
Maybe then you wouldn't be trolling /.
It's Funny, laugh

Earth doesn't need saving. For all it cares it can be another Mars.
Oh yeah, right!!!
Let's see, would you rather be tall with all your hair? OR short and bald?
You're still a person, right? What's the difference?
Wouldn't that be better than this one?
I mean, President Clinton wasn't that bad, even if her husband was a bit of a jerk.
, or they don't know about the alternatives
Alternatives? What alternatives?
The only other alternative I've ever seen on my desktop was this AOL link, and they charge something list $24.95 a month!
It's funny, laugh
Ewwwwwwwww
That's worse than that Goat Sx dude.
Where's the draino for my mind, so I can permanently clean those images from my memory.
Ewww Ewww Ewwwww Ewww
Ummmm, Since when is Pluto a planet?
I always thought it was a Kuiper Belt object
If I had Mod Points, I'd mod you up!
Good Flamming technique!
Does that mean they get twice as many Christmas presents?
Or is the non-custodial planet going to be spoiling the rovers rotten while poor poor Mars complains that Earth doesn't send enough support money to pay for Christmas?
It's also referred to as the "problem of natural evil".
