    are you considering raising the costs 30% by taking a cut, 'impacting users the least' ? i want to know which planet you are from. in the one i currently am, costs reflect on the customer.

    will it report which videos i choose to watch on youtube to microsoft ? so that they can use it to 'improve their results' in any potential video service they may be launching, depending on what youtube shows ?

    well, i didnt see any media reports at least half a decade ago, or longer. for me, its news. simply, probably for a lot of other people, its same too. so, it IS news.

    its your company's problem then.

    PS. GiriGiriPHP's site is a great example of a 10 year old let loose on the internet, and how NOT to design a website. Perfect example of a 1980s style table design. Guess that's what happens when the dumbest 10% of the world gets let go and has extra free time on their hands to try and push their poor skills on the rest of the world.

    so, you have decided the quality of a codebase, based on in what way its website was formatted.

    no wonder why your company feels safe with keeping its corporate website on .com domains. you are all incompetents.

    i will do you a favor, and drop you a tip : tables, stay where they are, in all devices new and old, in all platforms, in all browsers. they dont shift their place because you change a single float attribute on some random div somewhere on a page that has a lot of visual elements, depending on browser and version and platform and so on.

    and no - you cannot make all websites google like and twitter like - in business there are a lot of websites that need to maintain many visual elements in precise places.

    and no - customers wont give 2 flying fucks what us, the fad-loving self-righteous programmers, designers and coders think about what is 'hot' 'proper' and not. they want to see something in the exact place in every browser they use. and no, you cant persuade them.

    since, compared to a 10 year old 'loose on the internet' you think that

    is da hot thing and the only one to be with, im sure you are also a moron who thinks that people should ssh into a nix server with a wheel user first, then su- to root, for 'extra security'.

    anyway. this is the last response you can get from me in your endless idiocy (or maybe, youth and naivete). you may learn things the wrong way, in trenches, or, right way, by being logical and practical.

    and stay away from girigiriphp code.

    let me make this plain to you :

    it doesnt matter a flying fuck what bing cares about which results it returns.

    copying other SEARCH engine's results and showing them as YOUR own results, is, COPYING.

    no, its not 'improving product'. you cant redefine copying, stealing.

    if you argue that you can, i am going to redefine copyright violation as 'spreading information', and claim that it is totally legal.

    so, analyze the following situation and what would you call me if i did that :

    at that point in time, as a practical 'noone' on internet, i give out a utility program which acts as a utility plugin in people's browsers, and have it act as spyware, sending what these people select in search results at another SEARCH ENGINE (not just any other website), and then start serving the exact result from my 1 month old page, mixed with my results, but, at the top. voila - i show relevant, good results as google !!

    you would call me thief, copycat, bastard, a multitude of things ranging from these to heaven knows what else, and you would be right.

    instead of serving some service based on my own effort, i would be ripping other's effort, through SPYWARE on people's computer. the people who may not be even aware of what's happening.

    there is nothing to defend about this. it is cheating.

    so then ? does that make copying OTHER search engines, valid ? so if i set up a search engine, and instead of devising an algorithm to decide what is relevant internet wide, using all websites, i go to only SEARCH engines and use their results to determine relevancy, its ok ?

    "learning". yeah, now it sounds all proper .... now, if only we define as such, copying can become learning too. just like you did. then there wont be any issues of copyright.

    'they are doing this with all search engines' is even a more stupid defense of the illegality that is taking place here.
