"Padding Resume"... = "Lying". For once if you get one of the smart HR Reps who thinks laterally, I wouldn't want the defending side of "So if the first 5 lines of print you have submitted to me are lies, how can I trust you?".
You get credit for an Informative reply. Seems our summaries are only hitting 70% accuracy lately.
Meanwhile I really don't know what to think if we get a war among agencies where say the FTC is awesome and the FCC caves. I'd like to think the whole government, per elected administration, has the same "mood".
Really awesome personalized ads can be fun. But I'd want to have explicitly turned on a button that says "I want to visit Minority Report for an hour". Then you can play in their playground with Meijer results, the pizza shop down the street, etc etc. But for it never to stop, it's really creepy.
Let's say they are on different pages of the same book called Pro-Privacy. I freely agree some ideas may be technical disasters, however they create a "mind-space" in our world of flying headlines that indicates a direction. A "Mind-space" of "Let's block all the tracking stuff" is at least in the right direction in my view, even if it's only as actually relevant as that page describing the typeface chosen.
Not in this political climate. However that is an answer to the "you can't stop them 'cuz they're international". They're quite happy to do it for the **AA, which is structurally the same argument. Or whatever Ballmer was saying about "working with" China about pirating MS Windows. Pick your choice of dimplomatic language.
However, per my sig, we're still stuck at somewhere between Web 2.x and Garden of Eden 3.X with Forbidden Things. This discussion we're having is "Privacy Revolt" at Web4.x which we do not see yet. However, if by some awesome chance you were to time capsule this and remember, I'd like to see what 5 years brings, after the first wave of more oppression.
Let's work with your reply in reverse order. For "Sift Through", that's easily solved with any of the basic Like/Up/TomatoScore/Downloads kinds of sorts on any site that has decided to make its name in showcasing a comprehensive list of Indie free-to-watch movies. I've heard that IMDB is starting to get elitist. Let's call it the Movie Site or something. Do you know of one that handles these movies in bulk? I'm hard pressed to think of anywhere to go besides IMDB & Hulu. (How do you do a Youtube Search for length?)
As for who watches a movie, isn't an audience of 1000 viewers enough? Across all the time we have to do recreation, I guarantee the viewers will visit. But it has to be ironclad certified as legal, as part of the function of the site. I can't trust any of the mega-anything sites anymore.
What's passive? A good well written movie, or playing Famville? The big movie houses are all about the Blockbuster Common Denominator. So this site would be full of all lesser known stuff. Anything that filters to the top would be promising.
What do you want when you do the search [advanced]? There's a conference called AdvancED that we show at #1. I see our advanced search help pages at #2, Advanced search from AltaVista at #3, SMX Advanced (a conference I've spoken at before) at #4, and Advanced Auto Parts at #5.
That's a pretty darn good set of search results for an ambiguous query like [advanced].
Hi Matt.
First of all let me commend you for being gracious enough to reply to my post.
My memory is a little haze, but there seem to be more small Advanced Search links on the top right of pages, both the home page and on the first results page. That feels right, it's a "special" answer to the question. However by importantance it needs to be highly accessible, because all of my searches are "include all of these words" at minimum, never again the "OR" syntax, so Advanced Search is the fastest way to get there.
Now onto the article/topic of results themselves:
The first situation is we're not even getting the same results! I took the liberty of reformatting your post above for aesthetic purposes.
I am receiving:
0: Ad placement ; Advance Auto Parts. (Ad Placements are "above" regular results.) 1: advanc-ed.org ; An interesting result, but still part of my growing frustation, to be seen below. Remember the dash - that's key. 2: shop.advanceautoparts.com ; I like your ad for them. That's what ads are. However this result feels wrong. "There is no d in advanceautoparts.com". To my understanding this is a crisp example of feeding me something I didn't ask for. According to Firefox Edit/Find there is no such word as "Advanced" anywhere on the visible page. 3. Advancedcell.com ; Advanced Cell Technology - interesting result. 4. Google Search Help - very interesting. However, let's begin to notice the as yet user-unstated question of whether I want "things called advanced____ or Advanced versions of ______". I tend to go for more adjectives. But should your search help be one of those "always on small links" at the top right? I'd think this would go well right below Advanced Search in the top right. 5. Advanced Composition for Native Speakers... another fair and interesting result. 6. AltaVista Advanced Search. Cute. AltaVista?! Really?! 7. Yahoo Advanced Search ; This one I expected and feels fair. 8. Advanced Twitter Search ; Great result. The best results change lives - "I didn't know Twitter had an advanced search, much less where to find it." Except - It's #8. 9. Advanced.com ; Advanced Interconnections. They paid for the domain name, they deserve to be here. Interestingly missing is Advanced.org. From what little I know of PageRank, if no one likes Advanced.Org, maybe they didn't deserve to be top 10. 10. Advanced Bash Scripting Guide ; This feels like a classic result, and I'd want more like that.
Thought - what is your opinion of Wikipedia's famous Disambiguation pages? That changes a list from a potluck fight for results into category. I'd seriously recommend a setting on the Advanced Search page (isn't that what it is for?) of Result Category. If I'm cruising for info on a TV show, I don't want pages of Fringe theories.
P.s. Way at the bottom is what looks very useful - Advanced Search, which seems to pull in a page full of advanced searches, which feels useful. But again what if that were somewhere more visible at the top? I'd rank it higher than "Advanced Ninja" in that same bloc of after-results.
"Each browser configuration consists of a unique creative work of customizing settings by that particular user, and undue tracking of those unique specs consists in a copyright violation to be subject to the rates of Thommas-Rasset at $750 per tracked copy per site per click."
Harvard Bookstore has an early model. It produces paperbacks that actually hold together. For whatever reason, these early Google-Scan texts have no real cover, more like a fancy page layout file, but it works. Cue 2nd Generation with small quality improvements, and the rights to pick your own cover from a stock.
So that's not even the same question.
Back to Movies.
There's tons of stories that just need about 10 good actors telling humanities stories, and some basic location backgrounding shots, then all kinds of filler can be CGI'ed in. "No one" has 2 mil lying around, but a surprising number of small groups can swing $50,000 spent really intelligently.
Per Rotten Tomatoes, it's all about the scripts. If we can get some devastating scripts and almost-watchable backing scenery, I'd pay a buck to downlaod/stream it.

What does that do to your post?
You even need layers of "internet use" emails. Some categories will send you valid mail, but lots of it. The Indie music sites are noticeable here.
Actually it's easier to take drugs to boost IQ than that other purpose.
There's some 25 different substances that amp you up. They won't make you *wiser*, but then that wasn't the question.
Here they come now, all the corporate Cronies! Yeah! Yeah Yeah!
Bleeding us dry like Bony Ponies! Yeah! Yeah Yeah!

We need Weird Al now.

This is key. The far side of huge credentials is Age Bias & "Over-Qualified".

"That's nice. Why are you applying for a Javascript coding job?"
I disagree here.

A wall of Balsa Wood is still a wall. I'd like to think that for twelve seconds they were considering the right thing before saying "Lol right."
