Google is beating out other search providers like Yahoo and Altavista due to one big difference - a cult following. All the (us) Google nerds really just enjoy Google's search engine, email service, and all these other nifty tools they're coming out with. Honestly, how many Yahoo nerds are there out there?
A Second American Civil War from 2004-2008, during which civil liberties would be surrendered under the guise of National security.
This is the phrase we're talking about, right? Because I was referring to the phrase "during which civil liberties would be surrendered under the guise of National security," which, by the way, is merely a summary of what John Titor actually predicted. I assumed people with the gumption to post comments such as yours on Slashdot would have the ability to do their own simple research, especially if they didn't know who John Titor was to begin with.
Also, please take note of the real content of the post you replied to, not just the content you want to see. The keywords "eerily similar" seem to stand out.
Didn't this happen with HL2 as well? If they aren't very far into the development, like others have said, I think it would be safe to assume this won't actually have any kind of impact on the end product.
Wow, I can't believe the amount of anti-trust garbage going around these days. How do companies think they will ever get away with things like this? Do they think we won't notice, or do they think that we don't care?
Most of the time it's the latter. They know it will upset a lot of people, but a lot of people won't do anything about it. It's the internet generation that holds the most influence on the economy today. If everyone who was concerned actually sent an email, or wrote one letter, these companies would be so swamped in feedback that they'd have no choice but to react.
I would recommend that anyone who is as angry about this as I am, email or otherwise file a customer complaint against eBay. I have already done it myself, in a calm and intelligent manner. Companies like eBay, which rely solely on online exposure and reputation to earn their money, take customer feedback very seriously. With enough commotion generated by its customers, I feel that this could be a disaster we could prevent ourselves.

Well, how boring would a movie like that be if they all got along and completed their mission without any trouble?
Now's my chance to go to Mars!
Hey, by the way, how long does it usually take to get field experience in biochemistry?
The only thing that defined the Virtual Boy were the migraines.
Man, can't these scientists just hurry up and pick a theory already?

Way to reply to the title and not the content. I believe the phrase is "judging a book by its cover".
Anyone else find this situation eerily similar to the one John Titor predicted?

What you're waiting for is a zombie insulter.
Bring on the FPIs.
