I don't think it's a bad thing either. It gives DDG a very clear signal so that they can improve: "you are not giving me the results I want for these queries". For most other search engines people just switch.

This is OT but books can vary in quality too - specifically the paper used and the print quality. I was looking at "Physically Based Rendering" ( http://a.co/bL8bjUw ) after seeing the post here about rendering a s

I don't know if Amazon has this feature, but I've seen sites that let the seller answer back to reviews - for cases where the seller has addressed a reviewer's feedback, they could reply and say that this has been fixed. Or m

From my uninformed point of view, most of those things apply to human drivers as well. Automated trucks seem appealing because they solve (what appears to me to be) a large problem with human drivers - fatigue and allowable working hours. B

I'm surprised to learn that pressing the "stop spin" button actually makes a difference - I had assumed that your results are calculated and fixed when the spin starts, and stopping it is just cosmetic. Why risk the house ed

I think this helps people who legitimately want to get some piece of content and are confused/misled when they stumble upon a pirate/torrent site. They don't know what bittorrent is and are confused when they think they can

Ads aren't win-win. They're taking up the space of the content I want to see. Accidentally clicking on them sends some of my personalized data to who-knows-where. They often run code not vetted by the site owner, making them a

I don't know about OG diablo but you might be able to register your cd key on Blizzard's site and play the game through their on-line launcher. I know this works (or worked) with Warcraft 3.
