I used evilwm for several years back on RedHat 7.x. I've been stuck on XP since. I fondly remember the fun of exploring just how stripped-down WM i could practically use. And how tiny resources it used. http://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/ it's

Hey, at least you get to pick your ads. :P Btw, a simple search for anything geeky gets me tons of dating ads. (i havent installed adblock on my Opera test-browser). Pics of smiling chicks may be preferred over ugly medical conditions.

"Ads are just more answers" I think ads and social should compete equally with other content in Results. In that, most ads should rank just above the spam at the bottom. And Social results should rank as any opinions, like forums and such.

I'm pissed when things brake. But: Repairing things is an opportunity to save your own money. And to save your own planet. And possibly explore and learn something new, or at least harvest some spare parts. And just enjoy the fun of disas

While i'm a big fan of privacy. I think DDG's biggest advantage over G is the lack of bubble. Which gives users better Results. Us techier people knows that it's a more complicated, but there's no need to bother users with grey areas. "I up

I'm thinking that people that cant afford, or thinks that 50$ is overpriced, are correct. Just as those paying for it are also correct. Just as those that would pay even more. Fixed prices is a tradeoff that is needless nowadays. Try a bett

Sometimes randomness spits out what we call patterns. 123456 seems like a pattern to us, and our beloved compression algos we wrote. But 123456 is just as random as any combo. I think. Right? Related thinking, Sean Carroll on TED- Arrow of

Google wants people to Login. And remain Logged in. Gathering data about people is more valuable when it's tied to an individual. (I'm very restrictive when i do have to login. I do what i'm there for. Nothing else. Then quickly logout.)

Now we need another clever thing. A GPL-ish set of Rules for for-profit business. Think about it, if for example Google had a 'We're Legally bound to never be evil' eithical rule. Does such a thing already exist perhaps? Or is there some wi
