 | the internet has really gone mad. besides the xltronic forum and mp3 sharing, i don't spend my time surfing
 anymore. porno porno porno divx mp3...
 lots of bullshit and if you really need something you can't
 find it.
 for example: it's really important for me to find some info
 on the SONY PS-T33 DIRECT turntable... so i look in the
 internet and bullshit, nihil...

 | I think there should be "internet moderators" basically their browsers are the same as everyone else's but they have
 three extra buttons:
 
 Temp. Close website:
 Sends automated email to site author "Your Website x is
 shite... it has been taken down for 1 week. Improve it or we
 will remove it in one months time. "
 
 Close Website:
 As above, but "Either we warned you before or your site is
 beyond help. Go home and die." It would then delete the site
 entirely and simultaneousl destroy all mirrored ones.
 
 Ban Author:
 As above, but applied to all sites the author has had a hand
 in, author banned from using the internet ever agian and
 following email sent "d00d, U SuXXXor!!!1!!! In the interest
 of public wellbeing you are no longer allowed to even surf
 the net."
 You're"

 | in the newest edition of wired magazine the do an article on the mass amounts of searches that go through google's search
 engine.  it's some guy's job to just pay attention to all of
 them and tweak google's databases...  he just sits there all
 day and watches cross sections of what everyone all across
 the globe are searching for.
 
 if they look for something and don't get the best results he
 can't change things around so that the next person has
 better luck.
 
 seeing as how google controls like 90% of web searches I'd
 say he's pretty close to the moderator that Ceri suggested.

 | yeah, but what ended up happening is that joe schmoe's local bookstore and antique shop in muskatonkee nebraska now has
 to compete with every store in the global marketplace
 instead of just the old couple two towns over.
 
 maybe this is a good thing because now you can pick up the
 classic atari 2600, still in original packaging, for $5 on
 some random site... but, the problem is finding the site
 that has it... and then giving up searching for a site
 that'll sell it cheaper... because, there probably is one
 somewhere .

 | I don't understand how, say, google can search for stuff so fast, whereas if you use the search function in your own
 single computer to search for a file, it takes much longer.
 One time I tried searching for "*" in google (which means
 "everything").. The screen started flashing faster and
 faster in crazy patterns until I clicked cancel.

 | At first they seemed to be using Pigeon in a metaphorical acronym, but then they seemed to be getting a bit uh,
 literal (I skimmed read though)... heh heh, it's good they
 have a sense of humor.
 I'm not a member of that site, but want to try it when I get
 my own computer someday.

 | other than being an excellent source of free pornography, stolen music and absurdly insane conspiracy theories the
 internet serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than
 luring innocent netsurfers into a tangled web of crime,
 corruption, violence, deprevity, recklessness, immorality,
 and satan-worship! leave the free titties & the music and
 ban everything else, i say!
