Googles sponsored links are quite clearly marked as such. As long as
they are honest about them, I don't have a problem with their trying to
generate some revenue. Any other forms of payment for position in a
legitimate search engine are unethical.

The people running Google make Bill Gates look like a retard .

They were smart enough to wait before doing their IPO .

They forgoed buying mansions , yachts , and muscle cars .
Instead they peddled their bicycles to work .

the one luxury they afford themselfs is
good food. every Google employee can
eat lunch at a cafeteria staffed by a Gourmet
chef...sure beats the blivet burger...

ps -- most people who work for microsoft
are contract employees who are treated
like *shit* -- they are routinely lied
to by the 'permanent' managers, sexually
harassed and threated with their jobs.

They are promised full time jobs that
never materialize and then if projects
go downhill they are blamed..

basically Bill Gate$ the Creep is propped
up by a lot of young cannon fodder....

There's some stuff on this in the Naomi Klein book ('No Logo') I was
talking about in another thread. Apparently Microsoft were worried that
temp workers might start claiming employment rights because many of them
had been there so long, so they ruled that MS funded
social events were out of bounds to temp workers.

So spammers have to obey the rules but you don't? (the limit on sigs
is 4 lines, which I am SURE that you know).

Look up "hypocrisy" in the dictionary.

Hi Paul Hovnanian P.E. ,
You say :
" Much of the internet
is running on GNU / Open source software . "

Yes , Including Google itself .

But Google is doing an IPO ...

What works , works ... Why be a purist at all costs ?

Bailo loves playing the martyr ...
Like that drunk I saw the other day
saying " I'm Jesus ! I'm Jesus ! "
as the campus cops handcuffed him .

Look, I don't know what your marital dispute with jbailo is, but take it
to email instead of the group.

Oh, and you're an idiot too.

Now FOAD!

Ask yourself this question John :
" Why has the GNU philosophy continued to fail us ? "

Ask yourself this question: Seeing as how the basic operating principles
of Google are pretty well known, why can't a software company with a
bottomless R&D budget build their own competing product?

Actually, they tried and failed. Look at MSN search for a case in point.

No. It i just that this NG attracts lots of people where the minimal
description would be "idiot". It will quite often not be enough, so instead
"moron" or "cretin" is more appropriate, but using any more words would
just waste them

BTW, you are an idiot
