you still dont get it.
you are setting up a situation in which the machine gun is going to be much more superior. there are hundreds of yards in between the machinegun and its enemies, the enemies dont have weapons to hit him from that range, and they cant naturally close in.
it is little different from placing a rogue with no evasion ability 100 yards from an archer that has rapid shot. if you set it up that way, anything becomes a 'crowd control'. situation is not equal.
in a real life situation the infantry would have bazookas or grenade launchers to use against emplacements.
in ANY case, evne if they didnt, they would STILL be able to at least retreat and try to go around the emplacement, which was the method usually attempted in ww1, in the period where machinegun was dominant.
with crowd control concept in rpgs you cant do anything.
Me: "Hey programmer guy, we need a small program that does XYZ."
PHP guy: "Sure, I can square that away in one caffein-fueled night."
I'm not saying PHP is pretty or that it's better, but this sort of thing is a regular occurrence.

sorry, i'm such a dumbass
about the only thing that i can get to work is "Try your search on Yahoo, Ask, TheWeb, Live, etc, etc", and that only works for web searches, not news or image.
i'd love to know if all or any of the other goodies are working for you or others. thanks
alright, i tried installing CustomizeGoogle from Mozilla's addon page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/743), and then, under noscript i allowed google.com (can't forbid google's js with noscript or customize google won't work).
the results: on web searching, now i DO get the ability to try my search on other search engines (that's my favorite thing, just one middle click on each search engine!). But when using image searching, it DOES NOT add links to other image search sites. Nor does it give convenient links to other news search sites.
And other things like being able to make image links point directly to the image aren't working....
I am really worried about the fact that Facebook has access to data such as people's real name (that's the point of it, right?)
Um, no it doesn't. It has no real name verification mechanism, so if you are like me and you go by a nickname among your friends, you can register using a nickname. I think at some point they changed it so that you couldn't change the name easily once you register ('didn't used to be that way in its first year), but if you start out with a pseudonym, they don't stop you.
As for other infos, well, use TOR and litter your profile (and friend list) with a lot of false information so that they cannot separate the truth from lie.
Or, as you said, don't use Facebook.
it won't work on my main machine that has FF3.5, and i love that extension, so i still have FF3.0 on my secondary machine, and i don't upgrade that machine to 3.5, just so i can keep using Customize Google.
