As someone who uses DuckDuckGo, I have to point out that that's a misleading suggestion. If other engines start doing this, it may well end up in DDG as well.
DDG relies heavily on the indices of others and many of the crappy trends in modern search engines are filtering into DDG. Search terms are replaced by synonyms and common misspellings, all searches seem to be boolean OR searches and terms are dropped without any notice at all, etc. More than that, any dissatisfaction with the results is dismissed and blamed on the other indices that they use.
Honestly, if it weren't for the extremely addictive bang searches (holy shit are those awesome), I'd probably ditch DDG. I know that you can implement those in Firefox, so I might get around to that eventually.

Submission + - Jason Scott of textfiles.com Wants Your AOL & Shovelware CDs (textfiles.com) 1
eldavojohn writes: You've probably got a spindle in your close tor a drawer full of CD-ROM media mailed to you or delivered with some hardware that you put away "just in case" and now (ten years later) the case for actually using them is laughable. Well, a certain mentally ill individual named Jason Scott has a fever and the only cure is more AOL CDs. But his sickness doesn't stop there, "I also want all the CD-ROMs made by Walnut Creek CD-ROM. I want every shovelware disc that came out in the entire breadth of the CD-ROM era. I want every shareware floppy, while we’re talking. I want it all. The CD-ROM era is basically finite at this point. It’s over. The time when we’re going to use physical media as the primary transport for most data is done done done. Sure, there’s going to be distributions and use of CD-ROMs for some time to come, but the time when it all came that way and when it was in most cases the only method of distribution in the history books, now. And there were a specific amount of CD-ROMs made. There are directories and listings of many that were manufactured. I want to find those. I want to image them, and I want to put them up. I’m looking for stacks of CD-ROMs now. Stacks and stacks. AOL CDs and driver CDs and Shareware CDs and even hand-burned CDs of stuff you downloaded way back when. This is the time to strike." Who knows? His madness may end up being appreciated by younger generations!

Ain't about the loot. Cthulhu has promised all his cockroaches that the conservatives get devoured first. I just like watching roach boy's legs scramble as he tries to run for some fresh rationalization to try and show that Her Majesty is not a thorough, complete, and consummate liar. Scant pleasure, as we slide into the settling pond, but don't deny me.

Until there has been a proper investigation, those "criminals" are just so many "civilians". So your JE title seems a trifle dodgy. Don't let d_r catch you failing (or even implying vague acceptance of the situation) to let the legal system run its course, or he wet his self. You don't really want a stinky puddle in your journal, do you?
