I can't think of too many situations where a cow would be best suited as a work animal.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxen . They're stronger than horses, albeit slower, and have quite a few working uses.

Using a word list like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGP_word_list would even make it safe(ish) for verbal communication.

I like this idea quite a bit.

My solution: chloroform. If it's fast-acting enough, then why not use it? Harmless, and pretty soon the victim is incapacitated with no harm done. Sadly, cops don't want that because they want to punish the victim.

Not sure if that was serious, but Chloroform is not quite as harmless as you see in television: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroform#As_an_anesthetic

Runtime? So it's like Java then... it's interpreted. Ooookay, well, I suppose runtime languages have their place amongst the honored...

While I don't disagree with your assessment of the language, FWIW, all languages have runtimes, not just interpreted languages.

Personally, I bail when the content is a video. Give me back my plain text internet, please.

Videos are such a waste of time.

You're drawing attention to something that you profess not to care about. Ignoring it and saying nothing is usually a better response.

You seem to be short on the letter 'e'. Here! Take some of mine:

eeeeeeeee

you'd have to ban large binaries otherwise it will just become a big music and movie sharing network.

Non sequitor.

Fuck that. They're not just doing their job. They, like everyone else, are 100% responsible for their actions both at work and elsewhere.

Requires Javascript?

The primary issue is latency because they're not hosting with a ridiculously load balanced configuration, within a 50k radius of anywhere, but I suspect that will improve in time.

Quality of results is another one of those things which is bearable now, depending on your use case, but will improve in time. Their !syntax seems pretty useful. I've been using it professionally for a week or two now, and haven't really had any trouble.

Also important: they don't store your information.

It's a damned shame there's no competition left that believes in simple search

DuckDuckGo?

Friendly tip: you're a little early to the astroturfing. Maybe wait until you've finished your product and put together a solid informational website?

Does the direction, or the idea of progress matter to the concept of the argument? I think not. Let me put it another way:

At a given moment in human culture, there are a number of 'inventions' in range of discovery, and a number of people in the right position to make those discoveries, whether any of them do or not. Some people have more capacity for discovery and some less, but no-one creates in a vacuum, so the particular people are very much interchangeable.

What we call 'genius' is, at best, someone reaching a little further out into the dark than we had reason to expect.

Given that the seats are 200k (from TFS), it's fair to call that a deposit, though a pretty big one.
