Duckduckgo is not powered by Bing. The FAQ states:
DuckDuckGo gets its results from over 50 sources, including DuckDuckBot (our own crawler), crowd-sourced sites (in our own index), Yahoo! BOSS, embed.ly, WolframAlpha, EntireWeb, Bing & Blekko. For any given search, there is usually a vertical search engine out there that does a better job at answering it than a general search engine. Our long-term goal is to get you information from that best source, ideally in instant answer form.

Is this the type of crap we can come to expect now that CmdrTaco is gone?
It's a slashvertisement; the page linked to in the article is just the front page for the product. No news, no editorial, no review, no discussion (as you pointed out) of what it is. Nothing.
No. If it makes me feel superior to IE users, the story must run.
How appropriate. You post like a cow.
Your definition of "troll" is astoundingly wrong.
People who suffer from Aspergers or Autism (like many Slashdot users) are unable to read those cues in real life, much less on the internet. They are victims of a disease, but your definition lumps them in with people who try to raise the hackles of others on purpose.
If someone does not understand the nuance of your post, it does not mean they are a troll. The inability to read such nuance over the internet is very much akin to Aspergers and Autism. The person on the other end is working at a disadvantage.
It isn't nice to mock the mentally disabled, but you seem to think it's fine. You, sir, are the exact kind of person this story was written about.
No YUO!
This story sucks. Your all idiots.
FOAD, assholes.
of course, that this 'future' is now, and we've been watching and waiting for it to get to this point for, well, all of history
But when will "then" be "now"?
Oh lawd! Somebody catch me. I've caught the vapors!
Does it even matter as Mozilla-based browsers become less important as Internet usage moves towards Webkit-based browsers on mobile devices?
The company down the street seems quite happy to shell out another $200-$300 to keep that $120,000/year developer happy. If your developer is any good, maybe he'll just go work for them.
In this market? I'm guessing you're a developer who hasn't been looking for a job for some time rather than an employer.
But for what it's worth, I'm an employer and I try very hard to ensure all of our developers - particularly the coders - always have two matching >=22" widescreen monitors. As a developer myself I'm perhaps more easily persuaded of the productivity gains than most bosses. That having been said, very, very few developers understand the cold hard realities of squeezed budgets, tightened belts and the pragmatism sometimes required in a tough marketplace. If you've made a good argument and your boss is still resisting, he may well have a very good reason beyond the price of just one screen. Think about it.
FTFS: "The numbers indicate that Titan's moment of inertia can only be explained if it is a solid body that is denser near the surface than it is at its centre"
FTFA: "It's also worth pointing out that there is another explanation for Titan's strange moment of inertia. The calculations assume that the moon's orbit is in a steady state but it's also possible that Titan's orbit is changing, perhaps because it has undergone a recent shift due to some large object passing nearby, a comet or asteroid, for example."
Many people are unenthusiastic about your work.
