Every search engine has bots now, it's how they find new content to file in the searches you do. They're not malicious bots, like as in a bot-net used by hackers for DDOS attacks.

That's why you can help or reject their indexing by using meta tags and other files to detail better what the content is - or tell them "do not index".

I don't believe that Google is the best company in the world, they have internet bots that go around probing things, I saw one on another forum.

LOL classic

Besides, I honestly don't care if global warming is happening or not. Either way, we're pumping toxic exhaust into the atmosphere at an alarming rate, causing things like smog and acid rain. On top of that, when we buy petroleum, some of the money goes to governments that support terrorist organizations. Like your gas-guzzling humvee? I hope you also like murder, because that's what you're paying for. Alternative energy is a must, whether global warming exists or not.

I really have to agree. I think both the US and Alberta should subsidize Alberta-harvested fuel for two reasons: 1) Canadians buy a lot more stuff from America than Venezuelans, mexicans, or Saudis. So give more money (by buying their oil) to canada, it comes right back and helps us in the US of A. 2)Why would we put money in the Saud princedoms? They have enough already. Their domocile is in a country ruled by a a controlling theocracy. It is hard to get in there unless you have very special papers, unless you happen to be a muslim. Also, as John said, the Saud princes and the whole government has been linked to Al qaeda, the Taliban, and other extremist organizations. Yet we buy a whopping 14% (can you believe it?! That is HUGE) from Saudi Arabia. Seriously, americans need to stop. Now. We should make our own or buy more from canada. Also, we buy a lot from mexico, which cannot even keep corruption from everywhere in its government, and can't control the drug traders.

True its advertising features can be a bit abnoxious, but aside from that, it is great, and it hosts so many great apps that it is more than well worth it. Did you know that when they released gmail, it wasn't believed to be real at first, offering 1 GB of storage, since at the time, others only offered 2 - 4 MB!

I've never understood the worries over the privacy issues of things like streetview. Maybe they have something to hide (on an affair, are criminals in hiding, etc)?

Firstly, I appologize for the double post. I originally planned to edit, but seeing that it doesn't show the 'new post' thing for edits, this is necessary, especially since there's a new change in direction!

Obviously, christmas just ended, so we should talk about our Christmas'.

Now, my christmas was awesome, for the most part, I got lots of gift cards, in total: $95 for future shop, $25 for best buy, and $50 for EB Games! That's a lot of video games! I also got windows 7 (which I'll install later) along with a number of movies.

But without doubt, the best gift we got was broadband internet! My parent's finally got satellite internet. Only problem: my dad refuses to get a wireless router. Time to think of an alternative. Perhaps buy a router, claim it's wired, but secretly activate the wireless. He isn't very technical, so that MIGHT work... Hmm...

I got a super cool high-definition camcorder, some money, a coupon for a snow-tubing place, can't think of the name right now though.....a video, other cool stuff..........
Oh and I got a bar or chocolate, and I got a donation card that gave some homeless/poor family a flock of chickens to eat.

Ah, hey, you're grading it strict. It takes some time to learn. Every year, my entire highschool goes on a field trip skiing (sometimes the only fieldtrip all year

). The first time, I was terrible, and was embarassed to be seen skiing. The second time I did fairly good, but twisted my back on a fall. The third time, I was finally good enough to hit jumps and stuff, and hadn't fallen all day. Give it some practice and you might like it (the speed is amazing).

Anyone else have a good christmas?

-Archmage- · « **Reply #686 on:** 28 December 2009, 12:52:31 »

Well, I used to snowboard, I was good enough to hit a good-sized jump with ice at the bottom, and land it.
