They're both Google. One is Google-this-site. That is what I deem
inferior to their *old* search software.

I think I see - once-removed search capabilities, huh? Don't use search
that much myself, but then I don't do a real lot of research on the Web,
either. In the past I used to get quite aggravated by hitting bunches of
low-number search-engine placed sites which were totally, absolutely crap,
often because of ads and such, and finally find a decent site within the
scope I wanted after about 200 tries. This even happened on Google,
although last I remember was about 5-6 months ago. I'm not exactly a fan
of search-engines, although they may (hopefully) be improving.
Certainly it's the final word, but it's not where I prefer to *start*.

It's often vague, disorganized, partly incomprehensible, and very poorly
illustrated with examples pertinent to the subject matter. "Ending" there
hardly inspires confidence in the medium supposedly defined.

You prefer to search by what then... typing vaguely likely
looking keywords into stabs in the dark at urls?

What do I need to search for? I generally know where I'm going. Ses are
merely a narcotic for those who lack motivational acuity.

And I thought I was the master of absolute garbage! My hat goes
off to you. I say this with professional sincerity. Now, piss off
and go to bed. The day shift staff are on now.

I take my hat off to you... clearly you are capable of consuming and
instantly recalling the entirety of the world wide web in your brain. Either
that, or you have such a narrow field of view that you only need to revisit
the same sites over and over.

I didn't really expect you to understand what I said. In fact, judging by
your past missives, I actually expect you to understand very little. But
it is okay. The world is very tolerant and even mushrooms are sometimes
lauded for their fungoidal excellence.

But, of course, there are people just lined up in the queue
marked "People who understand why some computer users would never
need a search engine".

Go to bed, you are over tired.

Put your hat back on; your head's getting cold.

Are you trying to tell me that back in the past they believed in some
_woman_ who was always right? Hah, no wonder they call it _myth_ology!

No. Reread. They *didn't* believe her. :)

No. Reread. They *didn't* believe her. :)

The other characters in the story believe in her but not her. The
readers of the story believe her but not in her.

It is a good illustration of the concept of dramatic irony.

Oh, right, how silly of me. Still, reminds me of stories like the tale of
that guy Atlas who supposedly held the whole world up on his back. Wonder
what he did with it when he had to take a crap..?

What's a dunny? Never heard that term before 'cept once from a drunk who
was trying to say "money" and "dough" at the same time.

Hah! Hah! Hah! (Yeah, right.)

Actually, I am a bit familiar with Ayn Rand, and although she was a
fruitcake, her writings could spark interest. Basically, though,
philosophy is nothing more than the mental meanderings of the productivity-
challenged class.

I've read AS and The Fountainhead. I think that's all.
