Google humour?

Type "weapons of mass destruction" in google and follow the first link... Look carefully, it's not a missing page :smile:

old, but is still pretty funny.

Hah, I like this one. You don't even need the quotes, you can just search for 'weapons mass destruction', and it's still the first result. Good old PageRank :smile:

I still like googling "Miserable Failure" (no quotes).

That was one I didn't know before.

Here's another, try "French Military Victories" and click "I'm Feeling Lucky".

That's not true Google-humor though :/

It is funny though.

I love that one.

This is semi related, and I'm sure Jeff, Edge, and Horn are some of the few that would get this. But, up until a month ago or so you couldn't search for "Xfree86" through MSN's search engine. Granted, you can search for "Xfree85", "Xfree87", and "X free 86". I believe they changed it now though ... I thought it was funny the first time I saw it, but then again I'm an enormous geek :biggrin: .

Whats Xfree86?

This will clear it up

But in a nutshell, it's basically an open source version of the Windows drawing engine: i.e. DirectX, NOT Direct3D though. It puts all functionality together: control, video, sound, etc.

Waayy over the top of my head :sad: Someday... I'll see the light... Someday...

kay. Like I said, I thought it was funny because I'm a huge geek lol.

Dont worry, Im a different kind of geek. I want to bring my comp to camp this summer... that is, if I get the camp. So Im designing my computer to fit in a schoolbag. Using spare parts from 2 other cases.

Yes, but my geekdom spreads into many different areas.

sounds like a ... okay idea ... just watch for static (poof).

yea, that and I have to figure a way not to crush my PCI cards.

Here's the plan:

ha ha ha, that's not a very good plan

it would be better if you had the board encased in something that wasn't cloth or metal. (also if anything metal were to move and touch the circuits on the board or the soldering it would fry).

I didn't know they had un-blocked it, but yeah.

There used to be a good one where if you searched for 'go to hell', it had something like 1) hell.com 2) microsoft.com 3) aol.com - it doesn't work now though, they aren't even on the first page :sad:

You probably saw this one before Crono, but the first result for 'litigious bastards' is an SCO hate site. On a slightly related note, the RIAA finally got thier website back up after something like 6 months of it being unavailable, and it's now running on linux - this means they could be added to SCOs list of companies that it wants to sue for using 'thier' linux. Would be good to see those 2 in a battle to the death where both of them die and somehow the MPIAA gets destroyed too... oh and can't forget the BPI and all the other stupid RIAx associations :smile:

Google don't actually fiddle the results like that though (apparently), that's just the way these things work out from back-linking websites :smile:

well, the thing is going to fit in a schoolbag, but the mobo will be protected by a metal "case" that I am making. I have an old mid tower so I will take the 2 cover doors and cut them down to size. And I'll add in some cardboard as well.

I'm not going to put my power computer in first though, I have old parts and I'll test it out with those. That way, if I kill something, it will be a P2 400Mhz.

Make a load of jelly and fill your bag with that. Tasty protection.

Yeah, but your MOTHER BOARD will need to be protected from that as well. if it touched that 'protective case' it will fry.

I'll respond later, Jeff ... when it isn't 8:30 am or so lol.

its always been possible... just search for xf86 with a version number :razz: or go into IRC and ask questions there..
