That is an EXCELLENT idea.

The ads on google are already getting to be a drag, and I know for a fact
that they leave out one HELL of a lot of websites.

The GNU GOOGLE

GNUGLE ?

should clearly identify commercial websites and put them in a seperate
category- Catalogs.

If you can find the public funding, I'll take my search engine code and
build it.

It will take:

$2k~$20K per month for ISP hosting.
$5K per 2U machine, with disk, we'll need about a hundred or two of them.
We'll need a great deal with the ISP for bandwidth, because we will be
crawling 4 billion pages on a regular basis.
We'll need a 24x7 on-line admin
We'll need a few web guys and a couple SQL guys, standard salary.
We could probably launch in 6 months.

There would be no need for GNUGLE to be available to the general public.

Just to Linux users.

" Google is meeting with bankers in preparation for
its highly anticipated initial public offering .
The Times reported that Microsoft's overture
appears to have gained little traction
as Google indicates
it still prefers going the IPO route. "

Ask yourself this question John :
" Why has the GNU philosophy continued to fail us ? "

There would be no need for GNUGLE to be available to the general public.

Just to Linux users.

For a community that promotes freedom and openness, that would be extremely
restrictive.

And how would you even know if a client is a Linux user?

Why can't you address your posts to the group
instead of to *me* in particular?

Can't you speak like an adult?

If you want to harangue me personally, my email address
is (e-mail address removed).


If you want to propose a general comment, go ahead.

There's plenty of intelligent people here...

IPOs are notorious for being manipulated. Microsoft may still end up
with a large enough block of Google stock to control it.

Ask yourself this question John :

What failure? Linux aside (because it isn't all that there is to GNU
software by a long shot), much of the internet is running on GNU/Open
source software.

Ask yourself this question John :
" Why has the GNU philosophy continued to fail us ? "

Ask yourself this question: Seeing as how the basic operating principles
of Google are pretty well known, why can't a software company with a
bottomless R&D budget build their own competing product?

 

[Alan Connor]

For a community that promotes freedom and openness, that would be extremely
restrictive.

I thought we were promoting Linux.

And how would you even know if a client is a Linux user?

That would be established when they signed up for access to the search
engine.

Hi Paul Hovnanian P.E. ,
You say :
" why can't a software company
with a bottomless R&D budget

Because Google is _ Smarter _ than Microsoft ?

Pit Money vs. Smarts and Smarts wins every time .

But that doesn't mean that GNU won and Google lost .

Wiki is an amazingly good concept ,
but _ Some _ money is always need ...
Hence Google beat Wiki .

" The first ever wiki site was created for
the Portland Pattern Repository in 1995 .
That site now hosts tens of thousands of pages . "

Hi Paul Hovnanian P.E. ,

Yes , Including Google itself .

But Google is doing an IPO ...

What works , works ... Why be a purist at all costs ?

Bailo loves playing the martyr ...
Like that drunk I saw the other day
saying " I'm Jesus ! I'm Jesus ! "
as the campus cops handcuffed him .

spam bayes proves the concept...

implementation is putting it into a search engine.

GNU search will win ultimately...

 

[jbailo]

i can't win, so i dis

true.

 

[Jeff Relf]

Hi Bailo ,
You prophesy : " GNU search will win ultimately ... "

So why isn't GNU winning _ Now _ ?

Hi Bailo , You say : " GET OFF MY ASS . "

What exactly do you want me to do ?

Just give me the word ... and I'll plonk you .
