    Thumbs down Google != broken (apparently)

    It's only when something goes wrong that you realise how often you use it

    My assistance was too late then. I was gonna suggest that you go to www.google.com and type in "Problems with Google" or "Google not working"

    Re: Google != broken (apparently)

    Hm... "!="
    Looks to me like you've done a bit too much of C/C++/C#/PASCAL/FORTRAN etc. etc. lately.

    No matter how fool-proof your program is, there will always be a better fool.

    != isn't in FORTRAN I don't think

    Probably something like GGL . neq . BRKN

    You know when people do as if they're coughing, but they are really saying some thing like "nerd"? That it comes out something like HUHGnerdGG!

    I really feel like doing that right now.

    Makes me think of a very cool Dutch commercial.

    You should imagine this all going very fast and flashy over your screen:
    You see this Dutch guy all in glitter going to some very highclass art gallery, there is a lady giving air kisses to other people, clearly the owner of the gallery. The guy comes up to her gives her a real kiss. She moves back and screams "PERVERT!!". You see a shot of him getting arrested and thrown in jail. Behind him in the cell a very large nigger with a soft, warm voice: "Hellooo!"

    Then in a bar in the Netherlands:
    You see a group of guys. One of them: "Let's drink on Jaap, on the New York's Fine Art Gallery..." All: "On Jaap!"

    Then in the 'sequel':
    Same bar, Jaap is with the others.
    Guy: "How was New York?"
    Jaap: "Jeah... Nice..."
    Guy: "Come, have a sit."
    Jaap: "Uhm... No, I'd rather stand."

    Telling this one takes a great amount of power out, but it's really a very good commercial.
