I don't get it. Looks like a normal search results page to me...

Look at the top left of the search results:

"Did you mean . . ."

Oops, too slow. Sorry.

Just an aside ... Soft Linden noted yesterday what happens when you Google 'recursion'. Genius. :)
In Kernighan and Ritchie's original "The C programming Language", if you look up "recursion" in the index... the last entry listed is page 269... which is the page you're looking at.

If it was the last entry, it would be tail-recursion.

And you don't have to turn the page, so you get tail-recursion optimization for free!

They are just trying to hide it from corporations and the general public not stamp it out.

Thankfully, their work is paying off. I've logged in ten times in the last month and my eyes have not been assaulted by a single topless avatar.

I don't get the impression that they are trying to "stamp it out", it was Philip who said in the early years "Pr0n is what drives the Intenet."

I think what they are trying to do is put it back behind closed doors so it isn't quite in your face from the minute you hit mainland after orientation.



Agree. I actually think giving xxx content its own space legitimized it more than anything. And some of the larger xxx content providers wanted it for that reason.

I don't know if it is closed doors if you can TP there just like anywhere else. But maybe it seems that way cause the age verification issues for some?

Sex here can be like opening a can of baked beans and eating them cold - but I kinda like them cold and on the side of a salad

I don't get the "Did you mean recursion?" thing from Google either. The Wikipedia link is the first thing.

It's a geeky math joke over the meaning of the word recursion.

"My name is Yon Yonson
I live in Wisconsin
I work in a lumbermill there.

When I walk down the street,
The people I meet
They ask "What's your name?" and I say...

"My name is Yon Yonson
I live in Wisconsin...

My apologies. I really do need to get out a little more. ;)

Well, shoot! It doesn't do that anymore. :(

Still.... Kinda reminds me of that old Google joke where you'd type "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in the search field and click "I Feel Lucky". http://mist.xvand.com/humor/weapons.html#

It never was. That was just hysterical hyperbolic nonsense. There were definitely cases of it being in inappropriate places, but for the most part you had to lok for it to find it. At least in my experience.
The problem with looking at individual experiences only is that they do not signify anything. My experience was quite the opposite of yours, it was absolutely everywhere from hour one, and to this day I have never gone 'looking for it' (though I certainly know places now where it's nearly absent).

p.s. Plus, I have always maintained, somewhere here Newt Gingrich is playing a 12-year old girl. He's not letting that go, nossir!



Newt? Perhaps. Rush? DEFinitely.

I think you need to define what "it" is, and what it means for "it" to be in a place. For example, one of you might consider inappropriate use of a pronoun in chat to be sufficient to dismiss the location as a place where "it" is, and the other would require actual neuter pronouns in the land description.
