Yeah, but once upon a time Yahoo WAS the best search engine out there.  Now search is not their primary service anymore. Google does search better than anybody else out there, Yahoo's more one of them "portal" things....  |

| to be "correct", yahoo was a directory, not a search engine. They relied on other companies like Inktomi and Alta Vista to do their searching for them. The results they got back from that would be used as new things in the directory. Nowadays, their directory is not very effective anymore. | |||

| Not sure if Mozilla changed the name from Bird to Fox with a new version release or on the fly. I'd strongly suspect the former. Yahoo's still a good search, I sometimes use it in the RARE cases that I can't find what I want through Google... I mean, being #2 isn't *that* bad even if your #1 competitor can't really be stopped at this point in time.  Best of the rest. |

| The only real problem I ever have with Google is that it doesn't seem to be able to search for non-alphanumeric characters...sometimes I need to search for some symbol, or string of text that includes a symbol, for some programming language... | |||

| I can't remember which version it was where it switched to Firefox. But it used to be Phoenix before it was Firebird... so it's changed name a few times now. That's what lead to the "Firesomething' extension...  |

| I wish that damn Firesomething would update. The Author hadn't updated it in some time, and his site dosen't even have a "I'm alive!!!" update. :/ The latest version of Firesomething dosen't work with the latest version of Firefox. This is how I remember Yahoo, back in the day. I really don't have any early memories than that from using the net personally. So it's must been between 1996-1997 where I got online for the first time. (edited by Kitten Yiffer on 03-04-05 06:57 PM) |

| There no longer exists a good search engine. All they are good for these days are answering questions or giving information. I remember a time when search engines were used to find different types of websites just for the fun of finding websites. Oh well, it's great that yahoo is 10, which means that I have been using the internet for 10 years. However, my feelings for it have changed alot through that time. I wonder what it will be like another 10 years down the road... |

...But they still are today.  The size of the Internet probably has a lot to do with it. I loved exploring Yahoo's portal system back in 1998, but today it's of no use to me. |

| And infact, Internet as whole have quite some problems. Like the fact that IP addresses is running out but that's something IPv6 would fix. Even if it would mean longer IP addresses... Microsoft is also entering the game, with their MSN search. But I doubt it would catch up with Google or even Yahoo. Especially when it's anti-Bill gates sites who pop up when you search for his name. |

| MSN search biases the results to fit Microsoft's motives...searvh for "Linux" on MSN and then on Yahoo or Google. A LOT more anti-Linux sites appear on MSN search. And won't a lot of software have to be updated for IPv6? For instance, Acmlmboards log the IP address of each post, would changes have to be made to the database and whatnot to allow for IPv6 addresses to be logged? |

| Going from IPv4 to IPv6 won't be a problem. However, making sites support IPv6 is a different issue. But, if I remember correctly, acmlm stores the IP address in text form, so it won't be an issue here. | |||

| But do all boards do that? A lot of board systems probably use a 32-bit type to save space...those will all have to be converted to the 128-bit size that IPv6 uses. | |||

| it will take some time for IPv6 to be adopted but it WILL be adopted. It just has to... The big issue about converting to IPv6 is money. It would have been easier back then to do the switch because there was less people. If only we could have a decision that "If you don't switch by this date, you are disconnected from the Internet." Such a decision was made back then in the 80s in order to get people to use IP in the first place (or something internet related) |

| I'd liken the IPv4/v6 thing to cell phone use. Cities are very reluctant to introduce new area codes due to the increase in cell phones, and will only do so once they are virtually out of new numbers. It'll be the same with IPv6 - nobody wants to do it at the moment, there's no super-urgent need to do it tomorrow... but the second IP's start getting scarce, look out. | |||

Well, one thing that have to work is something that works with IPv4/v6 thing, it's possible to use both with bridges and such. I just hope forgetten servers just don't break down becuse of everyone changing IP system.  But besides, people say that Internet is unstable and could crash large parts of itself in not in a too far future. Internet wasn't really made for being this big... |

| IPv6 isn't anything hard to do. It's basically updating software to recognise and support it. I know two people on IRC who have IPv6 with their ISPs... and the IP string looks funny in hex and colons. The Internet is not a single entity. It just can't crash... the Internet was made to be this big. It's made to be the largest network in the world. one that connects the whole world with just about everyone else. In fact, it's basically a giant P2P network at its infrastructure. There is no central servers... what keeps the Internet running are the computers connected to it |

| Yeah, but you ever heard about the DDOS attacks that what made a few years ago against certain nodes? Apparently a few nodes was enough to make a large parts of the internet to loose connection with each other. The few nodes that was left got too much traffic and also did go down. (or at least, traffic did go very slowly through them...) So it's not stable as people think, althought as long they prevent thoose DDOS attacks... (edited by Kitten Yiffer on 03-07-05 06:16 AM) |
