Topic: Syntax reminds me of Ask Jeeves
Anonymous A started this discussion 8 years ago #74,642
The idea was you could just ask "Jeeves" the butler questions in natural language (this was big deal in 1996 when you had to use Boolean logic and shit) and he would search the web (he's your butler, get it??) to find results. Syntax is the same. Just talk about anything and he'll bring you search results from around the web.

Answer this honest Pleassssse.
Did you once ever use Ax Jeeves and get a sufficient result? Wayyyyy back in dark ages of internet when looking for information there were false links that led one to Ax Jeeves and the results on a search there were so much less than desirable and next to useless - After like that 3rd or 4th false trap I looked hard to not land up on Ax Jeeves.
Just looked them up and they exist LOLOL yet NOT REALLY
So I said wot is this joint currently -" Ask.fm had 180 million monthly unique users in more than 150 countries around the world" AND They have to accept home page hijacking ( taking advantage of a user's lack of technical experience )
Amazing the Goobers that still use such a site And the way it works is - I ask a question and instead of a search engine cranking out results - You OP end up being the expert 2give me a reply.
Proof that Google is just one step away from You being the expert that can answer this question>

In 2010, Ask.com abandoned the search industry, with the loss of 130 search engineering jobs, because it could not compete against more popular search engines such as Google

Pick any number. If that number is even, divide it by 2. If it's odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Now repeat the process with your new number. If you keep going, you'll eventually end up at 1. Every time.
Mathematicians have tried millions of numbers and they've never found a single one that didn't end up at 1 eventually. The thing is, they've never been able to prove that there isn't a special number out there that never leads to 1. It's possible that there's some really big number that goes to infinity instead, or maybe a number that gets stuck in a loop and never reaches 1. But no one has ever been able to prove that for certain.

I did use it a few times in the late '90s and it wasn't bad (by contemporary standards). What put me off was Jeeves the character: why do I want to ask some old ass guy in a suit? I didn't grow up with P.G. Wodehouse so it just seemed weird to me.

We had to sell the idea of the Internet to all the old people so they wanted all those AOL CDs. Besides, we got a generation of kids who got paid to set up confused looking GeoCities pages for all their weird relatives. Those kids were primed for the future of making money on the Internet.

> can you tell me about daytrading?
Sure it's not so much so easy and that said - Make it a game for a month and I mean one solid month with you just playing on paper with no money invested and C how you do. My goal is kinda simple. To make only 5 to 7% gain daily. That is on average because some days I end up loosing. It is a lot of work for me for the short gains because I have to be sure that when any stock takes a dip so I can buy in with belief it will jump up in a day or three I have to be sure there are no negative views by Others
There are all kinds of strategies which you can read about on the web. Pick an amount you are willing to lose because you are really gambling.
I am ALSO NO Good doing this when the market is stable - Others can find bad news about a company during good times and watch it drop and buy in - I am NOT good at that - I only buy in on a dip and hold for long term IF I am damn sure that stock is going to eventually jump up and make me real money say one year later.
Look at blogs people set up on a company so you can get somewhat inside information - Just remember BUYER Beware.

whatever.
For math you need to play four dimensions and twist it. Then drop vectors where you want, insert them on the coordinates you want you want. Insert some rectas, and then you let the vectors play music as they travel the rectas. That was how mozart created one of his most famous pieces.
Now piss off.

So so. They have been giving out lay off notices so there is that atmosphere that has the air of sadness. However compared to the almost recent RAPE - Its not really all that bad when compared to how it was just not so many days ago.
Did my contributions 2day mean much? Doubt much I suggested 2day will count but time will tell.

I did not use Geo much at all but it was super popular ULTRA Popular. Then Yahoo bought it and that was just prior to dot com bubble burst. Yahoo fucked it up business wise and lost billions on the deal with a customer base that was mad as all fuck.
One of the cities I used on Geo was the Napa valley wine site. Met some local's in my hood and got them to join a wine tasting class at UCLA. Then moved from Marina del Rey to San Diego and lost touch with most of those new friends.
A friend needed a subject for her PhD at UCLA and I suggested the rise and fall of Geocities. Because she was a Business major it was a perfect fit. Yahoo ended up offering her lots of money to buy her research and talked her out of publishing and she joined Yahoo in some fancy position - Lost touch of her and will have to look her up.
