OT Google searches
As you're probably aware, Google is being asked to supply search
information to the Feds, ostensibly to stop "child pornography." Google stores lots of information even if you don't use their email, blog, toolbar, or have cookies enabled. Yahoo has already capitulated .. . . There's a search engine that uses Google and doesn't keep records called Scroogle. I did a couple of side by side searches and got good results. Search terms: schematic battery charger -com ( the -com helps eliminate a lot of chaff) The first three hits with Scroogle yielded actual schematics of battery chargers. The first three hits with Google yielded discussions about battery chargers and no schematics (save a partial chip pin-out and possibly links to schematics) They also ditch the Google ads. They call their hack Scroogle http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm The yahoo version http://www.scroogle.org/scraper7.html Home page http://www.scroogle.org/ Where they mention the Clusty search engine http://clusty.com/search?v%3aframe=form&form=advanced& Clusty is non-tracking, avoids Google searches and allows more search refinement The test search yielded one schematic and breaks down the results by types of charger so one can just look at automobile battery chargers, or NIMH chargers, NICAD, pic based, etc.. -- ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Or everybody could google for "Anarchist's Cookbook" and overload the system. Actually, don't know if the cookbook still exists anywhere. All the copies I was aware of have long since been purged. (not that I condone any of that but just out of a sense of scientific curiosity...) Speaking of google and scientific curiosity, it is science fair season again. Neighbor's 12 year old came over last night looking for some ideas. After talking for a while to find out what his interests were, we googled for "science fair projects". Picked a few and got about six in the area of Physics to kick about. I was feeling like Professor Kingsfield in 'The Paper Chase' by the end of the evening. What was his big quote, something about "skulls full of mush"? Mentoring - ain't it great. |

I don't see it on the cotse web site - which might have been the original site. Cotse seems to have cleaned up their act and are more sedate these days. Lot of good info in the cookbook - but probably nothing that would win the hearts and minds of science fair judges (post 9/11). What kind of sci fair projects? Pity the poor fools that pay the tariff for an education and still have skulls full of mush. -- ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I really wouldn't trust HIS chemistry! |
