Hello everyone !
I'm an independent consultant, meaning I work at several different locations throughout the day, week or month.
At some of these locations I have an office, or at least a server room with a console. I check Free Republic while at those consoles.
One of my clients is an enemy of the american way. I am there now.
So to keep this site off my "obvious" history and avoid questions, I'll browse to Free Republic via Google:
Go to www.google.com In the search field I type "freerep". This will fill in the rest in the field below (FreeRepublic) At this point, I click that link and it takes me directly there. This is a commonly used feature of Google. This keeps the direct entry out of my "drop down" list on the browser, and the query itself out of my recent searches.
Today that's changed. It's no longer displaying a direct link to Free Republic. Instead it takes me to a usual google search for it - where I have to click on the first link in the list (Which happens to be Free Republic). It's added it to my recent searches list. (awwwww.... It's not important)
I am aware of how popular web tools are politically charged, but is what I'm seeing another attention-getter to Google to attempt to push FreeRepublic off of it's results ?
Any thoughts ?
Yes, but it doesn’t really delete it. It is still there hidden.

Go here http://distrowatch.com/ slide down to Puppy Linux should be ranked number 10 or 11 it offers the option to install to a pen drive,that way you save everything on there bookmarks and such.This way you can have a whole operating system to carry in your pocket,also you can burn it to a disk and try it out most versions of linux you can do that try them out without having to install anything to your hard drive.
Huh. I did. Not. Know. That.
It doesn’t seem to do anything on my computer
Sounds like a lot of hatred of people high up at ABC. I doubt the pions aren’t liberals as I am sure all people who lean right were slowly phased out. But this shows that ABC is a mess and as such it reflects in their news coverage.
Get a laptop and broadband card of your own. Their culture may be stupid, but it is their equipment and they get the last say on how it is used.
I’ve been running Ubuntu from a 32 gb pen drive on my work computer now for about 8 months. I have it partitioned so I can access 27 gb of it while running. I only use the Windows XP drive on the computer for storing files, and I do everything else (browsing, word processing, etc) from the pen drive.
Works slick as a whistle.
To tell the truth I have 5 operating systems on this one box,I do some testing on Linux and that is the best way to find some of the bugs see how it coexist with other systems.
I do have Ubuntu right now but is a ditro called Zorin very cool if you like the looks of Vista. I don’t have Windows at all haven’t for years.
