Altavista was my fave (in the days before Google existed). Searching the web using regular expressions was nice.

Haha... that screen brings back memories for me...

In all seriousness though I have had similar moments at work where a co-worker is trying to make some ridiculously overcomplicated parser in C# or whatever and then I bust out a sed one-liner to do it all in one go. :P but I don't use it often enough to function at wizard-level... always keep a regex book handy

Maybe that's why i couldn't use my FB account for my FFBE save last week. Lost a years worth of work in the game too. Stupid Gummi for forcefeeding it down our throats.

If you ever have to quote a wikipedia article to win an argument or make a point online, you have already lost.
The fact you have posted a screenshot and highlighted an area now means you owe iubjaved some rather serious damages in the form of monetary compensation.

As a confirmed Wikipedian of 5 years experience I really don't get it why some people have this tendency to undermine & devalue Wikipedia when all it does is provide free (impartial & accredited) knowledge to everyone, doesn't promote any product on its site/app, doesn't have an annoying Patreon link in every page & also doesn't have an intrusive data mining setup.
@Sachys: Before you throw up the "anybody can edit it = vandalism" argument, I suggest you try & change a verified fact on this page you would understand why I'm referring to this particular page to an unverified one, which should also stay live/active for more than 1 week. And FYI, Wells 🤜🏼 Dorksey 2️⃣4️⃣/7️⃣.
As for my owing @iubjaved any monetary compensation, I think you should have seen his profile using the 'Enhanced Steam' extension before making that suggestion.

I do positively believe that Sachys was cracking a joke.
Also, I think iubjaved said that Google Plus is "dead" in the sense that people don't use it much, if at all. With all the (pretty considerable) effort Google put into getting people to use it, it just never got the traction. It stayed a backup thing of sorts or something. But insofar as you count activity as the service being still provided, yes, it is "active". Being active in one sense and inactive/dead in another are not always mutually exclusive. :)

Why, thank you! :)
Incidentally, I noticed you blacklisted me recently. May I know why?
Comment has been collapsed.
Cassol being Cassol.
I would never blacklist you, babe.

He's blacklisted me as well, it seems. It's always a bit weird to notice something like that if there's nothing apparent. But they can do what they want. :D

In my case, I like to know the reason because it might be something that I did, and I'd like to fix it if it's possible to. If there's nothing I can do, then that's that, but sometimes there is something I can do. :)

I'm on the same boat as you. But I've learned that sometimes it just is something you can't help. Things like opinions, ideas or certain giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed! And in those cases you just accept that as a fact of life and move on. :)

I loved how the first result was always some shitty virus thing made out of what you searched for, like relaxing_classical_music_teenage_beethoven_getting_destroyed_by_three_black_cocks.exe 297 kB

I don't use Facebook, but I know quite a few people who do. Though sadly it seems like most people are completely apathetic to this sort of thing these days.

Oh yeah.But only as protocol, the messenger itself was shit. Trillian, Miranda or qip.

Oh yeah, good old times where you found all the ICQ numbers in forum signatures and you always got that ever-annoying 'a-oh' informing you about a new message :D. I wonder what became of IRC, too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, though WhatsApp's whistle tone is even more annoying and you hear it everywhere.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yeah, more important to show passerbys that one's getting called than to speak/listen to the caller. :D

IRC is a lot more niche than it used to be, but it's still the main form of communication for some communities and even (gasp) companies (with their own infrastructure, evidently).

why the fuck do people still have facebook? deleted mine in like 2012
Comment has been collapsed.
Couldn't care less, but due to the way you're asking: Why the fuck did you use it at all?
Comment has been collapsed.
lol, this attitude is way more annoying than people who love social media.
Comment has been collapsed.
You deleted Facebook, but Facebook did not delete you :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Well if you own a business, you will need a social media for marketing.
Most of family/friends members who are in different countries use it to keep in touch in each other/ keep updated.
I am not against using facebook, i am against using personal information on it.

wonder if tom is still my friend on myspace (._. )
Comment has been collapsed.
I do. I remember all of them, and didn't use any of them. I do my socializing with people the old-fashioned way, face to face, and I certainly don't want my personal information all over the Internet.

i stopped using Facebook about a year ago, best decision ever. Now lets check twitter.

I've always said that Facebook was evil. I mean, it's a book, with a face. What's more evil than that?
Comment has been collapsed.
I only use it to access my town's group, to get the juicy news.
Pretty much all the data I have filled in are internet copypastas and offensive jokes, so the hackers are welcome to help themselves to it.
DID YOU KNOW, the text boxes for Gender, Religious & Political views seem to have no character limit? My About section is over 100k characters long. Did some further copypasting, seems one field can fit 63k characters

"Facebook on Friday said an attack on its computer network led to the exposure of information from nearly 50 million of its users.
The company discovered the breach earlier this week, finding that attackers had exploited a feature in Facebook’s code that allowed them to take over user accounts. Facebook fixed the vulnerability and notified law enforcement officials..."
