Obviously, The Inquirer would never run a story without picking up the phone.

Dell Doesn't dump Ubuntu

Too bad the commentators and authors never actually worked in IT.

I spent the 3 years before 2000 recoding a bunch of old apps so they wouldn't choke on their own vomit.

It was a bunch of folks like me wasting their time recoding old crap instead of writing new (crap) that *prevented* a Y2K disaster.

So thank us instead of straining your imagination to pretend we didn't exist.

The mass media have undermined their own credibility. Replaced by blogs and alternative news sites, folks have seen journalism return, just without Murdoch and his ilk acting as the filter. 

Once folks realize they have been lied to the Internet does guide them to the truth, eventually. Most often it leads straight to the ones openly admitting the manipulation. Murdoch, the CFR, PNAC - all have such grand egos, they boast of their manipulations openly. Their own ego killed their "journalism".

Liberty accommodates the fools as well.

Which is just about nil at this point in time. The Y2K bug was a massive, three-year PR blitz after which nothing came, not even an ATM crash.
How many times have we been warned of impending Internet meltdowns due to some new virus ? More than I can remember. Did the Internet actually melt down ? Nope, still there, going strong.
I cannot imagine that anyone with a brain is going to pay attention to that kind of drivel.
What is true, however, is the capacity of the internet media wankers to believe in their capacity for forecasting mayhem and armageddon. There's no limit to that.

It did take a while to find it but here's the Flat Earth Society "web page". It's just a set of forums.

That's been a problem since before the www became commonplace in the home and workplace - it's just a bad practice that's carried over from TV and papers to online.

I watched the www change from a homely useful-ish resource to the advert-laden spam-filled no-one-at-the-helm mess that much of it is today. 
The web was meant to give power back to the "little people" but what's happened rather a lot is that the main problem we all wanted away from, has consumed many sites and areas online and standardised them all to it's reality-tv level of zombie-consciousness. 
Search engines can be useful in certain areas, but mainly aren't any use for searching outwith the brain-drained areas.
Their boolean systems don't actually return results with those ANDs you specified.
I've even found that within a few hours and a few hundred yards (ie - logging on from different ISPs on a different telecomms line), I can put the same term into the same search engine - and it yields very different results.
This could be put down to regular updates, but then you try it again on another day - the exact same thing happens.
