Phillip, We bring this up often in our CFUG discussions as pretty much the best way possible to fail: blatant ignorance. Awesome story, good day to bring it up.
With the amount of money and collected data that Google has, I think at this point it is futile to start a new search engine. Also, the requirement for around 4 exabytes of RAM on your web server will really cost you. Luckyily, it will still fit on a 64 bit architecture, so no need to move to 128 bit CPUs (yet). nathan strutz [Blog and Family @ http://www.dopefly.com/] [AZCFUG Manager @ http://www.azcfug.org/] On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 9:57 PM, Phillip Senn <[email protected]> wrote: > > I read a few years back someone was developing a search engine on a par > with Google.
