27 Kicks

submitted by yesthatmcgurk(4063) 3 years, 9 months ago

JA and Joel Spolsky join forces to kick the s*t out of Experts Exchange. I didn't know anybody else hated them as much as I did. I even toyed with the idea of creating a google frontend to append -experts-exchange to any search....

I hope they open source the project

Yea, as much as JA says .NET needs more open source projects (or a better open source community) ... I hope that this would be OSS'd too.

Thank goodness. EE is garbaj.

Am I the only one that just doesn't get the point of Yet Another Development Messageboard being developed from scratch at this stage?

Beating ExEx is a strawman. Like developing a search engine to beat Lycos, when Google already exists.

This comment on that post (in response to people saying the name is dumb) is hilarious...

"Despite what some of us have said about the name choice, at least you won't need to change it later down the road when someone points out the unfortunate juxtaposition of the words...like expertsexchange.com

Congrats on the new venture.

Yeah, that old domain of the EE was as bad as, say, therapist.com etc ;)

Here for the "main" Posters Problems...

1. Save the following into a .Reg File...
2. Import it into the registry
3. Goto the URL "g Whatever" (It also supports KB for MSDN and L for translating with Leo)
4. Enjoy clean search results...

Here are the keys:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\KB]
@="http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=%s"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\G]
@="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s -Experts-exchange"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\L]
@="http://dict.leo.org/ende?lang=de&search=%s"
