I mean it was about the 9th Amendment, I'm pretty sure, but there was just a link to an ARTICLE about the 9th Amendment

and what: not this, I suppose? (that's about letterman or o'reilly, but the thread also contains a link to a sketch where norm plays letterman - or something)

StanM, Thursday, 26 June 2008 18:28 (seventeen years ago)

what is the trick to google search the posts that are skipped?

carne asada, Thursday, 26 June 2008 18:28 (seventeen years ago)

Hurting, could it be this Slate article? http://www.slate.com/id/2186750/ - (can't seem to find the discussion here at the moment, but maybe the article is what you need?)

StanM, Thursday, 26 June 2008 18:36 (seventeen years ago)

xpost: huh? doesn't google search search complete threads?

StanM, Thursday, 26 June 2008 18:39 (seventeen years ago)

i don't think it does.

carne asada, Thursday, 26 June 2008 18:41 (seventeen years ago)

Google is pretty crap at indexing long threads. Even if its spider navigated through the "Skipping x messages at this point. Click here if you want to view them all" page (which I'm not sure it does), Google only ever indexes the first 101K of a web page's text, so it will always miss stuff lower down.

Alba, Thursday, 26 June 2008 22:06 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Google doesn't search any messages hidden in those middle "Skipping" sections. And since ILX Search only searches thread titles, there's no way to search for things in those gaps.

Where is the thread discussing Pitchfork's "Now That's What I Call New Pop" feature on the British New Pop movement of the early 1980s? The thread title was something like, "Now that Gang of Four and PIL have gone through a revival, isn't it about time Pitchfork started talking about New Pop?"

Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 6 July 2008 03:05 (seventeen years ago)

thank you P.P.

NI, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:46 (seventeen years ago)

I remember a thread about web 2.0 neologisms - "webinar", "blook" and the like that was pretty good. Can anyone link to it please?

Pashmina, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:50 (seventeen years ago)

Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:59 (seventeen years ago)

What do cast members of "The Real World" do after "The Real World"?

Is Dan being in Real World a joke or for real?

I think we have a thread for minor items that aren't worth their own thread, but I couldn't find it -- can anybody help?

Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 21:03 (seventeen years ago)

what was that thread where we wrote notes to people who were awesome on the off chance they found it later?

milo z, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 21:57 (seventeen years ago)

Is there already a thread for questions that don't really deserve their own thread?

two weeks pass...

Thread by Ed for minor queries about travel and things to do? Descended into questions just about Boston.

Also, since I have posted here now, does anyone know where 'the adventures of Tuomas, the lex and the pinefox' are? I have tried many times to find them, but with no success.

aldo, Thursday, 21 August 2008 12:19 (seventeen years ago)

I think it might've been in some ILX sandbox thread? But I don't know how to search there.

Tuomas, Thursday, 21 August 2008 12:34 (seventeen years ago)

I found it, it's in this thread:

Those round things that are in the middle of car tires and often seem to fall off, what's their purpose?

Tuomas, Thursday, 21 August 2008 12:48 (seventeen years ago)

Yay, thank you.

The first part of that thread was great as well.
