Stuck with postgres 8.4

I am setting up my old PS3 with ubuntu in order to be my PPC server for my entrepreneurial adventures.

After upgrading from 9.04 to the always annoying karmic koala ( :P ) , I could not find the postgis modules I need so after a few drinks and a late night of playing around I ended up with postgres 8.3 and 8.4 in my server.... 

I almost set up the server again because I could not remove the postgres 8.4 packages due to some manual removal of files (I know I'm dumb, you don't have to remind me). Lucky shot, I found this thread over the ubuntu forums where another asshole did something similar hahahahaha

Decision Engine ?

I just check the new ad the guys from Microsoft made to promote Bing (their search engine) and I cannot deny that is catchy...

It is not a search engine...  it's a decision engine... Huge difference and attacks directly google's over flooding their users with worthless links and corrupted page-rank values based on dummy websites.

On my view, perception + user needs are going to be the most important things to predict in order to provide the best searching experience (let's not forget the valuable and highly traceable info that we generate...)

Summary,  do not search for hardcore porn with your logged account !!!!  ahahahaha
