Why is Everybody so clueless on the importance of Desktop Search to the Masses?

    First I did a complete reinstall of windows xp. That took 3 hours.

    Any of you done a reinstall of your system lately. I bet it wasn't as simple as mine.  

    If you can't easily and quickly re-install your OS then your data isn't as secure as it could be.

    Um, if it took you 3 hours to reinstall Windows XP, then I can guarantee my reinstalls have been a lot more simple than yours. 

    Come on, it isn't nice to make fun of the mentally retarded...



  • Answer to the ClueLessNess - Finally

    I should have known. I'd find the answer here.

    The techies don't know dick about Desktop Search. (with the exception of 1 or TWO)

    That's why I have never had any takers on a desktop search challenge. Even moreso now, when they can look at and test out this wonderful program. They know the Spectate Swamp would make them look bad. There search came from internet search. What rubbish.

    Why techies don't need search. They don't keep notes like I did throughout my career. 1 or 2 type written pages per day every day. Seldom did I solve the same problem twice. I'd check my notes for any previous errors. They don't keep notes because they are covering their butts and for job security. I was a consultant most of the time. My superiors loved the detail they got. I can search my inmails and find the first time I was called ignorant.  That was a fun debate. You know you are winning when the other side resorts to name calling. I'm saving these nasty clips for motivational purposes. In the destkop search showdown I'll make them eat their words.

    In all my years I seen some pretty sad code too. If I had spent my time whining about it like this bunch. I would have been down the road. I made changes to code where the originator was contacted and he said "Don't touch that Code" . I took 2 or 3 days to flowchart it and made the changes that worked. I was the maintenance guy for that project till I left.

    I know now that I need to SHOW YOU how I use desktop search, to make compter life simpler. When you can understand everything that the program does. And you will. It will be far easier for you to make use of it. SORRY for calling you all clueless. You just never saw or heard of real desktop search before.

    My data is at my fingertips and as secure as I want it. Can't touch this Search.

     You are very right. We will just never understand you or your program.

    You should definitely look for other forums where the people might be 'with it' enough to take you seriously.

    We all just think you are a flaming fool.

    Well It probably doesn't search gobs of textual data better than anything else. But it does search gobs of textual data way way better than most. If I could only count the ways. Random large font scrolling text is one.

    I was hoping somebody would do some tests on it with large large text files. (no limit) Maybe some database extract.

    See how easy it was. Check for "Cmd(76)" and "Cmd(77)" in the source.txt file.

    Change the number of lines per page and the font size along with characters per line. Maybe ever put in some blank lines in the target file. I used it to search randomly and display political forum questions. I put the color of the match to that of the background to clear that from display. It's not that tuff and great for motivational sayings etc.

    You cannot claim a "victory" for your search app merely by the lack of takers in a challenge. Yours is NOT the superior technology merely because no one else cares to "challenge" it. I highly doubt they "know the Spectate Swamp would make them look bad". I am completely certain that they do not even know you exist.

    Consider it from this angle: Your DesktopSearch is so miserably inferior, your challenge is the equivalent of an amoeba (DesktopSearch) inviting an elephant (Everyone else) to duke it out. They don't answer your challenge because they don't even realize you exist.

    I offer this as a parallel: From time to time, certain companies will try to make a bit splash in the tech world by claiming unbreakable encryption, totally secure system, unhackable firewalls, etc... etc... They "prove" their claim by challenging one and all to do whatever it is their product claims to guard against. Maybe they'll offer a prize, maybe they offer nothing. But invariably, when their challenge (and prize) go unclaimed, they try to make further waves claiming that the lack of winners in the challenge has proved their technological claims are true.

    This is exactly the situation you find yourself in. You challenge us all to try your program. None of us do. You take this to mean that we admit you're right. But that's exactly wrong, we don't bother to try your program because we can see (and you yourself have admitted) that it's utterly useless.

    And hey, since you're so obviously advanced in search technology, light years beyond the existing stuff, why are you not in line at the patent office? Were your claims true, you'd be sitting on potential metric buttload of cash from patent royalties and licensing fees. Why aren't you down in Seattle knocking on Bill Gates' door? They just bought FAST to gain search technology... If only they'd know about your program, they might have saved some of the $1.2 billion that FAST cost them. And better yet, you've written the stuff in their own personal toy language! Why are you wasting your time here on us lamebrained search-deprived know-nothings?

    I, too, had moments where I thought a proper anti-spam filter such as the one in TB would filter out Spectate's (longer) posts. They resemble those spamz that consist of random short sentences and words.

    Maybe a human running a megahal several times, then posting the result they think sounds most plausible?

     

    I dunno, I still kinda think he's just a deluded human being, because (a) he seems to be deluded in the same few consistent ways, and (b) someone had to write that damn code.  (I showed it to a Brainfuck programmer I know and he said "now that's just criminal" - that's how awful it is.)

     



  • I think I understand SpectateSwamp a bit better after review all of his posts.  I believe that what he calls a 'Desktop Search' is a misnomer for something much greater.  Think of a new user interface, such as Microsoft Bob, but only bigger.  Now think of a new layer in the OSI model, namely the "Swamp" layer that sits above the application layer.  Have you twisted your heads around that yet?  Well if you have, then you can start to understand why SpectateSwamp is so excited about his concept!  Imagine the computer architects of the world having to abstract all current data to the user through the "Swamp" layer, in effect turning all visual data into ASCII text, .JPG files, and .MPG files, all accessible through a simple and fun to use front end! 

    It really is amazing that Microsoft Bob wasn't considered as the next OSI layer, but  guess the world just wasn't ready.

    SpectateSwamp, I recommend you take up your cause with the ISO rather than continue to push your concepts here, they will be more accommodating I am sure.

    I, too, had moments where I thought a proper anti-spam filter such as the one in TB would filter out Spectate's (longer) posts. They resemble those spamz that consist of random short sentences and words.

    Either that, or really strange Underworld lyrics. 

    desktopsearch,  desktopsearch, desktopsearch, desktopsearch
    i'm invincible,  i'm invincible

    why don't you try it, search works nice for me
    why don't you try it, search works nice for me

    i'm an eraser of sense ...

    Sure you could keep extensive notes on what is found on each page and cross reference that with where in the video each page is shown, but actually having the text to search is much easier and much better (and takes up much less space).

    In the real world, we call that the book's index. 



  • I've written some nice desktop search program too! It doesn't even need some fancy UI and is written in .net!

    using System;
    void main(string[] args)
    {
      if (args.Length > 0 && String.Compare(args[0], "Paula", true) == 0)
        Console.WriteLine("Brillant!");
    }
    

    Invoke this like "search Paula"... I feel you have a real competitor now...



  • MasterPlanSoftWare Anti-Desktop Search BOT

    A more Botty guy I never Knew.

    Only 1 other forum where I'm battling cluelessness and that is:

     

    I just don't want to double post. Anyway don't worry once I have clued you in on this Desktop Search. I have ONE other program to show you. It was a key part when doing initial data dumps during conversions. Very very simple and powerful.

    By any chance do you have a marketing background?  Cuz you certainly don't have a tech background.  Quotes like "Very very simple and powerful" lead me to believe you're more marketing than substance. 

    Not that you're good at either.

    There is really nothing you are going to show us that we will want to see.

    Thanks anyway.

     I could tell you software horror stories. The most elegant code that couldn't run. Written by a Mensa who refused to change it because it was soooo elegant

    It was beautiful code. Just like you nerds want. A piece of spagett here and there and the program would probably have worked and done a fine job. But as it was She was soon sent packing. The replacement was much much better.

    No. You ARE a software horror story. Have you ever considered that maybe everyone else is not wrong? And that maybe the problem is you?

    Now seriously. Are you mentally handicapped? Because you can't even seem to string a sentence together. I suppose from your postings that no one should be surprised about that steaming pile of crap you call code. 

    Don't even bother insulting our intelligence by thinking that we would believe that you have worked professionally in the software industry. It simply has never happened.

    Don't you love how he still refuses to actually answer questions.

    Bottie bottie calm down. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be all knowing.

    Good idea that MasterPlanSoftWare was getting pure silly.
