Yeah, from now on, we should just post using text converted to images. SpectateSwamp will be forced to use his camcorder to "video in" the rest of the thread.
You mean somethimg like this?

Can't you solve your problem with an AOP framework?

Any chance of a quick summary?
THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE YOU RETARD.*
That about sums up the whole thread.
But if you can spare a day or two, I highly recommend it. But please do not read it when you're mentally unstable.

To SpectateSwamp,
No one will ever be convinced! Stop this nonsense!
To all who have replied to this nonsense,
Thank [replace with leader of a religion to your choosing] this is 2008 and not some 100 years earlier and SS took the in obsessive interest in something he describes as Desktop Search. On top of that. He keeps referring to himself as the expert on that subject, no matter what everyone else is saying. What if it was the year 1900 or so and he was a self proclaimed medical expert? This idea alone boggles the mind and I'll leave it to the imagination of the reader to think of some horrible scenarios. Which might go like this:Dr. Doug has the solution to an illness taking down the masses: the yellow fever. After some ten years of experimenting Dr. Doug, who now calls himself YellowHead, creates his own pedestal on the town square of many towns and start rambling about having a cure for the worst disease known to the masses. But lo and behold he has a solution which has extracted from his swamp near his residence, which he refers to as his shack. In this shack he has his own (Very Big) chemical set (version 5) and he's mixing up a deadly medication a some recipies of hundreds of years back.
What if some of the masses tried this medication?I had a lot of fun reading all this 2000+ posts nonsense but it has to stop somewhere I think ... let's just all ignore him.
Finally I'd like to give you my interpretation of his definition on Desktop Search:
"Searching some text in a file using a desktop application."* turning off the email subsciption to this thread *

RE: Why is Everybody so clueless on the importance of Desktop Search to the Masses?
Wow, that is a fast answer. But not an answer to the question.
@Wikipedia said:
Desktop search is the name for the field of search tools which search the contents of a user's own computer files, rather than searching the Internet. These tools are designed to find information on the user's PC, including web browser histories, e-mail archives, text documents, sound files, images and video.

simplicity
You Failed.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Search is more than just extract
Depends on who is the reader. But you Failed. You can't extact anything but plain text, show images (3 formats) and show video.
@SpectateSwamp said:
... would require me showing off
Please don't, just show search capabilities.
@SpectateSwamp said:
... and moving pc to pc ...
Does not compute...
@SpectateSwamp said:
With video and pics uploaded to the net
It was Desktop Search we were talking about, right?
@SpectateSwamp said:
I need a couple swampies.
To do the searching for you?
So a re-cap:

I'm also very curious about what Mister Swamp would like to see as a fair set of rules to which all desktop search engine could reasonably be compaired against in the Showdown Of The Century.
Let me rephrase that, this sentence was way to too long to keep anyone's attention long enough to remember what I asked for to begin with. Surely the Masses' attention. (He did reply to a reply on my question with fewer words though.)
Sorry.
To: SpectateSwamp
Could you please define your Showdown rules?

Some showdown. The first requirement was to download files for 2 days. 20 hrs per Gig and a 2.?? Gig file. I'd sooner watch paint dry. I do like the video demo. No better way to duke it out, than with video.
<snip />You have been asking on several forums for a showdown and every time a challenge is laid down that isn't exactly what you want you simply choose not to partake, in other words you fail, lose, do not win, do not prove your case and forfeit your right to keep promoting SSDS and making these unfounded claims.
spenk, I totally agree with what you say.
But... I'm also very curious about what Mister Swamp would like to see as a fair set of rules to which all desktop search engine could reasonably be compaired against in the Showdown Of The Century.
PS. This is by far the best (and only) soap opera I ever watched continuously :-).

I'm pretty well caught up for now.
With what or whom? Not with anyone living in this world right now I'd say.
There's a fine line between genious and crazyness. But Doug, really c'mon man, you have past that line a very long time ago and you're far beyond help now.
I'm done feeding.

Don't let this group discourage you. There is no such thing as constructive criticism.
I never thought of all these replies as critisism. Just curious souls wanting to know more about search. I think I know what the masss want. You convinced me. Therefore I'm starting the new search in VB.NET.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Don't mention my name if you try putting it up on sourceforge.net.
Why not?
@SpectateSwamp said:
Open source is a powerful thing. Form a team and test this search out.
I think there are some great programmers out here that are very willing to help out.
@SpectateSwamp said:
Anything I can do with video? I can
explain and demonstrate the areas of code that may be of concernI'd rather have some code samples in VB.NET. Maybe you can help me out searching and optimized version.
@SpectateSwamp said:
The both of your show incredible insight. You should team up. SSDS could use you both.
Thanks a lot.
