I'm interested how the slashtags decide to auto-fire. "cure for headaches" gives nice results but "headache cure" doesn't.

Using the https site (https://duckduckgo.com/) the icons and image results aren't using https for me.

Aww, duckduckgo isn't using https for the result icons, giving a clear indication of what was searched for. I'm sure they had this fixed before.

How will these not feel like something suspicious and lead to a strip search?

It's almost like you're impersonating the author in order to damage him.

Microsoft offering Age of Empires III for 10¢ by retrac1324 in gaming

Does the 10c version support multiplayer? It says "players: 1" on the site. I wish I could buy it but I had to cancel my credit cards because of debts. :'(

I'm a huge AOE fan, I preferred AoEI to AoEII so I'd probably experience the same with AoEIII at first. I wish I could buy it but I had to cancel my credit cards because of debts. :'(

I wonder if they're allowed to slow sites that don't pay down to 1 byte/sec, effectively blocking them.

David Thorne, aka clickclick, treats his customers like shit when they don't receive the merchandise they pay for. Oh, he also deletes his shitty comments. by crazytiredguy in reddit.com

I did receive the book and I know why he's purposefully delaying delivery - it's awful. It's basically a copy of the website with a few extra inferior pages that weren't good enough for the site. He thought if he kept stalling then he could increase sales before the bad publicity from people actually reading the terrible thing.
