When in the recent years, thanks to the Hubble space telescope, we have found out that there are not only billions of trillions of gazillions of stars out there, but there are billions of gazillions of petametazillions of galaxies out there, and we don’t have even the exact count of stars on our own Milky way. Pathetic.

Earthlings know of a few stars, and most of them are larger than our own Sun, the Sun worshiped by ancient civilizations as the first god, is now a bit of an embarrassment after seeing all the huge ones there. Its a fucking yellow dwarf star. Its not even a star, its a dwarf, and its nucleosynthesis cannot produce anything above nitrogen, and all the gold and silver that we have on our planet were either brought by asteroids, or they are just byproducts of a supernova that exploded previously, from which the Sun and the planets around it formed.

Wikipedia stuff. The point I’m trying to make is, if an alien ever manages to invade us, wouldn’t he roll on the floor and laugh his ass off if he finds out that we measure distances with Astronomical units, which is the distance between the earth and the sun, and masses of stars with solar masses?

“So you measure our star with your birthday candle?”

Heres the point I’m trying to make. When you scale yourself down to the human on earth the size of an electron, you will find that the distance between each ring around the nucleus is as much farther as from the Sun to Pluto.

There are stars so far away in the universe that would make our solar system look like an atom with the sun for the nucleus and the planets for electrons. I wonder if lifeforms there it would ever be able to discover something so small as the real atom, and the sub atomic particles that we know of today.

Google sometimes is boring. It always returns the same results over and over again for different combinations of the search terms. I wanted to find out if there are any new websites that are showing up in the blog sphere that would pay you to blog. An idea struck me last night and I thought I would go ahead and look for other search engines that are there in the world. Surely they will not be using the algorithm of Google, so the way they display the results would be greater, and you can find what you are looking for with a bit of ease. Or atleast you could hope for it. So when I set foot to start looking for a new search engine which would give me better, or atleast different results for blog pay I landed upon RankNoodle.com. It is a search engine that would not only give you the search results like google does, but also gives you an article on what you are looking for. So for example lets say you are searching for the term search engine for beginners you get a simple article on what is meant by search engine and why it exists and why people cant do without a search engine.

I have a feeling that this site will redefine the concept of search engines. This even acts like a miniature wikipedia as it gives a small synopsys of what you are searching for. there has already been a debate that wikipedia might in the near future overtake google in the search for information as wikipedia has got almost everything now, and it comes without ads and it doesnt use any stupid algorithms. Lets say you are searching fro a good hosting company. When you search google it will just give you a list of sites in the order in which the sites are optimized. But if the company is good at optimization of websites for the search engines and are not really keen on hosting, then the site might be on the top but the service might be poor, while the people who provide good services might be bottom just because they have not optimized their websites or they have not put up any sponsored advertisments on google’s search page.

A search with an article is at its starting stage, and once developed, people will only go for that. When you search for hosting companies on a search engine like ranknoodle.com, you will possibly get a user edited or a user reviewed list of sites rather than a list that is ordered bust by a company’s stupid algorithm. This technology is going to rule the internet in the very near future.

The trend of hosting multiple sites on one server has gone, and right now it is in fashion to host one site on several servers. Well, sites that have traffic or a lot of content ofcourse. Take for example an image gallery that has got a lot of images, which is updated automatically from several websites onthe web. Did you knwo that hosting images or content on your site giving proper credits to the copyright owners of the images or by linking to them is never illegal?

So, if you get an idea to start a site like that, you can never do with just 1 server. You will become someone like flikr, attract images from everywhere, and put them on automated image galleries, and this way traffic will automatically come over to your website, and with that traffic you could make a lot of money selling ads and stuff.

This is why today you might see people ordering 10s and 100s of servers all at one go with the datacenters at good discounted rates, and network them internally to make them into a grid, or make them into one single server with loads of processor resources memory and disk drive space. Some people say that if you make a grid out of 2 P4 processor computers, you will get the power of 2^n = 2^2 = 4 computers. That way if you make a grid out of 128 computers, then the power that you would be able to derive would be of 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 computers. Maybe thats how Wikipedia is so powerful and fast though it is the 2nd website after google that receives the most number of visitors. But is this calculation correct? Thats a very large number, and if someone wants computing power why dont they just rely on this and why do people go for mainframes and stuff?

Uncyclopedia is a website that is a parody of wikipedia, and it makes everything sound funny. And the page that it had on ebay made me laugh my intestines out. Well, ebay is a website where you could find allsorts of rubbish, to stuff that is of very high value that could make excellent personalized gifts such as rare coins, stamps, currency notes and stuff.

Ebay is a place where regular sellers sell things such as home appliances, electronics, apparels, gadgets and stuff. And occassional sellers who want to sell of their used things would choose ebay too.
