Producing Great Search Results: Harder than It Looks, Part 1

When creating a search results page, it's unfortunately too easy to produce an ineffective design. We know this because, in the course of our research, we've studied hundreds of search results pages. Many of the pages we've studied hurt the user's experience purely because of their design.
A slew of problems occur when users encounter an ineffective search results page: Users can't identify what is relevant to their search. Many of the links are irrelevant to them. They find it hard to tell the differences between the various results, making the choice difficult. These problems force users to click into each result, often ending with them abandoning the search altogether.
The good news is we've seen many effective search results pages. This means there's hope. It also means we can start to look for patterns that separate the effective designs from their less effective counterparts.
Good Design Doesn't Just Happen
In our research, every time we found a site where the search results were doing what they should, we also found a team that had worked really hard to make it that way.
Those teams all have something in common. They've experimented thoroughly, trying out dozens of designs"

Top RDF namespaces
Top RDF namespaces: "Top RDF namespaces
Tim Finin, 1:00pm 23 September 2007
James Simmons posted about PTSW’s namespaces page, which has a complete list of the 388 namespaces they have seen with frequencies of use. We reported on the Swoogle’s list of the 100 most common RDF namespaces last year. There are some interesting differences. I’ve put the top 20 from each list side by side.
It’s interesting to note that there are only eight namespaces that are common to both lists — these are in black. The ones that are unique to a single list are in red.

Links to Windows Issues and Tweaks
While I do think that programmers, artists, engineers, etc should be compensated for their work, I do not think that the compensation always needs to be money. I think that an operating system (OS), which is critical to any system, should not have a price tag associated with it. It should be a communal effort and have it's own rewards.
That in mind, we live in a real world and there exist certain operating systems in our world that have built a business on charging people money. Hey, it is a market economy and if people are willing to pay, let them. However, they may not know there is an alternative.
Below are some links that can help you better configure your chosen OS or fix issues with it.
