Check this outhttp://www.techtv.com/screensavers/answ ... 58,00.htmlI found this article online it really gives out a lot of info in how to "hack" google, it basically tells you how to go over some of the restrictions of google and how to make a better use of its tools. -Enjoy yes you can post links here. easier if you doUNFLUX wrote:np There's actually a book called "Google Hacks" from which the website may be based (or vice-versa). A friend of mine had it, and it had some cool tricks in it. They'll probably end up teaching google hacks to kids in schools soon... lol probably yeaShouldn't it be google tricks besides Google hacks? When I see 'Google Hacks' I see hacking into google, but as far as I'm seeing the more appropriate words are google tricks. People are using the word "Hack" too much in the computer world.Sambie wrote:No, people use the term "hack", because they know what it means.Hacking != Illegally gaining access to somebody else's computer.That is when the term "hack" is technically incorrect If I'm "Hacking code all night", I'm not doing anything illegal, it just means I'm working on code to make it work the exact way I want it to."Hacking Google" in this sense, would mean working on getting Google to work exactly the way you want it to And "trick" would imply deception. Now which sounds more unethical? yes yes, I agree with that statment totally, what I am trying to say (obviously failing) is that people call themselves hackers, even thought what they are doing isn't really hacking, because the see hacking as a point of power of sort.edit: to me hacking sounds more unethical because hacking has always been considerd illegal, even when being used in a sence that it is not, tricking google just sounds like you are trying to up you pr or whatever by tweaking certain settingsyes, but that's not the case here, so is therefore irrevelant to this therad I was just trying to present my veiwpoint on why people use the word hack so muchIt's just another one of those words that people don't know how to use - like "momentarily"http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=momentarilywhich means "for a moment", not "in a moment".See #2 - Usage Problem, and the lil usage note http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/199 wrote:when i see googl hack i think of people hacking into googles database to play around. *shrug* the work hack has a negative connotation to it. (IMO)
