Well, it would be redundant to send a user back to the page he or she just came from, i.e. back to the Google home page.

DDG is similarly self-effacing: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=search

Coincidence that I should see this; I'm not really active on HN anymore, and just happened to click.

I'm curious. The first time it was posted, you indicated that you were trying the thirds homework idea.

How did that work out?

VaporEdu?

Nope. We are very much a real school with real people doing really cool things. I compiled a list of articles and videos about the school a few months ago which you might find interesting:

They are a bit out of date, but the videos are still a lot of fun for me to watch. Enjoy :)

Not sure why you say Vapor they've been conducting classes for a while, and are currently accepting new students.

No, not vapor at all:

Sounds like someone always wanted a big brother.

A relentless addiction to indignation

Those are exactly the words I've been looking for to describe my boss.

For those of us using NoScript, it's 00 days, 00 hours, 00 minutes, and 00 seconds. We get it first. Win!

So Mike Tyson, the boxer, with his crazy facial tattoo, was just way ahead of facial recognition technology.

I'm going to be that guy:

"as a compliment to this paper" --> complement

"no higher complement." --> compliment

Thanks for a cool post.

Such comments are more appropriately posted at the blog itself.

A blog is as good as a research paper, to a blind bat.

I started using Bing recently and I noticed that I was getting error pages intermittently, and then pretty frequently.

phpbb and topic view are returning error pages for me (on latest ff, cookies enabled).

Another way I'm reliably getting an error page is adding parameter &first=201, e.g. http://www.bing.com/search?q=stuff&first=201

This is the paging parameter, indicating you're at the 20th screen of results.
