If you are "getting screwed" due to sniping, you're doing it wrong. I snipe everything that isn't BIN - it avoids bidding wars and thus allows me to pay less for items I want and for which I know what I am prepared to pay.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no-one had a chance to interrupt; it was really quite hypnotic.

Give me some credit - who doesn't know that? It's still not case sensitive, and it still doesn't respect punctuation entered. If I enter "2,3" I want just that. Not "2-3", "2/3", "2 3" or even "2, 3", all of which turn up in results for that search. Completely useless! It does, notably...

Still waiting for a case and punctuation sensitive search engine. Why they must keep trying to approximate what I want I don't know - I just want occurrences of the exact text entered, how hard is it FFS?

From someone in the UK, I will correct this article (besides the fact that the original sentence has poor grammar anyway): From 1 March, the browser choice have been [Strike=single]popping up on the screens of millions of[/s] annoying the hell out of Europeans who have Internet Explorer as...

The shutdowns and general rampant failure of the LHC to do anything useful should be proof positive that those behind it are perhaps not as competent as they should be. A team of physicists couldn't correctly calculate the stress tolerance required of the components? O RLY? Besides which, you...
