Let's Use Bing

[Dragonbite]

I think all Linux users should use Bing (http://www.bing.com/)to search for Linux-related things. So when Microsoft goes to see what the top searches are, let them see "Linux" or "Ubuntu" or "Red Hat" or "MySQL" or anything else FOSS related!

I dunno, kinda cool idea but they don't deserve our traffic.

Try searching for "WHY DOES WINDOWS SUCK SO MUCH?!" or something, lol.

Stupid idea in my Opinion because all they get from it is Marketshare ....

This script can help, but it will waste your connection if you keep it running:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -n "$*" ]; then
WORDS="$*"
else
WORDS="linux apache php mysql mozilla firefox openoffice gimp ubuntu fedora mandriva redhat foss opensource gnu ogg jabber xmpp"
fi

while true; do
for WORD in $WORDS; do
echo "Searching BING for $WORD"
wget http://www.bing.com/search?q=$WORD --header='Accept-Language: en' \
-o /dev/null -O - | grep "[0-9,]\+ results" -o
sleep 1
done
echo
done

And they'll be crying all the way to the bank ...

They make money off of your searches.
