What has open and free to do with being tracked by a single evil empire!? :)
Being tracked? I don't see how people would be more or else than by using the standard google.com search page. Oh wait, yes now I see the difference...this way OpenBSD would receive money :)
Also most OpenBSD (and *BSD for that matter I guess) users either: - don't have a default page at all
What a great reason to set one then :)
- use google toolbar in the browser, thus using client=toolbar orso
Well I don't have an answer to that one...you can't win them all
- don't browse on their servers running OpenBSD
Eumh...I think your missing my point. I don't think people should be doing this from there server. But I'm pretty sure most people have some kind of desktop computer at work or home, oyu know that computer that the whole family uses? The idea is that alot of people use those google-ads. Why not let OpenBSD have a portion of those revenus instead of giving it all to google? That would allow students with no income (like me) or other people that don't have that much money to contribute a bit.
and other forms avoiding the client id to be sent at all....
Next to that of course, why should one be giving money to somebody else when there was a way to get that in your own pocket?
Because there is no money in my pocket?
If you want Google to give cash, better simply propose a good project that has value for the community (and for them too) and then do that project. That will catch their attention and will earn you cash...
True...but let's be realistic. Google has a boat load of very good/bright people...what are the odds.
