Google is useless nowadays.

OK, the "-cvs" does help.  I didn't realize you could filter out things so
easily.

So from now on, I will just "-junk -garbage" to filter out things that are
not relevant.

I've heard that if enough people do a search a certain way, Google will
start doing it by default.  For example, on the latest diggnation episode,
they talk about how if you search on one of their names, it brings up a
picture - since Google noticed people always followed a text search by
clicking on the image links.  Maybe they will start to filter out freebsd
searches if most of them have the -cvs option.

thanks!
