It all depends on my personality. Sometimes I think Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is my favorite RPG game. Other times, however, I'll play Final Fantasy VII instead and agree that it's my favorite. Both have exceptionally good replay values for a RPG.

The "information" that supports that is a few posts before mine that inform that the article this thread is based off of was a hoax, and as such there is no "war" in Microsoft by Google. Feel free to go back into the thread and check.

Ah, I see. It was on the previous page. I usually don't read through all the post in a large topic like this, but your post encouraged me.

 

So, basically, this topic is based on nothing? Meh. Lets hope a moderator will close this.

Froogle is another add-on to the massive industry Google, which now has billions of dollars. Gaining reputation is one thing they're striving for--and they must create many new features. Along the way comes Froogle, a product-searching engine that allows you to find the best products at your personal price range and style. However, I care less for it. These are some reasons why:1. Shows eBay auctions:Sure, eBay is a nice place. However, when I'm shopping for new products, I don't want to see a bunch of eBay auctions. I'd rather see them from real companies, like Target or Kmart.2. Shows several irreverent products:If you ever search for something and put "lowest price first", a bunch of products not even related to the product your searching for will show up. You have to scramble through about 10 pages to reach products; even so, they're most likely eBay auctions that already ended.3. Inaccurate prices:When you look through the list and find the product you want, the price on the right may vary from the price on the actual website. I don't mind if it's a few dollars, but they can vary from $50-$75. Sometimes I believe they're lower the price on their list so you can click on them. And, thus, they receive money each click. So, easy money, right?4. Not Organized:Either it's me or Froogle is constantly changing, so you have to search around for the options. Seriously. Sometimes the "sort by lowest price" option will be at the top-right, while other times, it'll be somewhere else. When searching for a product with many categories, the category box will appear. This makes the sorting price option fly somewhere else. I sure wish it were stationary.5. Inaccurate titles:I guess this is part of #2, but it is still important. When searching for popular "multi-series" products--mostly games and movies--you'll find several of the other games in the series. For example, if you're searching for Final Fantasy VII, you might find pages full of Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy VI products. This can be quite annoying, even if you use the remove feature. (By adding a "-" before the words you don't want to search for.)So, to conclude my opinion, I don't think Froogle was a good add-on. Well, if you're patient enough, it can help you out a lot. However, if you're the impatient type like myself, you'll find this a bit annoying.

I'd just like to point out that, as is mentioned in previous posts in this thread, the article the thread is based off of is a hoax. There IS NO WAR ON MICROSOFT! Therefore, there's no reason for people to post saying that they are rooting for Google in the upcoming war.

What information do you have to support that?

 

But if Google is at war with Microsoft, they had it coming. Finally somebody actually has the advance technology and money to compete with the evil Microsoft. Then again, Microsoft has been going down lately, knowing that several Internet Explore users are switching to Firefox. Two versus one big company--they'll eventually go down.

Hmm. After reviewing the code and your idea, I could just suggest making each "bar" its own. If the bar just gets wider, then it's impossible to create multiple borders dividing it. Why not just create a bunch of separate ones to cover it up? It is more work, but I believe it's the only way.
