The search engine always finds everything _except_ what I'm looking for.

However, no matter how bad the search engine is, I'd never be willing to give up my calculator.

I use it to save me the time of going through all the directories to search for a program

I've only used it a few times, most recently entering "82 telnet" and finding a comment on TELROUTE, which was precisely what I was looking for.

A funny thing happened: after I voted that I don't use the search, it's still 0%.

We are making references to George Orwell's antiutopian novel 1984.
The Inner Party is the upper ranks of the government, the Outer Party is the rest of the government, and the proles are the proletariat (impoverished laborers).
1984 takes place in a world where there are three communist countries: Oceania (Australia, the Americas, and the British Isles), Eurasia (Europe and USSR, possibly part of Africa), and Eastasia (the rest of Europe and Africa). Oceania is always at war with one or the other, and is the ally of the one that it is not fighting against. Because the state is never wrong, what is now always has been and always will be also.

P.S. Big Brother is the figurehead of the government of Oceania.

Possibly a comparison to Joe Stalin and the "Great" Soviet state that was supposedly always right.

I could be wrong, but I think Nick is reffering to the ideas contained in the post, not the words.

May I remind you Nick. You work here to get chicks. Just see the "What is your Gender" Survey and your Bio. You know, your little fiasco with the chicks who didn't like the domain on you e-mail address. Geez Nick, why do I have to remind you.

I've only ever found one use for it, and that's finding a program that I don't know the directory for in the file archives. However, if you don't know the exact name of the program, it's not of too much use.

Why hasn't anything registered on the last choice? I know that I at least voted for it. Something isn't right here....
