It doesn't affect your ability to search in any capacity, it's a picture of Google's logo in rainbow colors man.

Looking at the archive, I'm surprised you made it this far. A cursory search reveals many "political" doodles.

Anyway, I use DDG from time to time, I like it but the results aren't always the best in my experience. More power to you, I hope DDG works well for you, your comments in this thread just seem pretty disingenuous.

I guess it's not really your fault that you connect LGBT ot sex. Your society really did fail you.

Sex is often the end result of emotional and physical attraction, but it's not the most important aspect.

The LGBT Russia thing is totally blown out of proportion. http://www.scribd.com/doc/203382931/Russian-Lgbt-Law-White-P... Before you decide to down-vote me into oblivion and accuse me of hating minority groups please read the white paper linked above. Note I am not affiliated with the person who wrote it or scribd. I just want people to see both sides of the argument. EDIT - And what a surprise down-voted. Seriously…

Yes, for every single argument there are two equally valid sides.

Right.

Give me a goddamned break.

It refers to my real name combined with my wife's last name, but it's also a wink-and-nod to Oliver Cromwell and also 'Orwellian'.

Disturbing. I'll be keeping a close eye on you for signs of megalomania from now on. :-)

I'm trying to reclaim the name for positive associations. Many people don't even know how Oliver Cromwell was, I've even encountered British people who didn't know the history.

Anyway, there's actor James Cromwell. We need to band together and overcome the negative association with the good ole' Lord Protector.

(My grandfather used to tell me that he traced our ancestry and supposedly we are closely/directly descended, but I don't buy it. On the other hand, 23andme localized my ancestral DNA pretty strongly to the UK)

This is a ludicrous rationale. The moment something is merely mentioned in a law, it is henceforth to be considered under the header of "political topic"? Why? Because some political strategist (or worse, lobbyist) told you it was worth legislating for or against? Your position can be summed up as "It is okay for Google to make Google Doodles about person X until whatever person X worked on became politicized". Why w…

So, in parallel, Christianity, since it advocates the religious ceremony of marriage between a man and a woman, must also be inherently sexual in nature.

I hope it is not too arrogant of me to assume that you are straight because I cannot fathom a gay person arriving at the conclusions you have arrived at.

Working under this assumption, would you say then, that any relationship you had with a member of the opposite sex was inherently sexual in nature?

Again, give me a break.

You can love someone and want to be with them for the rest of your life and not want to have sex with them. It really isn't a stretch of the imagination.

Text editors are very opinionated. Emacs ships with tons of propaganda, including the complete text of rms' political manifesto; and Vim advocates for a charity in Uganda. edit to add: It's the GNU Manifesto, which is an appendix in emacs' Info node. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Ma... On Vim it's the startup splash screen: ~ Help poor children in Uganda! ~ type :help iccf for information…
