Idiots messing up google searches

Been doing research into image manipilation over the last few days , and mostly I want to try out a basic tool that does resizing(constraining purportions) and cropping) now every time I type in keywords like shareware, freeware I end up at stupid portal sites that has a list of free to download(asif every second website charges for the bandwidth for downloads) but $9-per month licence download links :mad: yet they still use the words free and shareware in their keywords and content words!!! Google should ban these sites completely off this planet!!!

Too many unqualified people trying to muscle in on the IT industry, just look at CP membership count ;)

You can specify search terms to ignore by preceding them with a minus sign. So if you can identify terms that appear on the stupid sites, but not the good ones, you can eliminate these sites from your search results.

Paint Shop Pro does this. Version 2.01 (from 1994) is shareware, and is easier to use than the latest versions that are crammed with features. It does image resizing in a variety of ways, including simple scaling and resampling.

I think since joining CP I've asked about half a dozen questions, my questions have been answered by: 1. Looking through documentation. 2. Using forums... newsgroups. 3. Looking through samples. 4. Disassembly. 5. Trial and error That's why I'm negative, people want the answers handed to them on plate, if you are prepare to look, the chances are remember the answer for future and you'll learn something new at the same time.

Oh, I see -- you're an expert! I guess we should all believe you when you say a technique that has been standard for decades is impossible.

Thats true, I only ask after I have exhausted other means, how else do you learn if you don't do it.
