Sorry, I have to vent off a bit.
I'm trying to build a language school and am developing a web site for it. so for the past two days I've been writing a function that translates a small sentence from one language to another with the help of google, used to verify the existence of the translated phrase.. works like a charm, I can now fill the site with tests that will help users exercise their knowledge. of course the thing queries google quite a bit from a single machine perspective but I thought that from google's point of view, this had to be like a drop in the ocean in terms of network traffic. Not!! they banned my IP afer a few minutes of execution
So google won the search engine battle, has most of the internet content indexed on their hard drives, makes billions of dollars with other people content, but won't let us do automated research. I HATE THOSE PRICKS. I found a workaround using proxies but would appreciate if you guys have any suggestions.
cheers
