Also, it's not hard to make a keyword search that adds that automatically. On firefox, left-click the google search box/"Add a keyword for this search", save it with the keyword "g" somewhere. Then look for it in your bookmarks menu, right-click/properties and edit the query string until it fits your tastes. (The %s will get replaced with your search terms.) Mine is like 200 chars long.
After that, you can use g <something> in the address bar to search for something with a sane query.
Greasemonkey (or Opera user javascript as I believe that's mostly compatible) script to remove experts-exchange results from any google query. Saves you from having to use a different search or use -site: stuff.
Should be easily extendable to hide/dim/highlight/whatever any sites you want to see less/more of.
The context got a bit messed up due to the way HN ranks comments but _giu is referring to the experts exchange answer pages that are returned from a Google search.
If you receive a search result on Google that points to an EE question page, you can see the answers at the end of the page. EE tricks casual visitors into thinking they need an account by putting a long list of things at the top of the page and the real answers all the way at the bottom. This way Google ranks the question/answer but people think they need to buy an account.
Experts-exchange may be lame to many of the folks on this list because it is perhaps more useful to a 'light weight' crowd with a more IT bent (rather than hard core developer). I would venture to say that StackOverflow will NEVER match experts-exchange in traffic. There are just not that many smart programmers compared to the masses of IT folks and the general public that EE caters to.
StackOverflow probably will beat Experts-Exchange, as will the other services they'll starting. If you have a good free service and a good pay service, the free service will win out. Experts-Exchange will survive for a while, sure, but StackOverflow is an excellent service, and on the whole I think it's the better one.
