the Chinese learn engrish about as well as our Indian friends...
WTF?
How many US-ians have bothered to learn a foreign language? What percentage even have passports?
Very many Chinese and Indians speak excellent English, and tens of millions of each speak better English than almost any Americans do Mandarin or Hindi.
How good is your Punjabi? How about your Cantonese? And how about your friends and neighbours?
Cheney was wrong, this won't be the New American Century. The Chinese and Indians are waking up, and there are more of them, they have more resources, better educations and still have actual industries. They understand us better than we do them, and they don't trust us either...
I'm going to shut up now as I'm starting to veer OT, but my point is, you'd do very well not to underestimate 37% of the world's people so casually (that's not including the Chinese and Indians living abroad)! For every American there are 4.5 Chinese and 3.6 Indians, and they are not dumb.
whats annoying about the google toolbar, is that once its installed, it'll modify the "run" bar if you add one to your task bar. it'll prevent launching local applications, and isntead try to search on google for what ever you type in. i find the bar quite handy for typing in simple things like "notepad" or "calc" all the time. i have no idea if google ever fixed this problem, but its an annoyance enough that i wont be running anything that has the google toolbar at all. its even more annoying that so many applications come bundled with that thing now.

Research in this area is completed. Install any Linux distro (or *BSD - you may want to check availability through Netcraft first) and use Mozilla based web browser - Firefox comes to mind as a popular option.

I could be spiteful, but I won't. Nice job being a clod because you don't find my humor funny.

I am serious. Mod as you are pleased.
If it makes you feel any better, I thought it was pretty stupid in the first place.
