I've noticed that if you type in "http://..." into the Google toolbar you get taken directly to that page (you can also get this by typing "www..." and clicking the clover), which, now that I think about it, does render the address bar almost useless (though it is nice to see what site you're on). The "up one level on this website" is extremely useful, and I like the added options in the right-click menu: cached snapshot of this page, similar pages, and backward links.
Also, with IE 4+, I think it's possible to use the address bar as a search engine, but you have to wade through menus to get to choose Google, and then you get a Microsoft-ized version of Google in that "Explorer Bar". I personally don't like it.
Teoma will have to go a long way before challenging Google. Right now Google can be used to find maps, addresses, phone numbers,
As the article says, Altavista tried to topple Google, but failed. I don't see any reason why Teoma should succeed where AV failed. They release their new search engine at 8:00 PM EST tomorrow, so don't judge them yet.
Google's cache feature is especially nice with the toolbar installed--if you get a 404 error, just hit back, right-click the link, and choose cached snapshot of page, and voila!

Just like what amazon.com did a year or two ago--they said if they went under, they would sell all user info. Luckily, I have two different email addresses and I use one for when I don't know whether or not my address will be sold, and one for personal communication.
I thought the NSA just listened in on everyone else's communications. They don't go out into the field to spy--the CIA does that. It would have been more likely that the CIA's directorate of Science & Technology invented this.

That method would also cut down on some of the sites that don't fit in with the particular search--like the "dumb motherf*cker" I saw in one of these linked news items. One easier way to help prevent Google bombing would be to require that the word(s) and/or phrase(s) in the search are also found in the web page itself.
You can hide this without buying a subscription. Go to your preferences. Click on "Homepage". Scroll down to "Exclude Stories from the Homepage". Look under "Topics", and check the third checkbox, "Star Wars Prequels". Now you no longer have to view this type advertising, at least about Star Wars.
Then when a government falls in one country, the warheads are "safely" kept in the hands of numerous warring factions? No, not every country should have nukes. Third-world countries should definitely not have nukes.
Much better than when Eisenhower's "Massive Retaliation" policy was in place--under that the U.S. would respond to any attack with nukes. Now the U.S.'s policy is to reply in kind, but to avoid unnecessary civilian casualties (e.g., we didn't send a fleet of 747s to Afghanistan in late September). The U.S., however, doesn't have chemical or biological weapons, thus they consider those weapons to be nukes, and they respond in kind.
I think that finding out what people are searching for is ok, but also registering their IP address goes a little too far. But then again, this is only for people who do use the search bar, and they probably don't care as much. I, for one, don't use Netscape in favor of MSIE, but my homepage is/. and I search from the Google! menubar on/.'s homepage, so no matter what browser I use they wouldn't be able to get it.
Even if CS students switch from Microsoft, they'll learn that there's more money to be made by selling stuff for Windows rather than OSX or Linux, and the majority of people without CS degrees will stick with windows.
A good counter-example is Apple, who for years owned the educational market both in high schools and universities in the US. It didn't lead (as Apple had hoped it would) to widespread use of Macs in the commercial world.
I think that's because Windows was marketed at student's parents, and students liked Windows better, so they used it. Then Microsoft got into the educational market and school board members (who Microsoft had marketed to) forced educators to give up their loyalties and start teaching Windows.
The gamecube has a couple of expansion slots underneath it (I believe three), one of which is definitely for a modem (either broadband or dialup, look at nintendo.com to see the examples.
I had noticed that with Hotmail, but I also realized that you can only have ~500 email addresses blocked, and only ~100 filters (i might be off on those numbers, but I know there are maximums), so I had to switch my address.
Minimum wage laws are not for people who are unsatisfied with $3.00 an hour. They are there so that everyone gets at least $5.15 an hour. This isn't a law where charges can be dropped, because I believe it is the government that would handle the charge.

American courts have no jusridiction anymore over treaty on internet.
Can't American courts can declare a treaty unconstitutional?
So now I can download Morpheus movies on my Nokia?
I have mod points right now, but I can't seem to mod the article down.
Additionally, you can hi-light any text, right-click, and be offered a search on that text in Google.
I just realized that you can also do this with IE when the toolbar's installed.

Try to get Morpheus to post it now, and the same with Napster (they were (almost?) killed by laws like this).

Anyone know when Hollings/Disney will introduce a bill to declare war on Holland?
Wonder when we'll see napster.nl appear?
I just use my Google plug-in and brought up Google's cache of the page. Unfortunately, Google didn't cache this particular page.

Do you think Hussien would actually give a crap if tens of thousands of Iraqis die simply because we bomb a place we think he's hiding.
I actually think he would care--he needs cheap labor.
