I disabled the "suggestion service", and that's about the only setting in this thing that I can see would have any effect.
BTW, today it finally started listing the firehose as a third option in the dropdown (perhaps it needs a certain number of visits to be a candidate for completion?), and now that other poster mentioned that it takes time for some options to show up, my user page will show up if I wait 2-3 seconds. About 2-3 seconds more and some random slashdot pages show up along with an option to "see all pages in history containing sl". (If I type just s, slashdot does come up first, followed by any recent google searches starting with s).
I suspect the issue is that firefox didn't show the awesomebar until it was good and ready, so if the browser was stalling out on rendering some page you could type and nothing at all would happen for 2-3 seconds (that was a frustration of its own for me, since half the time once firefox was done rendering it still wouldn't show the awesomebar). Chrome seems to throw up a dropdown as soon as possible, then get around to filling it with options whenever it feels like it.
DA's these days refuse to accept that. For instance, down here in Texas we had a guy convicted of raping a woman. The woman claimed two guys raped her. Two sets of male DNA were recovered. The technician lied^Wmistakenly testified on the stand that the guy matched one set. One MASSIVE scandal later, his DNA was retested and didn't match either set of DNA.
That should be it, right? Well, the DA spent quite a lot of time fighting the release, insisting that his that this guy was one of the rapists and wore a condom and the woman couldn't count to three. Of course, I'm sure the fact that we end up paying people who get imprisoned because the government fucks up had no bearing at all on the government's desire to convince everyone they didn't fuck up.
Oh wait, as long as the privacy goalposts can be moved at a whim, there is not a single example of anyone who had their privacy infringed because of the tags.
However, your precious private network remains an insular IPv4 network behind a hardware IPv4 router, and an IPv6 gateway.
And a recursive DNS server patched to magically convert results from the internet from IPv6 to a special IPv4 address that the gateway can use to figure out where the IPv4 client really wanted to go?
The awesome bar is one of two things I miss after switching to Chrome. Chrome tries to pack too much into the URL dropdown (search history, suggestions, etc) without doing any of it well. For instance on Firefox, I can type Q[tab] and have my comments page up. sl[tab] is slashdot. c[tab] is my bank site. f[tab] is the firehose journal search I use. Just about any site I go to is four keystrokes max counting hitting enter to load the site. On chrome, I have to type sl[right arrow]/[down arrow][right arrow] to get to my comments page. Note that moving the hand between the arrow keys and the main keyboard adds extra effort. If I don't add the/, Chrome lists only list two options: slashdot.org and search google for slashdot.org.
The other thing is Nuke Anything, which I can't find anything like it for Chrome. Useful for removing that floating div blocking the bottom right corner of every slashdot comments page.
The issue is that the ISPs feel that Google, iTunes, Amazon, etc. are getting to use "their" bandwidth for free. You won't be getting the bill for that 100GB of data, the websites you happened to visit will.
If we're going to allow that, I think I'll have to form an ISP and bill websites $100000 per KB my customers browse.
Don't worry, I'd still bill my customers for their internet access too.
The students are the one who made up the =11 part. Try punching it the question "4+3+2= +2" into a calculator and you'll see why. To the students raised on calculators, "equals" doesn't mean equality anymore, it means "what do the numbers up to here add up to?" So they get to " = ( ) " and perform the "what do the numbers up to here add up to" operation, and write the answer in the blank provided. Then they're left with the +2 bit, so they add it again.
Left to right order of operations, for all operations.
I'm sure they understand equality just fine, it's just that after punching everything into a calculator for all their lives, they don't understand that = means equality instead of "what do the things I just entered equal?"
USPTO has a search engine, which if you know enough about how they categorize everything, you can find a lot of stuff in there. They even do neat things like categorize the shapes of logos (eg 26.19.01 - Spheres (geometric)).
Mostly, though, the engine is a flaming pile of shit, driven largely by sessions that make it next to impossible to figure out how to link to results. Even if you find your specific trademark, the search results page link to the trademark document uses your session ID. In fact, you can't even link to the search page itself (anyone following it gets an invalid session error), you'll have to go through the index page so it can create a session for you.
The original Corporations (eg East India Trading Company) were expressly given the permission to fight wars against other nations to establish their trading outposts and protect their "turf".
Even in reasonably modern times, corporations had hired militias to gun down strikers' wives and children with impunity.
That's pretty much how things were going in Canada, then Bell Canada decided to throttle all of the ISPs where they crossed over Bell's wires.
Even with open access, you still need net neutrality rules for it to really mean anything, otherwise your ISPs can offer whatever they want but the carrier still decides what you get.
As a practical example? Try the Paul Wellstone Memorial Bank Bailout Bill, which you might better recognize as the original TARP bill, as amended by the Senate when they gutted the "Paul Wellstone Mental Health and Addiction Equity Act" as passed by the House.
The problem with your plan is that inevitably the sunset renewal bill will be "Bill to Renew Ban on Child Porn [and riders renewing the other 50000 laws we can't get support for]". If you attempt to force them to renew every bill individually, we'll end up with only one law on the books, and cocaine will become child porn.
Don't like your street, get a second street to your house?
Never mind that wiring a significant portion of a city will run costs into the hundreds of millions of dollars, once you've wired it, where are you going to hook it up to? AT&T's backbone? Sprint/MCI? Qwest? You might have luck hooking up to Google's legendary dark fiber (if you're in the right place), but it's dark at both ends, you're simply moving the problem to the other end of the fiber. But hey, at least your customers could use google, even if they can't read the sites they searched for. If enough hundred-million-dollar startups all lit up Google's fiber, that'd be a start (eventually someone will want higher-tier access to those customers, even if it's just an akamai content server at first).
It remains to be seen whether wireless will ever be a viable competitor latency-wise to wired installations. Besides that, given that the majority of them are run by the same companies (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc) or resell bandwidth subject to whatever whims those companies place on them (see Bell Canada throttling its resellers' customers), it's unlikely that they will not succumb to the same issues.
How long did it take for people to figure out Comcast was using Sandvine? How long after that did Comcast continue to lie about it?
The real problem is that Google might have the power to win a game of chicken against the ISPs, but almost certainly Google's shareholders would flinch first.
I had Fate, too, and I think Torchlight was a pretty worthy upgrade to Fate.
I never did figure out whether Fate really had a story or not, spent too much time trying to line up the quests so I could get the maximum quests per dungeon floor in order to load up on money and use the money to enchant gear and eventually got bored around floor 30 or so without meeting anything approaching a plot (other than the original quest to kill a dragon for some reason). At least Torchlight fixed the enchantment system so that you can't spend millions of gold pieces and get a Ring of Every Damn Enchantment Ever+500 (you can still game it a bit if you know where the enchantment shrines are and how many maps you have to load to reset them but the shrines still have limits before it wipes your gear)
The modding community also did a pretty good job with extending Torchlight, I think more than the original developers intended: new spells, pets, and even classes have been created, but it requires a lot of fudging to get these to work. I'm hoping that Torchlight 2 makes it easier to get these mods set up, but I have to wonder how that'll interact with the multiplayer capability.

Not my Chrome -- how do you have it configured?

IMHO DNA evidence is decisive for the defense

Gee whiz, wonder what that usable data might be usable for? Perhaps telling the different kinds of RFID apart? Maybe?
there is not a single example of anyone who had their privacy infringed because of the tags.
Other than the cases of people's tags' movements being used against them in divorce proceedings and stuff? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20216302
Oh wait, as long as the privacy goalposts can be moved at a whim, there is not a single example of anyone who had their privacy infringed because of the tags.
Or they could design the train so that people could drive their cars onto it and park.
It'd kill the airlines in a week.

Why not just pay based on how much you use?
The issue is that the ISPs feel that Google, iTunes, Amazon, etc. are getting to use "their" bandwidth for free. You won't be getting the bill for that 100GB of data, the websites you happened to visit will.

understanding of equality.
I'm sure they understand equality just fine, it's just that after punching everything into a calculator for all their lives, they don't understand that = means equality instead of "what do the things I just entered equal?"
I was homeschooled, and by homeschooled I mean locked in a cage in the basement for 20 hours a day and fed scraps once a night.
Oh no, wait, that's what the lot of you seem to mean.
I spent my afternoons playing with the neighbors' kids and weekends playing on the local T-Ball team.
The PETR activists are gonna have a field day with this one...
I don't think robots are all that tasty.

How many corporations do that?

Not answering the phone is different than the telco deciding that they're not being paid enough for the call and dropping it mid sentence.
