After some quick searches it seems it returns more or less random pages containing the search words, not the most popular.
For example a search for the name of the village I live in in Norway returned completly irrelevant results on the first pages. All the pages that's ranked first on Google are ranked in 30-40th place here.
How exactly does it rank the results? Not by popularity it seems...
I'm not so very into browser development, but it would seem to me that Google already have the bulk part of a browser already finished.
After all, the Google spider robot is top of its class when it comes to parsing HTML. Just think of all the poorly written pages out there with nested/broken tags etc. which Google indexes every day.
After all, Google is already THE most used "browser" on the net if you think about it. It just doesn't have a GUI:-)
It's both fascinating and scary to watch how precisely and accurate robots can move nowadays. But what will happen in a few years when the military develops an army of robots? Imagine a dead accurate killer robot that follows all orders blindly and never misses a single bullet.
So now they just lack tabbed browsing, type ahead/fast search, better text zooming on fixed-size text, real PNG support and the rest of the "to-do list".
It's a fact that many people should not be allowed to have kids, the way they raise them. I can take one example that happened last week:
I work in a small kiosk, and a lady brought along her 2 annoying little kids that ran around the kiosk yelling and doing whatever they wanted. The lady obviously thought the kids made too much noise, but she didn't yell at her kids. In stead she tried to make *me* yell at them for her. "Calm down kids, or else the man will be angry at you!" she said. Then when I didn't get angry, she got frustrated and said to me "But!? You're not going to yell at them?!", obviously annoyed that I didn't do what she wanted me to do.
That *really* pissed me off! Bad parents can't yell at their own kids, but must rely on other people, so they don't appear as the mean one.
The TWO first and last letters are better.

If you just keep the first and last letters intact, the text will still look like rubbish, but if you keep the first and last TWO letters, you won't even notice.
Why can't just the paranoid people block cookies? I can't exactly see the big problem with cookies (other than that it's a unreliable solution for remembering user-data).
As already mentioned, if PHP is using sessions, it will first try to set a cookie with the session-ID. If that fails, it will pass the session-ID along with the url or automagicaly add a hidden-field to forms. Good luck rewriting ALL php-sites that uses sessions.
As I see this, cookies do more good then harm, and it's no problem disabling them, so what's all the fuzz about?
I notice this more and more often when I'm discussing things with people. "If I only had google now we would know who is right". No point of arguing about anything (that can be proven) as long as you don't have access to the Internet.
I have attended a couple of LAN parties. The 4 last years I have been attending The Gathering, with almost 5000 people, but the last LAN party I attended was a local LAN with about 100 participants where I was a crew member.
The first problem occured on the opening day. 70% of the people on the LAN was unable to get a IP address. The problem turned out to be that we were assigned too few IP addresses.
The sysadmins on the school network we were using were however kind enough to give us an extra subnet, since the school was closed:).
Make sure you have enough IP addresses!
Once the network was up and running, everything worked almost smoothly, except for the occational few who had problems with their network card, graphic card, hard disk etc.
Since we didn't have a tech crew to handle these people, most of our spare time was used to help people fix their personal computer problems.
Make sure you have a tech crew to handle such problems!
We had a small kiosk inside the building where we sold food, beverages and soap. After a few days of sitting in front of the computer without sleep, you need to shower. The last couple of days the LAN party smelled like sh*it. It was horrible to enter the building when you had been outside for a while.
Make sure everyone is clean and shower at least twice!
In advance, we were planning on updating our webpage with stuff that was going to happen (competitions, results, general information etc.). It failed. The webpage was too difficult to update, so noone bothered to do it, since there was more important things to do (like downloading stuff and helping people).
Make sure your webpage can be updated in a second (PHP/MySQL solution preferrably).
These were the 4 biggest problems we had. Except for this, things turned out pretty well I think:), and we even made a small amount of money of it because of our 24 hour kiosk!
Slightly off-topic, so mod me down if you wish. It's weird that after a billion years of human evolution, we still solve conflicts by killing each others. The only thing that has evolved is the method used.
I think it's sad that young people are encouraged to kill other people, and the army even sends out computer games to recruit people! Why not spend more money on *preventing* war, in stead of *fighting* war?
There should be an political army as well as a millitary army, but then again, it won't be so "fun" to not be able to kill other human beings.

3. ???
4. Profit!
