When I uninstalled it, it broke firefox - it wouldn't startup any more, complaining about some x-asl binding. On reinstalling firefox, I get a huge status bar with the text <key id="key_openHelp" ------------^

The accelerator prefetches the links on web pages, in effect clicking on all of them (except ads), which includes links that say 'delete this' or 'unsubscribe' etc. Many webpages use GET links to do these actions, and this is causing pages to disappear. Until web apps are rewritten to take note of the prefetch header, it's probably unsafe to use the accelerator. (Which seems to be offline at the moment - the page redirects you to the toolbar)
Don't forget Adobe's opinion on closed formats (eBook) and the attempts of people to make interoperable tools. The last time someone tried it, he ended up being arrested.
You stupid dickhead, what GOD might have told you is just your own belief and you are welcome to it. However, when you discriminate and preach discrimination, it hurts others. So keep your views on what God likes/dislikes restricted to acts that affect only yourself. The way you talk about God's likes and dislikes, makes him sound almost human.
*bows and touches ground* You're the GOD! You're the GOD!
Seriously, I tried it, and now my adobe reader starts up instantaneously. (Note, I have reader 7, and there is no printme.api. I retained EWH32.api, search.api and search5.api)
"What is stop Google or anyone else pounding the hell out of everyone else's search facilities/databases and recording the result ?"
BEcause you cannot brute force the pages without being noticed. No legit company would even dream of doing such a thing without getting into legal trouble.
Correction: Google does not crawl and find that information - it merely recognizes the number as a UPS/Fedex/whatever number and links you to the appropriate page on the UPS/Fedex/whatever website. Note that the remote page (the shipping company's) is generated dynamically only when you enter the tracking number, and only you and the shipper know that number. Google merely saves you the trouble of manually entering the number in a search box by directly generating the search URL for you.
Rest assured that no one can crawl those pages since those pages don't exist until you create them with your number.

I'm sure you will find a link to google maps soon along with the whitepages info. Notice that if you enter an address into the google main search page, you will get links to google maps, mapquest and yahoo, since google is following the principle of finding information for you from all good sources, even if google has a product with that information.
Actually India has a foodgrain surplus, and to put it in perspective there are issues (else we wouldn't have a starvation problem), but the point is that food production is not a problem in India - management of that production is. I guess (I hope) with time, that issue will be addressed.
"Seems money is all that matters in the world. So much for the hindus living up to the Srimad-Bhagavad Ghita. =\"
Well the Bhagavad Gita also tells you to do your duty and I believe that the Indian leadership is doing the right thing by looking at the economy instead of politics. In any case India is still the gracious host providing residence to the Tibetan exiles. Asking that the guests' problems dictate the economic principles of the host country might be a bit too much, don't you think?:-)
"Just curious, you slam because of the lack of funds for higher education, but do you contribute to the American economy and the American worker by buying American products"
The flaw in this reasoning is that there is no way to define an 'American Product'. Few products can be 100% American since we do live in a global economy where many of the components needed for any industry come from various sources. See, even your gasoline comes from the Middle east - In theory you could be using only American gasoline instead of contributing to a 'foreign' economy.
You don't need to contribute to the economy by an 'American only' policy. Businesses outsource to reduce costs and increase profits. When your local American company makes more profits and increases its stock value, it brings more money to the American economy. Whether it comes to employees or goes elsewhere is a different matter, but the money is mostly used/invested in America, so your economy is not really without funds.
Not to start a political debate, but surely you understand the irony of spending over $200 billion in a war in the Middle East and still not having a tiny fraction of that amount to spend for education?
IMHO, it is an issue of policy and planning in the United States that's affecting education, and not 'spending on foreign cars/clothes'.
True, according to this report China is slated to be the biggest economy by 2005 (less than 10 years away) with the United States and India in second and third places respectively. If China and India join hands, there are bound to be some changes in how the world economy works.
"Do I stay a poor slave, or take a chance at the HIGH life. My good side (If I have one) is saying: No, don't do it.....it's wrong.
But the gravity is much stronger on the other side. I've been poor and unfed all my life......living in a place where being in jail could mean I get fed at least daily....."
Do you even know what you area talking about? Call center workers are not 'poor slaves'... they make more money than the average Indian, and have better working conditions. Heck, please do get out of your well and learn more about the world around you.
Too bad everyone stopped keeping homepages or publishing their bookmarks.
It's called a weblog and a blogroll respectively.
and what are they doing during this? Goofing off with mapping and social communities and webmail and and and and..
I don't know where you get the idea that Google maps and Gmail are part of Google's 'goofing off'. I and many others find them incredibly useful applications that help me find the information I want. (Which is, btw, Google's objective in the first place).
Maybe I'm old, but Netscape stored its bookmarks in an HTML file you could regularly FTP up to your homepage, or something similar. Oh, and back in the day, if you had the time, you could update your homepage a lot. That was kinda like what you kids keep telling me is so "revolutionary"- this whole 'web log' thing.
Web logs are not revolutionary because they let you ftp some bookmarks. They are revolutionary since they give people an easy way to express their opinion.
So pardon while I yawn at this service which..um..does what? Let me post my bookmarks? Which I can do already?
del.icio.us (and de.lirio.us) are not about ftping your bookmark file. They let you easily bookmark an interesting site you find, straight from the browser, irrespective of which computer you are on.

Google lost the motivation to innovate, because they didn't have to
Google is highly innovative. And so are the people who try to outsmart Google. Your earlier comment about Google Maps and Gmail seem to indicate that you do not really appreciate the finer points of their innovation. Rest assured that a lack of appreciation does not mean lack of innovation.
While installing messenger, it asks you if you want to install Yahoo! mail. Even if you do not check that option, you get Yahoo! integrated into the shell so that when you right-click on a file you get the option 'Emai with Yahoo!'. Why you get that option even when you say that you don't want Yahoo! mail beats me. And oh, there is no straightforward way to remove it short of uninstalling Yahoo! messenger itself.
Isn't that some kind of malware?

It was redirecting a few minutes ago. You're right, it's not doing that any more.

From TFA: "Intel had had hundreds of e-mails claiming to have an original copy, but Mr Clark's was the first authentic claim."
So there were multiple copies - Clark's copy was the one accepted.
when there are umpteen copies in libraries all over the world? It is not as if only ONE copy survived!

Think I should point this out. Both India and China are food surplus nations.
