I think GP is confused by the browser sending what you type in the omnibar to Google for search and url suggestions. If you're not comfortable with this (I find it quite useful) you can turn it off in Options. And of course it is always off in incognito mode.
Plenty of themes available in the Chrome Extension Gallery. Although they are less customizable than full-blown Firefox ones (but more customizable than Personas).
Print Preview is targeted for Chrome 6.
An upcoming context menu API should give extensions somewhere else to live soon hopefully. A "toolstrip" was experimented with for the bottom of the browser window for extensions but the devs liked the current toolbar buttons more and deprecated toolstrips quickly.
I thought I had this, but then I double checked and realized I had my system restore max space set to 700mb. My single restore point was taking up 555mb of this. I upped the space. Maybe some people are being too over zealous with cranking down the space? (I forgot how much it took up when I set it I guess.)
[Edit: Looks like the accepted solution on that thread simply increases the space allocated to System Restore! I could be right, maybe?]
This reminds me of the story where my grandpa chipped a tooth eating some peanut brittle or something. My grandma sent the company that made it a nasty letter and they returned an apology and another box of peanut brittle. My grandpa chipped another tooth on the first bite.
At my work we run XPSP3 and McAfee, had no problems here.
@WithinRafael on Twitter (from www.withinwindows.com) was trying to reproduce it and had problems, I think he recently succeeded but hasn't provided details yet.
Uh I'm sure we knew about the Bering Sea crossing even before this specific DNA testing. So this is like pretending that it's the first you've heard someone say something negative about you and demanding an apology, when 70 or so other unrelated people have as well and so you should be used to it by now?
Reminds me of the time my HS computer teacher accused me of "hacking" into the network.
What did I do? Pretty much opened Internet Explorer.
Someone had set it's homepage to a local network drive instead of the usual homepage. I noticed this and opened up the folder to see what it was (it was a dev server for the school website or something). I was going to poke around but then it dawned on me that school website code was going to be horribly boring to read so I closed the window and forgot about it.
So then the teacher comes up to me and accuses me of guessing the computer name, poking around in its shares in Windows Explorer and somehow hacking past password protection. Keep in mind there was, in fact, no password protection (or my account was mistakenly given access).
I guess I need an ending to this story hmm. Later that year she left the school right before the end-of-school awards ceremony (she was the only teacher ever to not be present and not give any awards out while I attended. Every teacher AT LEAST gave certificates out for As and most also gave plaques out for special accomplishments). She had even promised T-shirts to anyone who could type over 50-wam in a contest thing she ran. I scored 53 and I'm still waiting for my T-shirt.
It's even easier since you can set up a "catch all" inbox to catch any e-mails to the entire domain. At least cpanel lets you do this. I keep it off because it tends to catch mostly spam to randomly generated usernames@mydomain.
They did currency conversion so I would assume prices would compare to US prices for goods, otherwise the currency conversion would be pointless and a useless figure, right?
Wow... I don't know where to start here. I know, I'll make a list!
You complain about the price of your mouse despite the fact the article was trying to make the OPPOSITE point... prices are LOW and it is because of this cheap labor MS and other companies use! Using proper working conditions and treating workers like human beings would raise the cost of products.
You claim MS makes the best keyboard and mice, and in the same breath admit you have no way to know that because you don't use other brands, at least it seems not recently.
The article doesn't really mention this but AFAIK this is a pretty common situation in Asian factories. The currency conversion to US money though is meant to show how the wages line up... imagine yourself living on their wages.
"Really that bad" is a relative term. Compared to western nations, the working conditions are horrible, inexcusable, and illegal. Over there it may very well be common and even inescapable. The poorer you are the worse jobs you HAVE to keep, since you have no savings or other people with good jobs or savings to fall back on.
Um, Microsoft contracts out manufacturing to them. The second link in the summary has pictures of the boxes and mice. Even if you don't RTFA can you at least LATFPictures?
Same thing you can buy with 66 in the US I can imagine, since that is the whole reason they do the currency conversion, so you get a sense for how much they get paid. That's barely enough for a cheap candy bar, for the non-Americans out there (the good bars cost 85c to US$1.00 or more)

FYI for cygwin users: dig is part of cygwin so get it from the "bind" cygwin package.
Actually it would be 16.04, so April 2016.
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. That is all.
This isn't deserving of a Troll, I think. Windows ME edged out AN EXPLODING OIL PIPELINE.

Why would you willingly use McAfee in any way after this? Why not just go with AVG or Avast or MSE?

You DO know Google keeps a scrolling ticker of the latest Google queries in their offices, right?

We already have plastic money. We call them credit cards.
Well technically it was your fault for not switching away from Network Solutions sooner! :)
