This is the first time I've seen someone actually mention the core of the problem. Searching in URL, TITLE and TITLE headers are just plain stupid. I could live with it, if it was possibly to turn it off! Now the only option, mentioned below in this thread, is to disable it all together.:(
If someone could just tell it to stop searching in TTILE and I would be satisfied!
But, the problem is that if it just ignored bookmarks and searching TITLE (something I really hate!) it was a nice feature to search in the history. Typing 'en' to go to wikipedia is handy.
The main reason why Mono is a bad idea is summarized by "Don't imitate, innovate!".
The reason Mono is a bad idea is that it takes a technology designed as propriety and designed by people who have a terrible record of performance and security, and then making that platform stronger.
It's a bad idea for it basically gives Microsoft a wider platform to leverage their business praxis. It's a bad idea for it is a "me too" technology.
Then it's *also* known to be a bad idea to enter the lion's den.
Welcome to America! Here we let big business dictate what can be said in public. Imaginary Property is more important than a working democracy, we have already bought the votes we need. No need letting anyone debate that, is there?
I'm downright scared that so many comment on this is so humorous. If I lived in the US, I'd leave.
In a country where you can be tried for crimes you did not even commit, justice is no longer even a fantasy.
Thanks for a few hundred years of being a beacon if liberty! What a shame it would end like this. I admire the spirit that fueled men like Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Robert E. Lee. We have had liberal democracies back here in the old world thanks to them, Napoleon and some other guys. I don't know if shall laugh of cry.
Yes, I'm damn serious. Leave while you can, soon it will be illegal too.:-(
Yes, it is sad.
The country who's revolution started a wave of liberty and democracy is throwing out 200 years of justice.
If I lived in the US, I'd leave.
I wouldn't trust the next election results for a second.
Unfortunately most technical users have "Upgradeitis" as well.
OpenVMS is a good example of the Right Way(tm). When they ported it to Alpha from VAX they didn't recode all from scratch, but did a VAX simulator layer instead. Easier to verify that it was correct, and the code that had worked fine since 1977 could keep working fine.
Apple and Microsoft et.c. are working very hard to eradicate lessons learnt long time ago in Computer Science and the practical field of computer hacking. I hate that.
Beta? Call me an cynical old fart, but I bet this was planned and designed that way. Best way to eliminate the opposition.
Norton might not be that great, but that their tagging should be a mistake, that I don't belive for a second.

OpenVMS would like word with Trusted solaris. ;)

Apart from the fact that the guys is an idiot, why was there a gun available to him? THAT is the problem.
It's not that it's badly implemented. It's that DRM is a bad *idea*. Period.

Defender, Tempest 'nuff said.
Good grief.
