I just tried, it's working fine.

That's cause there's some weird DNS problems going on (when the round-robin turns over we'll be able to see the .com again) -- that's why I posted an IP for him. Tarun, try IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS and see if it breaks your access to google.com -- probably not, but at least it'll prove the theory one way or the other

HOLY HELL!

It is down (or the .com is)

Start, Run, IPConfig /flushdns right?

Googlebot is even on this forum right now.

Ever seen the Google cookie? There was also something about how Google blocks things, like if you were to search for Iraqi prisoner abuse pictures on Google and Yahoo, Google wouldn't show them, Yahoo would.

Would anyone honestly want to see this? But I guess censorship in any way does suck. No I have never seen the google cookie, but I have never trusted thier toolbar (or anyother addon toolbar for that matter). Did spybot or adaware find it to be a tracking cookie?

No, but if you look I believe it expires in 2038.

They are planning to take over the world but at least its not microsoft or intel takeing the world over.After all ms and intel suck.Googles stuff works, "sorta".

And it really dosn't matter about there cookies, all my cookies delete after firefox closes.

Google's meta-cookie is not as much of a concern as everyone thinks it is
It's used for a lot of preference saving, across all their products and networks, but also who cares if it's for aggregate data collection? It's not like google's the only one doing it, and their privacy statement is available for all those who are concerned about it.

[Cursedbythegods]

I like google because they have a sense of humor and a nice clean website.
