Arrogant Assuming Bastards!
 

I would like to beat the living shit out of whoever assumed this would be a "added value". I am so sick of them making changes to computer programs and websites without asking. Installing shit on my computers without permission. Their fookin' little page re-drirects and shit. My ISP changed the name from a .com to a .co for email. Simply for marketing purposes. Never asked anybody anything. I called them raising hell and got mine changed back. GD cable companies changing channels and claiming market research - BS!

Abusive bastards.

Yeah, you "can assist me further", put the fookin' thing back like it was and leave it the fook alone!

Tell us how you really feel. :p

Yes, with all the money you pay to Google each year, your outrage is completely justified. :rolleyes: :boohoo

LOL

That it is free is the only reason I am not on a Chiba (brightly painted musical caravan bus) somewhere in Mexico on my way to their HQ. I do pay for my ISP and cable tv. Imagine living in a world where you have to watch the NFL playoffs in Spanish with soccer commentators. Yet you can watch the same junior league soccer game on 4 different channels in English or Spanish. Or knowing there is college football on, yet you get ice skating and volleyball.

Nothing is ever easy...

I live on West End Avenue, as in the "West End" of Manhattan. The Postal Service in its infinite wisdom, and any number of automated systems that follow USPS practice, has decided I must live on W END AVE.

LOL

Sounds like you need a satellite dish.

Do they say "goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll lllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when TDs are scored? Is the kicker perceived as the most skilled athlete on the team? LMAO

LOL - exactly what I am talking about. And when you don't get your mail, they will go all stupid on you.

That is satellite. Sky and Direct TV. You should see the local service.

Yes, to both questions. "Brutality and Barbarism" are frequently heard to describe the last play.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. I don't think they went anywhere they were already at STUPID in the first place. :D

Google changed it back to the local one. And blocked the cookies so I can't fix it.

BASTARDS!

Hey I don't have any google problems, oops, I forgot I don't use the "free" gmail either....:p

google invading your privacy on a level the government could only dream of....


google+invading+privacy = 311,000 google hits....;)

Wasn't Google found out to be aiding the Chinese government in censoring internet content?

That sure is good of them.

You guys are making me feel bad - STOP IT!:p

NDD, If you don't have it fixed yet try this:

- using notepad edit this file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
- it will look something like this:

- now make it look like this

- save the file
- delete all google.com & www.google.com cookies
- try going to www.google.com

Let me know if this helps...keep in mind that they may change that IP so later we may have to change it manually.

No Dan, I did it, but it went right back to www.google.com.co

Try adding this line:

72.14.207.99 www.google.com.co

But, but, that's the one I don't want...

We're telling your computer not to use the settings that they are trying to force you to.

- add: 72.14.207.99 www.google.com.co
- browse to: www.google.com.co

This will tell your computer to us the real google.com in place of the www.google.com.co

You'll know your there when you see this image:

Why don't you just click on Preferences, to the right of the search box, and select English as your interface language? :munchin

If you're curious about the search results, you can exclude areas right below that option, although I think it switches to prioritize the language you've chosen.

Martin

I think that he just doesn't want those country preferences forced on him.
Language preferences don't matter if the page redirect is dictated by IP address.

Snafuracer: Actually, they do. I live in Sweden and used to have Spanish on my machine, now English.

Martin

I think that there may be an option in the Preferences.....your Google preferences....which permit you to select which page that you use as default.

My own Google page defaults to Google Thailand.

But there is a link to Google.com right on the page. I clicked it...and boom: I am on google.com, with a link offering to take me back to google.co.th, should I prefer.

I am signed into the gmail service....and I use an increasing number of Google services. Like news.

As the counselor points out, the price is right.

:)

That's what I did before. Now they have the cookies blocked. When the prefs page comes up, it says I don't have cookies on - DAMN LIE! I do. All of them. It worked before, it's something they're doing.

When I click on that one, it also opens to .co

Dan,
I'll try that tomorrow.

ok, that is bizarre.

are you sure that Google is doing it?

I would almost suspect your ISP.

Not pointing fingers, of course.

:)

Try clearing the cookie cache.

Martin

Google is implementing it's thought control program, one country at a time.

Resistance is futile.

Sounds like Neville Chamberlain. :D

You talking about the DNC's poster boy for conflict resolution?
