Arrogant Assuming Bastards!

Quote:

Hi Bill,

Thank you for your note. As you've discovered, Google normally redirects users in countries other than the United States from Google.com to one of our country-specific sites (e.g. Google.com.co for Google Colombia). We use your computer's IP address, which is frequently the internet address of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), to determine your location and the corresponding Google domain.

You can visit Google.com by setting a bookmark for http://www.google.com/webhp. You'll be taken to http://www.google.com/webhp (this is exactly the same as www.google.com) each time you select the bookmark.

We apologize for any inconvenience this process may cause you. If we can assist you further, please let us know.

Regards,
The Google Team

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

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.

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

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:

Quote:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

- now make it look like this

Quote:

- 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
