...Which reminds me of what I hate about Google.  When I type 'www.google.com'
that's the website I want.  I do not want 'www.google.nl', nor do I want
you to require a cookie to store the fact that I want the URL I entered.

It isn't even checking my locale settings--it is using my IP for its
assumptions.  'www.google.com/en' no longer works; it was probably too
easy to remember.

Stop trying to assume you know what I want better than I do.
There's stuff above here
