Overreaction to what is probably a bug. Title is flamebait and unforgivably overstated compared to the offense (which is offering a free service at slightly less than the quality the author desires).

All light, no heat. Or, is heat the one you want and light the one you don't? Either way, nothing good can come of it. Flagged.

This man is angry at Google - angry enough to literally kill Google if Google were a person - because of an omitted button.

Mike, doing this does not mean that Google is evil or anything of the sort. That's linkbait and you know it.

They're protecting themselves from what might be automated queries. There's likely nothing you or they can do about it, as lowering the rate is probably opening them to attacks/system gaming.

Here's a thought: switch your results-per-page to a higher number so you can pull more before they get suspicious. With luck, that would mean you take longer to get through a page so that they also stop thinking you're a robot.

EDIT: Also, if this was a joke, ha-ha, you got me, etc.
