image of the error stripe nagging me, help me turn it off, please!!!

One thing that really gets to me when wtiting code with Netbeans is the inability to turn off the "error stripe", which shows hints and warnings about "issues" it has detected in the code. I'm really, really, REALLY not interested in those hints, warnings, or error indicators, at all, in fact I see them as a MAJOR distraction.

For example, if I type 'x = ' and I'm sitting there thinging about what x is going to equal, I DO NOT want an error indicator to pop up and distract me telling me that this line of code is unfinished. I know it's unfinished, I'm trying to think about the code so stop distracting me with flashing error indicators!! 

Can I just use Netbeans without it trying to error-check my code every time I type a single character? How about if there is a setting for "only check my code every nth char typed", and, even better yet, a setting for "never ever ever check my code for errors, ever."

I like all the advanced features of Netbeans sometimes, but often I just want a code highlighter that doesn't nag me if it can't figure out how to highlight the code. NetBeans would greatly benefit from such a feature.
