How to disable auto show hints in IntelliJ IDEA on mouse over?
Edit:
This hint could be very big if you call existing method with incorrect parameters. It's very uncomfortable.
There are the same behaviour in PyCharm:
and WebStorm:

What does PyCharm have in common with the question?

@Piotr Dobrogost, I edited my question to be more clear. You can see these tooltips in any of JetBrains IDEs.

But you want to keep the inspections activated? I.e. the little yellow and red marks on the right edge of the code panel?

@vikingsteve, yep, you are right.

Those popups (or tooltips) has been my worst annoyance in the editor for a while. There is how I fixed it: On the editor, at the bottom-right of the window, there is a head icon. Click it and uncheck the box "Import popup".
You can have a look at this guide (with images) to help you finding the checkbox: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/disabling-inspections.html
I hope that can help you

TOTALLY: Open Settings (or Pereferences, if you are OS X user) dialog, choose Editor | Inspections. On the Mange tab (right pane of the dialog) select Copy. Then click the language node. Here you can find the setion that is probably responsible for your tooltips and disable it. Or disable the whole language node, if you like. This way you have all the IDE features working and no tooltips at all. You can return back to Project Default inspections profile when you need it.
PARTIALLY: Try to disable the respected intention action. Press Alt+Enter when you see the tooltip, select the action from the list and press the right arrow key. In the context menu, select "Disable".
