The result you see with that (unless you're using some particular language or locality preferences) is the same I see, the same Per sees, the same Rob sees, the same we all see. > So, this list is a much better source of information that waddling > through the crap that's thrown at you on G. > And I find that Googie is getting pretty garbagy even if there is > nothing better around ;-) I agree with you on that. What used to be a superior algorithm is slowly and inevitably turning into a standard, run-of-the-mill search engine that's being SPAM'ed and exploited with blackhat SEO crap that certainly lowers the value of the results as a whole. > As for the keyboard, this is the first time I have ever, ever needed the > back quote key although I have occasionally needed the ~ key for Windows > stuff. Yeah, I think the only thing that Windows uses it for is punctuation, but since ~1970 UNIX has used it for code execution purposes. Just keep in mind that, in PHP, it's run completely raw --- so make sure you do your sanity checks before passing any kind of user input to that (as always). -- </Daniel P.
