#5 Re: web locate Posted by busfault (69.205.xx.xx) on Sun 18 Feb 2007 at 02:39 This has reminded me how much I hate "special characters". For one, go and try to look up special characters on any search engine, gives you NOTHING. However, I believe that these characters should somehow be used in a search since there are times when it can become necessary. For example: what if you were a new perl user and didn't know what $? means? try looking for that online... (even trying to escape the chars) good luck! Its kind of funny, since google gives back an unexpected result in format when you search for them, as apposed to "Your search - $? - did not match any documents." as one might expect, it is a blank google page. Most perl sites search pages can't handle them either. I understand the whole regexp and arbitraty commands on server issue, but it can be annoying if they are removed. -Tom Running out of disk quota space, try rm -rf ~/* Having horrible computer karma? Install Linux, your computer problems shall vanish.
