That's okay, I'll allow it anyway.

And I hate to disappoint you, but it's not related to the
operating system and browser being used --- it's a centralized remote
database in the form of a search engine. 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.

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.

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).
