Does ASCII Fiend have a slightly older cousin called EBCDIC Warrior?  And the little sister Unicode Minx? ;-)

Karlos?

Only if they are sweet and innocent. Otherwise ASCII could lose his place as the world's most irate sequence of three characters...

me not can good write English very... :oops:

A turkish uni friend of mine had a default phrase he'd use on any salespeople etc that came to the door or called. It was a cracker, he'd put on this really heavy accent and announce:

"I'm apology, I don't speak england very bestly."

Killed me every time :lol:

Found this site http://www.cantfindongoogle.com/

Half the people can't find what they're looking for because of the dumb things they try in a search.

Really looking for: I\'m dying to know the name of a song that i heard someone playing some 2 years ago at camp (Seeds of Peace), i really can\'t remember ANYTHING about it. That\'s quite funny. It\'s probably a 90s song, sung by a girl, the rythm is probably similar to \"It\'s All About Money\" by Meja.
Queries tried: "Can't remember song" "Can't remember songs" "Cant remember song/s" "can't recall song", etc...

Like google is supposed to be psychic and know the song you can't remember.  :roll:  :lol:

 :lol:

Really looking for: The name and/or artist of a song. Female singer, only real lyrics I remember are just her voice saying "do do do" over and over to the beat of the song. And a part of a line that goes something like "I was sitting on the corner".
Queries tried: You can imagine how unsuccessful one might be searching for "do do do". heh. I tried searching for variations of "sitting on the corner" and cancelling out artist names that weren't the right one (eg: -"grandmaster flash" ). No luck.

Lyrics are usually a piece of cake. Sometimes it helps to filter out junk by including the word "lyrics"

And then it all comes back to spam.

Here's a *MUST GOOGLE*.

Your usual username, and your most used password. Surprisingly my username was posted with one of my passwords in a textfile cached by google. Scary. Glad I no longer use a single password.

Google has always sucked. Back when Altavista was the best things were much easier to find. Remmeber when searches had a boolesk logic syntax:
Amiga&java&!(tao|amigade)

half the time on google I only find:
www.german-porn-warez-spam.de
:lol:

Why are the germans competing with the russians at search spaming?

Woah. Webcrawler finds hits for "Best Desktop Font".
Only engine that returned a hit so far.

 :roflmao:

Google is improving... now THIS page shows up as the only result!  :lol:

I always used Webcrawler when the web was new. It's directory search only, eh?
