The Multitasking Mike Bishop

Quote:Suddenly, there were four hits.

I suspect Google filter by IP address. There was a time when entering google.com got you something different from google.co.uk, but now it just redirects you to the UK page. It must then filter by relevance of the domain of a search result to the IP address of the query. Clever. But not clever enough. I shall have to get a US-based webhost ;-)

Valete,
TITVS/Daniele Sabatini

... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...

So how does one say "Delete" in Latin?

Perhaps Cato was a cyberman (thinks: 'Carthago delenda est!')

I must admit I'm a Dalek man myself (as a kid I was once chased by the combined forces of the red and black Daleks through Selfridges in London, but my mother and I used the stairs trick on them; we Time Lords are not to be fooled with...).
