Yes, a good example is "blow" and "job" - put together they form a word
that only is on porn sites - but each word can have other meanings as well.
I tried to find a mpeg editor yesterday (just to see if one existed that
was free) and of course I needed to add "-porn -xxx" even on such a search
to get rid of the porn sites. (I found one made in Java for Win9x - I
wonder why it required Win9x if it was in Java - any suggestions on other
programs is appreciated).
Quite frankly I'm using the search engines less and less since they:
a. *always* (almost anyway) lists porn sites
b. give pages that have been down a long time (well mostly Altavista gives
this problem)
I'm also trying to figure out why I so often lately when I visit pages
(yahoo.com, google.com etc.) end up at completly diffrent sites (or at
times at a page entitled "test" with no other HTML then the <TITLE> tag. Is
it my ISP (that had much trouble with mail a month ago) or my Internet
sharing program?
