No shell that I know about makes no such requirement. The execution search order is maintained in the PATH environment variable. If "." isn't there, it won't ever be searched, but that's just the shell doing what it is told. (Note that nearly every security book I've read has mentioned that putting "." in the PATH is a bad thing, and a Really Bad thing if you are root).
'bar' is merely the base word of 'barbarian'. 'disbarred' is the practice of banning someone from the groups generally responsible for sacking and overrunning otherwise civil society.

"THE LIST"

IMDb Turns 15

· Score: 4, Interesting
Even prior to Col's nifty script (which quite certainly was the beginning of the searchable IMDB), there was this innocent little posting with "THE LIST" as its subject. I don't recall the original author.
The body of the article was a rather short (5 - 10, IIRC) list of actresses. This list was better known as "the list of actresses we wish we could boink".
We guy-nerds (and maybe some properly-inclined gal-nerds) added to THE LIST for a few weeks until some decided that our salaciousness required male targets as well. Eventually, the lists, umm, grew and the "want to boink" aspect somewhat, umm, fell off.:-)
So, before it went legit, the forerunner of IMDB was completely founded on fantasizing about sex.

Mrrph -- I LOLed. Bummer, I *just* spent my last mod point.
You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!
