Do you know what an octothorpe is?

Got an email about a script I could run, and the guy said I can comment out specific network elements by using the octothorpe.
I was like WTF is an octothorpe.

Looked it up....I'll be damned.

Programmers. Sheesh.


So, do you know what an octothorpe is?

Yep. I always called it the pound sign. Seems a bit eaiser to just say hash or pound, as opposed to octothorpe.
