it's a joke based on older unix clients and telnet systems. The backspace key, if improperly configured, would print ^H and not delete the previous letter. So if someone wants to make it look like they deleted something, but still wants you to see the original, they just have to hit ^H a few times...
to wit:
Bill Gates is a borg^H^H^H^H nice guy.
I wanted to call him a nice guy, but my true feelings are that he's a borg. Make sense?

Heck, why not meet them halfway? They can send out CD-Rs that already have the AOL software loaded, but still has room to add other stuff... That way, people can use them to load up AOL, or use them to save important documents or whatever.
My sarcasm tags must not have been showing up well enough. (: I meant to spell "cheque" wrong... as apparently the parent did too. I didn't notice the misspelling in the article. There are so many of them, I generally just gloss over them these days. (:

Oh come on, that has to be fake... Brannon Braga wouldn't know the names of the characters.
I've gotten "underrated" moderations on posts that I didn't use my +1 bonus on, because it was something I wanted under the radar, so to speak. I have no idea why it got moderated that, and couldn't ask, because then the moderation would poof if the moderator answered.
And I don't think that made any sense at all. (:
And yes, now that I've become eligible for mod points (only took two years of capped karma!) pondering other moderator's decisions has become a part time activity of mine.
It's the opposite of "overrated"... Pretty much means the moderator felt that whatever moderation it got before is unfair, so should be bumped back up, and none of the other options fit.

What's the difference between the Rolling Stones and a Scottish farmer?
One says "Hey you, get off of my cloud" while the other says "Hey McCloud, get off of my ewe!"

Hey, I'm offended! I gave photoshop to my _THREE_ friends!

Never buy fuses from Radio Shack, either. Every single one I've ever bought there has had a short in it. Talk about poor quality control!

[Kid seated in front of a computer]: I just downloaded some movies.

[Soccer mom at Wal-Mart]: I always buy DVDs for my kids, it's cheaper than the theatre

[Teenager at his computer]: I wasn't hurting anybody.
