So you're telling me you only played those games once? I mean, most people who like a game enough to buy it play it at least 100 times (or the equivalent of 100 arcade $.25 runs).
A lot of the great canadian references come from the movie "Strange Brew," based on characters from "The Great White North" which I believe was a Saturday Night Live skit.
As for hearing anyone but them say it this way, the only peoples who I personally have heard with such an accent are those in Minnesota, which, as you probably know, is geographically very close to Canada.;)
Perhaps you might understand this point of view by thinking of it as paralleling a medical procedure -- amputating a lower leg to save the rest of the body.
It's different from other IP, because it's not published; it's a trade secret. Music files, binary executables, etc., aren't kept secret.
When someone reveals a secret, it's no longer a secret, so its secret-virginity has been lost; since being lost is a result of someone else's actions, there is good reason to call it "stealing."
I guess you couldn't tell I was writing satire: usually michael tends to waaay over-exaggerate things in the privacy department. Usually half the stuff he posts has nothing to do with privacy but he puts it under "YRO" anyway along with some ridiculous troll/spin.
This is michael posting. Shouldn't this article be under YRO? I mean, think of the privacy applications of having a device monitor your beer consumption. Frankly, this is pretty frightening, and, though I may be putting on my tin foil hat here a bit, I think it's safe to say that this is another drastic setback for modern privacy rights.
Every 30 minutes or so (maybe more), it has the default browser open up http://www.neomodus.com/macpop.php. If I didn't have Safari's pop-up blocking enabled, I'm sure it would open a pop-up. What it does for me instead is just opens the window and immediately closes it.
Perhaps you should have realized that there is a way to reconcile the fact that: a) I pointed out that using "grow" in that fashion is annoying and b) I "verbed" a noun myself: in fact, had you read the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes" more, you would have realized that I was quoting Calvin from a similar situation.
So, what conclusion can we draw from this? I was being tounge-in-cheek. Not being a grammar nazi.
Slashdot Mirror
Headline says 30 mistakes, article says 31 :^O
That would be mistake number 32.
I cannot believe you left off Steve "Monkey Boy" Ballmer!
In case anyone doesn't know, the parent is spoofing a song by Murray Head entitled One Night in Bangkok.

Hydra is a better name, but I digress.
:P
Sorry, but Hitchhiker's Guide allusions trump Greek mythological allusions any day of the week.

Leave out the slashcode-induced space, of course.
Do they at least give you the option of "quick" or "slow and painful"?

Oh my that's funny. And so original.

Yes, just like everything else on Slashdot. I have a carefully targeted audience.
'Canadian English'?
Will StarOffice append '", eh?" to every sentence? Or does it simply replace "about" with "aboot"?
And you didn't include a link?
Pity.
I was looking forward to geilsten photos of rat-sharp Girls.

Mod parent up, what he says is true.

You should take the introductory course Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Allusions 101.
That is a very bad case of vendor lock-in. What, does your "urination implement" fit in only their "proprietary toilet"?
No one can email you if you post as AC and don't leave any sort of identification or email...
$20 says that the parent AC is the same who wrote its parent.
MOD UP PARENT? It's MOD PARENT UP.
I do agree about the karma whoring though.
Wife.

Codes want to be anthropomorphized.
Obligatory Google cache of Google in case it gets slashdotted.

So, it's really not intrusive.

Have a nice day.
