This other definition listed in the Urban Dictionary is the one I have heard:
6. snarf noun; Any person, male or female, that sniffs bicycle seats.
7. snarf link send redefine 6 up, 12 down American slang of the 1920's and 30's referring to someone who draws pleasure from sniffing the seats of girls' bicycles.
This lets different kinds of grammatical mutability sneak into the language, and lets people experiment with different syntaxes and different ways of attaching those syntaxes to new kinds of semantics.
Translation: "Perl 6 code will be the most unreadable Perl ever."
Ah, the annoying Interrogative Declaration. I have a colleague who is afflicted with this. It gets on my nerves so I have thought about the problem. I offer the following explanations: - she is trying to communicate something but is unsure of herself - she is unsure that her listener understands what she is trying to communicate - she is trying to give advice in a polite manner; few people seem to know how to be polite ~in words~ anymore

Friend, it was hard to tell that you are an ESL speaker. I found it funny that someone presenting his proud Linux credentials spoke such sloppy English.
But if you're an ESL speaker, your English is functional. Chapeau!
Note, however, that you've picked up a virus in your English. It's interesting that the stupid "Like" virus has spread so much in English speech that even an ESL speaker has contracted it.
I speak two languages very well, and two others reasonably well.
Roughly speaking, it's pretty close to what the first European colonists were celebrating: survival. Don't knock it. I can't think of much more important to celebrate.
Are you speaking for the Indians? "Roughly speaking," perhaps?
It's easy to be cocky about the survival of the fittest when you're on the trigger-end of a gun, unlike the Aztec, Mayan, Incan, Polynesian, Indian, Australian "aboriginal", Jew, Roma, Bosniak, and so on.
If survival of the fittest by whatever means is the Great Principle and all human life is capable of in your view, I assume that you'd be equally philosophical if those whom you love were cut to pieces by Crusaders looking for gold or thugs looking for fenceable items and an easy fuck.
Your birth was as random an event as mine. Celebrate that if you like, but the fact that we got born is no credit to us, and not much credit to those who bore us.
How we live our lives is where the credit is.
Yeah I know it's politically incorrect not to sympathize with the poor put upon natives. But I'll be damned if I'll feel any kind of remorse for the fact that I was born here and survived.
Remorse is unnecessary -- I assume you've killed no one. But it isn't clever or innovative to talk callously, to ignore the mistakes of history, or to dismiss the plight of a vagrant asleep on the sidewalk because you are grand.
We can agree that there's more than enough hypocrisy and murderous greed in the world. Here's what I know: there would be more of both if not for people who oppose them.
Poll: For the new Prisoner series, which of the following liberties is most likely to be taken?
a) 80% of the production budget will be for explosions b) 80% of the production will be for cleavage c) the Lotus Seven that McGoohan drove will be replaced by a Toyota Echo d) the Rover balloon will have advertizing pasted all over it e) Adam Sandler in the main role
Sometimes I spark up IE to test how many pop-up windows I can fit into my RAM. Much easier than rebooting to let BIOS test the memory.
IE's great for getting a metric for maximum render-time for the Web pages that I whip up.
I also like to see how well Microsoft Defender (né Anti-Spyware) does in identifying the 30 or so cool things that get installed secretly on my computer when I browse a few sites with IE.
