When you drop this item on the floor, if you had added a barcode it makes more and smaller fragments.

Or, to put it another way, more to clean up.

It's subliminal messaging by the anti-warez campainers ;-)

Ok so you didn't get that one ?


- Buy game = packaging with a barcode on it
- Frag = a kill in a game like Quake (a goal, increase in score)
- w = with (w/o = without)

therefore, buy the game (have a barcode) gives you an advantage of more frags (higher score), but use a warez (pirate) version and your at a disadvantage...

Well, no one said my Boinc has been hijacked, so I guess it is a good wu from the project.

thanks

I guess it is a good wu from the project.


Buried in a note about what was being planned, there was an explanation that they were going to be releasing a collection of WU with strange names to test various theories and see which produced the best results. The cryptic names refer to things that supposedly make sense to those in charge.

I'm with those that think that it's just shorthand GELF speak.. :)
