That is pretty amusing.

Now, do you mean the Microsoft thing or the women thing?

You know you''re a programmer when your computer is like family. When it''s more like a lover, you need help.

Guy: Do it without the quotes. Just click on GameCreator''s link. And don''t look at the results. Look just above the results.

Well, considering that Microsoft is out to crush any company that provides any kind of competing service to any one of theirs, I guess Google felt like turning it around on them with subliminal messages.

Because of these subliminal messages, Google has become more popular than God, and free software is increasing in popularity regularly.
