    What happens if you try to translate "more über"?

    German 'über', medieval German: 'uper' - comes from Latin 'super', which in turn comes from Greek 'hyper'...

    All of these: 'hyper', 'super', 'upper', 'above'... have the same root (and in fact the same meanings) as 'über'.

    So take a pick :-)

  • Herohtar (unregistered)

    Ohhh... save $X? Does that mean I get to define my own discount?

    Interestingly, Google translates "über" as "about". However, add a period so that you have "über." and it comes out as "above."...

    Wow.. are you really that ignorant to the fact that there's not a phone number, street, city, or state on the ad?

    I've actually purchased from Edible Arrangements before... they're pretty damn expensive, but their Appreciation/Sweetheart Bouquets are just about the most spectacular gifts on earth. I'd love to have $X off of one of those.

    are you completely ignorant to the fact that there's HUMOR used in some responses? subtle as it may be?

    One thing that saddens me about the demise of Commodore in the early nineties and the subsequent loss of the Amiga as a viable mass-market platform is that i will almost certainly never see a Guru-Meditation screen on a jumbotron or information display anywhere.. so much cooler than a windows crash.
    A few years ago, before "TV Guide" channel on cable, we had a channel called "Prevue Channel"... the ads on the top of the screen were apparently controlled by an Amiga, because I saw the Guru Meditation crash on there more than once. Wish I still had the proof on VHS.

    Funnily enough, I'm designing some equipment right now to do just this... sensors detect whether your eyes have scanned every line of a message, an interface to the mouse makes sure you scroll down slowly enough from one message to the next that you don't skip anything, and electrodes pass brainwaves to a natural-language processing module that ensures you've understood what has been written.

    I don't suppose it should take too long to build.

    That brings me to a suggestion: it would be nice to see if somebody made a comment on a comment, i.e. not only can one see that a comment is a reply to a comment but also the original shows how many replies (quotes) there are for a given post. Since there is no "Help improving this site" letter box I could never suggest this to Alex. Maybe now he reads it?

    Yes, indeed! Also, let's add mandatory tags such as </sarcasm>, </joke>, </seriously>. So we can also avoid the whole "You are stupid. Am not--I was joking. YOU are stupid. Am not--THAT was a joke. Your stu--" etc... etc... etc...

    I don't get the last one. Is the problem that you can only save $10 or that it expired 8 years ago?

    I think it's interesting that your mind associated $X with a roman numeral making it $10. Mine said, "Oh, man... when I find this company, they're going to owe me so much money!"

    $X? That's like a blank check right there.

    "über" can mean any of "over", "about" or "above" depending on the context. Of course, by context I do not mean mere punctuation, though.

    For extra fun, composite words starting with "über" can have entirely different translations, e.g. "übertragen" = "to transfer", "übermäßig" = "excessive(ly)", "Überfall" = "assault", and, ironically, "Übersetzung" = "translation".
