Was just looking at the wikipedia page for the GNU assembler, and came across the following: movl %eax,%edx /* this is a comment sandwich,
it is made of description
and linebreak */
Was this one of you?

Google "this is a comment sandwich". Click "show all results". Cry out in shame.

Watch your tongue with me, boy. You may be an expert on copypasta, but you're still in no position to look down on me with that horrible spelling. Maybe you should be in school instead of posting on the internet!

Why are there so many fucking sites that just leech content from Wikipedia?

To generate ad revenue without ever starting up their own brains.
Oh, this also applies to persons who add their pages to the ``External links'' section of Wikipedia articles. Half of those pages usually consist of 10% copypasted information, and 90% advertisement.

Those sites do not actually use a ``clipboard'' or ``paste buffer'', because the advertisements would not manage to offset the cost of the large workforce it would require, even if it were performed by African-Americans living in emerging countries.
It is therefore wrong to use terms such as ``copypasta'', ``⌘V'', or ``Kopipe''.
Suggested terminology: ``Mirroring'', ``Making use of the legal provisions of the GNU Free Documentation License'', ``Prettying up a big-ass mysql dump of libre consumer-generated media'', ``www cloning''.
