"Looks like you're a traitor!" 

I'm unclear on the origin and circumstances of this Clippy parody graphic hosted on Paranoia-Live.net. A friend of mine, a gamer but not a PARANOIA gamer, found it via the web-browser extension StumbleUpon, which only shows how far out of the loop even we High Programmers can get. Evidently we have citizen Ron Harwood to thank for the image but I speak under correction.

Comments:
It started when Twim-R-NGE found http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33583

He asked, "Friend Computer doesn't have Clippy the Paperclip, does it?"

This inspired Adam-R-LON-1, who, less than one day later, posted the image.

Adam's often doing things like that... he's a good, loyal citizen.

He also loves IntSec - I wonder if anybody's stumbled upon THAT picture?
 
I'm assuming the 'Ron Harwood' came from the copyright notice I stuck on my minisite, as the actual website I indifferently stole the HTML for it from had his name on it. Now his name is mentioned here too it's even more likely he'll cease and desist the pants off me or something.

Thanks for the mention though Allen!

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
