Now onwards ho to the question.

This word has its origins in 1700–10; orig. Scots; perh. < Scand; cf. Norw koselig or kose seg, which means to to enjoy oneself.
The word itself is used to describe relationships, settings, and is amongst the most widespread used words in the world.

It rose to prominence however, when a company __X__, whose ad for the word __Y__ is shown, used it to describe the level of comfort it assured.

Question:
1) id the company __X__
2) Id the word __Y__




Sorry for the bad resolution on this pic, but it was hard finding the original ad)

Question 439: A little birdie once told me.....

In the Carribean or Africa, extending your palm was used to indicate that you were a product of polyandry, or in simpler, what you would like to call me after reading this question
lol
Known as the digitus impedus or digitus imfamous in the greco roman era, used to denote contempt at authority during comedy plays, it was also used as a means to deflect the eveil eye in the Mediterranean region.
Another origin is that captured English Longbows had this cut off, to render them incapable of firing arrows. Hence it was used as a victory symbol after the 100 year war.
SOme Freudians believe that it is an extension of the phallus, but that can be said about anything erect (Freud liked his flag at full mast,lol)

Question 438: Copy Luwak

Right, since our little copyright section garnered so much interest and invectives, its inspired me to this next questions.

Jim Warren, editor of the magazine which wrote (pic 1) as a joke, started with this: "There is a viable alternative to the problems raised by Bill Gates in his irate letter to computer hobbyists concerning 'ripping off' software. When software is free, or so inexpensive that it's easier to pay for it than to duplicate it, then it won't be 'stolen'." The method was to have an experienced professional do the overall design and then outline an implementation strategy. Knowledgeable amateurs would implement the design for a variety of computer systems. Warren predicted this strategy would be continued and expanded.


(pic 1)

This inspired the name of (pic 2), which is expanded upon below. It also included a phrase __X__, which like (pic 2), is the antithesis of its more affluent annotation. THe phrase __X__ includes part of (pic 2)'s name.

pic 2 is a symbol which has no legal meaning, but it has been used in a variety of spheres, especially computers with regard to programming and software.
ITs unavailable on UNICODE, but its approximated using U+2184 (reverse c)
ITs a play upon its more popular cousin, but is considered to be its reflection In all aspects, meaning included. Some would agree that its the socialist sister or the communist cousin of its more prominent variant.

That should offer all the clues you need.
