Hackers (and the interactive computer games they write) traditionally favor
|
|
|
|
|
this slightly marked usage over other possible equivalents such as There's
|
|
|
|
|
no X here! or X is missing. or Where's the X?. This goes back to the
|
|
|
|
|
original PDP-10 ADVENT , which would respond in this wise if you asked it to
|
|
|
|
|
do something involving an object not present at your location in the game.
