Any specific type of thing that is different in a noticeable way, similar to a horse dyed with Jello powder so that is a different color. A new way of doing something.
In 1992 the Sony Minidisc was a horse of a different color when it came to sound recordings.
Well, that's the horse of a different color! <--In the Wizard of Oz when they refer to the purple and blue horses.

The second most common outcome of Rhode Island's Keno Plus. With Keno Plus you pay twice as much for the chance of getting up to 10x the winnings. If you get No Plus, you only get 1x the winnings, or viewed alternatively, 0x the extra winnings.
I played 15 games with a $10 wager per game using with the Plus, but got No Plus on 10 games.
A technological measure to prevent you, the consumer, from enjoying content that you paid for because it's from another country. Virtually all DVD players have this built in, as well as video game consoles. In the USA , it is illegal to modify a device in such a way as to defeat the region lock. This evil invention allows hated countries (that is countries with a race that is not preferred) to get movies and games last while Aryan countries get them first, and it makes the authentic legitimate original less valuable because of the restrictions put on it.
The fact that there is a region lock on my game console reinforces my stereotype that the U.S.A. is nowhere near a free country.
A region lock is a hate crime on a chip.

1. An electronic device that is overkill or is grossly over-engineered for a given task. An example is a 200 megahertz oscilloscope on your $8,000 CD transport to view sound waves that are four orders of magnitude less clear.
2. Any expensive device bought to "improve" the performance of a system (not just a sound system), when only a small percentage of the potential of the added on device will be used.
They now have a "gaming" network card with a K-shaped heatsink on it, which is about as pointless as a high-fidelity oscilloscope.
So you bought a blu-ray recording deck to get crisp copies off your VHS tapes you taped off of UHF rabbit ears?? You might as well as bought a high fidelity oscilloscope to draw a graph of how often the furnace switches on.
Bob Dylan spent $2,000 on a new Karoke machine with the ribbon microphone,electrostatic speaker, and Akai open-reel deck, but I personally think he wasted his money on a high fidelity oscilloscope.
RiceBoy:My $250 Yugo has remote-start, DVD video system with navigation, and premium high-octane fuel in the tank, as well as an exhaust tailpipe big enough to fit an LP record album in sideways. MuscleCarMan:(sarcastic tone)You should put in a high-fidelity oscilloscope in next!

Used as a comparison to righteously downplay the purported wrongness of a non-criminal act when it's presented as criminal. It trivializes unnecessary hatred toward a deed.
What imminent global apocalypse will happen if I fart in public? If I had 300 million dollars I'd pay someone $20 everytime I caught them farting in public.
Is there an imminent global apocalypse that will occur if I stay up during the night while you sleep, provided that I am quiet?
No matter how hard Marx tried, he couldn't stop the imminent global apocalypse that happened when people smoked marijuana in the privacy of their own homes.

A weapon in the Scorpion King, created by dipping a medieval sword's blade in gasoline (or in medieval times) lamp oil and lighting it. If you can't cut anyone with a SwordFire you can still burn huts with it.
Brodan attacked Zoras with his SwordFire, igniting his leather armor and then he stabbed him in the chest.
The idiot on that Break.com video burned his shirt and lost his arm hairs with a SwordFire.
