Hehehe... if you use(d) *nix you'll know what this means. ;)

Nice.
Some nice quotes:
Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald Knuth
"On Usenet nobody knows you're a god!" -- Kibo
Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it. -- Gene Spafford
"Software is like sex; it's better when it's free." --Linus Torvalds
Usenet is like Tetris for people who still remember how to read. -- Button from the Computer Museum, Boston, MA
"There is infinite hope, but not for us." -- Kafka
"Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had." --Linus Torvalds
Use Net News, don't Abuse Net News -- href="//www.domtools.com/~pab/" target="_blank">Paul Balyoz
"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." -- Jefferson
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life. -- Andrew Brown (my favourite so far ;)
"NT 5.0 is the last nail in the Unix coffin. Interestingly, Unix isn't in the coffin... It's wondering what the heck is sealing itself into a wooden box 6 feet underground..." --Jason McMullan
(note to the uninitiated - NT5 was later renamed to Windows 2000. See now? ;)
"Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network." -- Tim Berners-Lee in Technology Review, July 1996 (this is the guy who invented the web, kids.)
More quotes (including where I got these) can be seen at www.newzbot.com (at the bottom of the page).
Peace out,
