Money isn't worth anything at all until you buy something with it. --Suso Sometimes some really good random signature lines get cut off at eighty characte There have to be limits.

This isn't the planet I signed up for. -- Rebecca Herald It's better to be king among kings than king among pawns. -- Marina Kim In the time you spent complaining, you could have done something about it. Don't be the Linus Torvalds of today, instead prepare for being the Linus Torvalds of tommorow. Don't be discouraged that a good attitude doesn't make the world a better place. You'll just have to have try having attitude 6 billion times greater. Now you can type "make install" to build Tulpas\n(or press that green button to restart universe). It's never too late to kick someone's ass. -- Karen Knight Linux is like living in a teepee. No Windows, no Gates, Apache in the house. Hmmm. If you make donut holes when you make donuts, I wonder if you get server holes when you make servers... -- Joe Bowman I would crush my own eyeballs with a crimper before I volunteered to work on a project with C++. -- Adrian Hosey This is the Unix philosophy:\nWrite programs that do one thing and do it well.\nWrite programs to work together.\nWrite programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface. -Doug MacIlroy Distrust all claims for "one true way". -- Eric S.

Thank you for sharing your amazing program, ran it up on my linux box and it smacked me in the face like halibut handled by a jealous fishwife! -- Some guy Joe: SYN\nSuso: ACK\nJoe: FIN\n I keep wasting good randomsigs on e-mails that I end up canceling. Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature to help me spread! Everything is vulnerable to something. -- Jeremy Fischer Computers and programs do the work for us, not the other way around. --Suso Monday isn't worse than the other days.

Let them know that you are a person too. --Suso Hi you've reached the offices of Skullbocks, Tim and Larry are out right now so leave us a message so that we can call you back while you're out and leave you one. A bad workman always blames his tools. That's why I don't use Windows. --Suso It's difficult not to be negative about things, but it's important not to be. One's reputation is quickly tarnished. --Scott Kellogg I can't tell whether you're using Emacs or playing Tetris. --Suso Windows is like Diet Coke, why would I want to get used to the taste when I know it sucks. --Suso With every big success comes a little failure.\nWith every big failure comes a little success. --Suso I am not an earthling or a martian,\nbut a conscience entity of the multi-dimensional space time continuum. --Suso You can affect the minds of webmasters and sysadmins by typing in a message after the hostname/ part in a url and hitting reload several times on the resulting 404 page. --Suso Software patents are not a family value. --Suso My kitchen is on fire.
