Sunday, September 23 newzbot database interface - alt.foo.bar Hehehe... if you use(d) *nix you'll know what this means. ;) Oh, another site found on my random travels thru the net: www.techsono.com 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 "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, Chris.
