Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Yeah and did you see the uproar from the users at Novell - (imric) - (2) - Nov. 12, 2005, 06:17:35 PM EST

When's the last time you looked at Nautilus? - (ubernostrum) - (59) - Nov. 15, 2005, 05:17:56 AM EST

And this invalidates my point somehow? - (admin) - (58) - Nov. 15, 2005, 10:15:14 AM EST

So which do you want? - (ubernostrum) - (57) - Nov. 15, 2005, 04:16:06 PM EST

I thought its font handling was spectacularly awful. - (pwhysall) - (1) - Nov. 22, 2005, 09:44:15 AM EST
