I'd think it's the coolness thing. But highly intelligent people do it occasionally, so I have no clue either. One such person I know of was Erik Naggum, though I can't find an example here http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Erik_Naggum. But Usenet is full of them. A funny one: "you have been evaluated. you have a negative reference count. prepare to be garbage collected. persistence is futile." http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3150641 439642...@naggum.no.html Andras -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
