I was just skulking around in the #debian irc channel, as you do and it turns out dpkg (one of the resident helper bot thingys) had this to say when queried about either "linuxquestions" or "linuxquestions.org":

DON'T bother going to linuxquestions.org for help. By and large the people there are Red Hat tools or Mandrake tards or Knoppix morons who don't know a goddamn {expletive deleted} thing about debian, and do nothing but lead innocent newbies astray. See this thread
Or perhaps it's a twisted show of respect and admiration.
Well I'm off to see what dpkg has to say about life, love and the true nature of our existence...

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra, which suddenly flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
!i love you

I love you too, daws.
!he
Quote:
well, he is alone in the house left to him by the death of his parents, even though he's only feet away from the sister he's always been much closer than to anyone else. From his hidden room, he views life through concealed video cameras. Life is only real to him when he sees it on a monitor, and on most of those monitors is his sister.
