-  I said a while ago that there is such a difference between a newbie and
-  a dumbass. No matter what you actually know about a system (linux, cars,
-  girls :D) you should ALWAYS be able to take a step back and be objective,
-  otherwise, you're just dumb IMHO. A girl i live with assumed the vacuum
-  cleaner was broken because it didn't suck things up. never thought to change
-  the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a
-  case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with
-  your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many
-  people seem to see the word "error" and then stop...  few seem to actually
-  read the words on the OTHER side of the colon.
