What every beginner really needs ...

I found this and thought you guys might find it amusing:

One day a Novice came to the Master.
"Master," he said, "How is it that I may become a Writer of Programs?"
the Master looked solemly at the Novice.
"Have you in your possession a Compiler of Source Code?" the Master asked.
"No," replied the Novice.
the Master sent the Novice on a quest to the Store of Software.

Many hours later the Novice returned.
"Master," he said, "How is it that I may become a Writer of Programs?"
the Master looked solemly at the Novice.
"Have you in your possession a Compiler of Source Code?" the Master asked.
"Yes," replied the Novice.
the Master frowned at the Novice.
"You have a Compiler of Source. What now can prevent you from becoming
a Writer of Programs?"
the Novice fidgeted nervously and presented his Compiler of Source to
the Master.
"How is this used?" asked the Novice.
"Have you in your possession a Manual of Operation?" the Master asked.
"No," replied the Novice.
the Master instructed the Novice as to where he could find the
Manual of Operation.

Many days later the Novice returned.
"Master," he said, "How is it that I may become a Writer of Programs?"
the Master looked solemly at the Novice.
"Have you in your possession a Compiler of Source Code?" the Master asked.
"Yes," replied the Novice.
"Have you in your possession a Manual of Operation?" the Master asked.
"Yes," replied the Novice.
the Master frowned at the Novice.
"You have a Compiler of Source, and a Manual of Operation. What now can
prevent you from becomming a Writer of Programs?"

At this the Novice fidgeted nervously and presented his Manual of Operations to
the Master.
"How is this used?" asked the Novice.
the Master closed his eyes, and heaved a great sigh.
the Master sent the Novice on a quest to the School of Elementary.

Many years later the Novice returned.
"Master," he said, "How is it that I may become a Writer of Programs?"
the Master looked solemly at the Novice.
"Have you in your possession a Compiler of Source Code, a Manual of Operation
and an Education of Elementary?" the Master asked.
"Yes," replied the Novice.
the Master frowned at the Novice.
"What then can prevent you from becomming a Writer of Programs?"

the Novice fidgeted nervously. He looked around but could find nothing to
present to the Master.
the Master smiled at the Novice.
"I see what problem plagues you." said the Master.
"Oh great master, please tell me." asked the Novice.

the Master turned the Novice toward the door, and with a supportive hand on his
shoulder said, "Go young Novice, and Read The Freaking Manual."

And so the Novice became enlightened.

Dr. Chill wins the Internet for posting that.
You mean an Internet.
Do you mean that as a prize I get the Internet or ...?
No, you get an Internet. In the mean time, here's a cookie: Q0=c3RyaW5nc3RyZWFt
I got it from google.co.uk, but you can have it. I can get more.
Still confused, can't accept anymore cookies I am still bloated from all the others that where shoved down my throat.
I'll rephrase it, you win 1 Internets.
This is why r/l is such a bad game. All the quests suck and the NPCs have such lackluster conversation. Graphics aren't even that great.
So I get an Internet ... as in my own Internet?
Why?... Don“t You love Your Intranet?

Agreed.
And the combat system is BS, people can just one shot you with a gun and you can't do anything. And you can't even kill animals for experience...****ing wimpy mobs...
Christ, DrChill. Lurk some moar.

In any case, http://www.canonical.org/~kragen/tao-of-programming.html
