Self Importance

Do you know what self-importance is? Well, sure you remember    
       what Carlos wrote about it. But what is it concerning virtual   
       reality? Yes, I know, virtual is "separate" too. That is,
       words differ. But does the meaning? No, it doesn't. So, what
       can you do to soothe your self-importance? One way is to make
       something useful. But if you can't, there's a always second    
       way - just get something useful and make others think that    
       you've made it more useful than it was before. I'll show you    
       how. First of all, find a program that is really useful, but    
       which development was stopped long time ago. It's even better    
       if it is that useful, so it has it's own life in this virtual    
       world. Like there are some enthusiasts who still release    
       updates for it. It's even better if this program had some    
       bugs and disandvantages, and there are enthusiasts which are    
       that devoted, so they have really fixed some of them without    
       having original sources and even without the support from the    
       authors. Note, that's an important point - that case you have    
       much less things left to do. So you get the program they've    
       released, grab the ResourceHacker (or Restorator, or some    
       other tool of a kind that you've used before) and make some    
       changes. You don't like it's default buttons? You think    
       you've downloaded a set that suits better here? Just load it    
       up to ResourceHacker and you have it changed in a twinkle of    
       an eye. Make some other cosmetic changes: add your name or a    
       magnifying glass somethere. When you've done with it, there's    
       time to make more important changes - you need to throw out    
       something. &n bsp; Remember,   if   the re's   something you don't    
       understand, it's not because you're so ignorant, it's just no    
       worth at all. "Daddy, daddy, what's Linux? - Get lost, kid,    
       it's just a combination of Linus and Tux." Just cut it out,    
       noone use it. Hm-m-m. What's Amiga? Oh, sure, it'a a female    
       Amigo! Who cares anyway, it's not the right place for it. Cut    
       it out! Anyone have heard about anything, but Win? Louder,    
       louder! I can't hear! Ah, you did. Well, you're not asked.    
       Noone else answers,   so I think anything else can be cut out    
       too. Next is to choose the right name for your "release".    
       Surely, the enthusiasts (you remember, it's them who has done    
       all the work?) used the original name and added something to    
       it in order to distinguish their work on the program. All you    
       have to do is just change this "tail". Replace it with "PRO",    
       for example. Everyone knows that only cool people use "PRO"    
       in their programs, so if you do, you're kewl with no doubt.    
       And don't forget to give credits for the enthusiasts', so    
       they couldn't say you've ripped their work - we know you    
       haven't, you've just improved theirs. And last but not the    
       least, don't mention the changes you have made. You may hide    
       them under phrases like "some major improvements" though, but    
       don't write exactly what you did, so noone could check it up.    
       Now just pack it and upload somewhere, and you may enjoy the    
       growth of your pride and self-importance. But... can you    
       remember the words of Don Juan?..
