at karma 20.50..woot..oh wait I don't feel any different It's like going from level 14 to 15 on t61..one more tedious bump to max bump!
or empty calories. Emoticons are overrated and overused.

wonders
if sartan feels that way cause he can't use the cool ones yet?
even in my instant messager(where I have thousands potentiall) I have similies disabled.
it just takes more time to use the mouse to choose one then it does to type them, 
gah it forces the issue
booo 
again! curses
I prefer bumps to karma anyway

yup that's one of the main reasons..in perl you do a lot of :
ackage..and the : P turns into smilies
