It was based on a popular italian motto, extracted from the "Promessi Sposi",
by Alessandro Manzoni. Don Abbondio, reading a booklet,
say "Carneade: chi era costui?". It can be traslate in:
"Carneade: who was this one?" (an obscure medieval philosopher?)
May be, you have a similar motto in german. We use it anytimes we found
some unkown character.

A network-based help system. Only Bill Gates has enough resource to
