Signature Discussion IV

[Joecoolyo]

I have zero complaints with it.

I like changing my appearance every once in a while.

Go for it.

Change your sig whenever you feel like.

If you want my opinion it's stale Go for a change!

Welp, it looks like the overwhelming opinion if for change, so I will do so

Now, I need to think of something clever...

 

[Ajidica]

Perhaps Neven's Converse of Clarke's Law? Any sufficiantly developed magic is indistinguishable from technology.

 

[Brian Shanahan]

A Discworld quote is always distingusihing.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Actually, not too long ago, I remember taillesskangaru posted something that was very sig worthy.

Is it ok that I quote it tailless?

EDIT: Though I am liking that converse law Ajidica, I think I'll add that one too

 

[W|M]

Mine was changed to reflect recent events.

 

[Ajidica]

Here are all of Niven's Laws:

Niven's Law is also a term given to the converse of Clarke's third law, so Niven's Law reads: "Any sufficiently rigorously defined magic is indistinguishable from technology."

If the universe of discourse permits the possibility of time travel and of changing the past, then no time machine will be invented in that universe.

Drawn from Known Space: The Future Worlds of Larry Niven

1.
a.Never throw crap at an armed man.
b.Never stand next to someone who is throwing crap at an armed man.
2.Never fire a laser at a mirror.
3.Mother Nature doesn't care if you're having fun.
4.F × S = k. The product of Freedom and Security is a constant. To gain more freedom of thought and/or action, you must give up some security, and vice versa
5.Psi and/or magical powers, if real, are nearly useless.
6.It is easier to destroy than create.
7.Any fool can predict the past.
8.History never repeats itself.
9.Ethics change with technology.
10.Anarchy is the least stable of social structures. It falls apart at a touch.
11.There is a time and place for tact.
12.The ways of being human are bounded but infinite.
13.The world's dullest subjects, in order:
a.Somebody else's diet.
b.How to make money for a worthy cause.
c.Special Interest Liberation.
14.The only universal message in science fiction: There exist minds that think as well as you do, but differently.
Niven's corollary: The gene-tampered turkey you're talking to isn't necessarily one of them.
15.Fuzzy Pink Niven's Law: Never waste calories.
16.There is no cause so right that one cannot find a fool following it.
in variant form in Fallen Angels as "Niven's Law: No cause is so noble that it won't attract fuggheads."[3]
17.No technique works if it isn't used.
18.Not responsible for advice not taken.
19.Old age is not for sissies.

I may have to add 16 to my sig.

 

[Mise]

EDIT: doh, delete pls!

 

[Incodcito]

The burden of empire is proving tiresome. Should I abdicate and remove my signature, or stay and crush the revolts emerging in the capital?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Crushing the revolts would make for an interesting news ticker.

 

[Tee Kay]

Actually, not too long ago, I remember taillesskangaru posted something that was very sig worthy.

Is it ok that I quote it tailless?

Oh you don't need my permission.

(softly to himself) yes yes I'm quotable! I'm quotable!

 

[Incodcito]

Crushing the revolts would make for an interesting news ticker.

I blamed the foreign press, Zionists, and extremists. Hopefully that works.

 

[Dachs]

Niven's Eighth Law is my favorite

 

[Joecoolyo]

Oh you don't need my permission.

(softly to himself) yes yes I'm quotable! I'm quotable!

Done

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I blamed the foreign press, Zionists, and extremists. Hopefully that works.

Nah, that's just your usual autocrat mindset. You need to go the extra mile, just like Gaddafi's...um...airshow.

 

[Incodcito]

Nah, that's just your usual autocrat mindset. You need to go the extra mile, just like Gaddafi's...um...airshow.

I suppose I can unless the Imperial Guard with its chemical weapons stockpile.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

That's the spirit!

 

[Incodcito]

That's the spirit!

Didn't work, seems like I need to buy some Raid to take out the protesters. They seem to avoid the Chemical weapon hotels deployed by my loyal guards.

 

[madviking]

More random quotes!

 

[bhsup]

/me hugs mother country. Rule Britannia!
