"Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all." --John Maynard Keynes Since when is "public safety" the root password to the Constitution? In heaven the police are British, the mechanics are German, the cooks
are French, the lovers are Italian and the Swiss organize the place. I gave food to the poor; they called me a saint. I asked why they had no food; they called me a Communist. Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. it's the only thing that ever has. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Ghandi Give a man a fish, and he owes you a fish. Teach a man to fish, and you give up your monopoly on fisheries. Patriotisim means protecting core values during difficult times, not pasting a flag on your SUV and repealing the Bill of Rights. In a hundred-mile march, ninety is about the halfway point. You want the .sig? You can't handle the .sig! "Under Capitalism, man exploits man. Under Communism, it's the
other way around" The mouse has pretty good functinoality. For everything else, there's Perl. This message brought to you by the letter pi and the number pi. "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance" - Derek
Bok "Your superior intellect is no match for our puny weapons!" "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful." -- Seneca When encryption is outlawed, only the outlaws will have ATM machines... It is not unpatriotic to exercise your rights and it is un-American
to suggest otherwise. Vote for people who live in this world, and not the one they grew up in. Liberty is blind, but she has sophisticated listening devices. I'm writing a book ... I've got the page numbers done. Just because there are shades of gray, it doesn't mean we can't tell black from white."If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate." If knowledge is power, and power is sexy, then why am I still single?? If it's supposed to move and doesn't, use WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. slashdot - the only place where you can put in your two cents, and always expect some change back... "Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next How do I set my Laser printer to "Stun"? One if by LAN, 2 if by C, 3 if by ERR. Talk is cheap - Because supply exceeds demand.

| The .sig Museum |
| Way back when, in the grand old days of UNIX, it became popular to include a file called ".sig", which held your "signature". It would be included with every outgoing email, newsgroup post, etc. At first the .sig contained useful information -- maybe your title, address, etc. But quickly enough .sigs evolved (devolved?) into personal billboards, a bit of electronic grafitti in which you could show off your wit. I've started to collect the more interesting ones I see. No attempt has been made for proper attribution... sorry. |
