I Am the Law
Favorites from the List of eponymous laws:
- Poe’s Law — Without a blatant indicator such as a smiley, it is impossible to tell the difference between religious Fundamentalism and a parody thereof.
- Rothbard’s law — everyone specializes in his own area of weakness.
- Wirth’s law — Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.
- Zawinski’s law — Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can. [jwz was one of the original Netscape employees. His blog comes highly recommended, because he complains a lot, and he has good musical taste. Mmmmm. Sweet, buttery music.]
Shall we propose Palin’s Law? Behind every maverick who, only 8 years ago, most moderates were fairly supportive of, is a party of religious-nut Good Old Boys who’ll do their durndest to keep dragging him back to pander to people just like themselves, at the expense of, oh, the rest of the country. Yee haw, git-r-done.
