It's the law

...or maybe it could be.

The Edge asks the question--what laws of life ought to be named after you (you know, like Kepler and Faraday and Murphy):

Bruce Sterling

Sterling's Law of Ubiquitous Computation

First, your home is a constant, while the Net is a place you go; then the Net becomes a constant while your home is a place you go.

Sterling's Corollary to Clarke's Law

Any sufficiently advanced garbage is indistinguishable from magic.

Marvin Minsky

Minsky's First Law

Words should be your servants, not your masters.

Minksy's Second Law

Don't just do something. Stand there.

Mike Godwin

Godwin 's Law

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

Andy Clark

Clark's Law

Everything leaks.
