Unix: You think it won't work, but if you find the right wizard, he can make it work.
Macintosh: You think it will work, but it won't.
PC/Windows: You think it won't work, and it won't.''

"Unix is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity.'' -- Dennis Ritchie, Unix co-creator"

"In a cyberpunkish game I was running, the PC:s were a team of investigative journalists, and one of them was the Ultimate Englishman - completely calm, expressionless and collected, no matter what happened (any relation to real Englishmen is purely coincidental). The first time we played, he was assaulted by a hitman in the basement of a post office, and got kicked in the groin, hard. Not surprisingly, he was stunned for a while, and then the cops arrived to break up the situation. When they tried to question him, he replied : "Terribly sorry, but my genitals have just absorbed a substantial amount of kinetic energy, and I am momentarily incapable of responding to any inquiries.""

"It amazes me how people are quick to make judgements about a person whom they hardly know. Or how entwined we become, when we lower ourselves to the level of that person in regards to their bad attitude and immaturity. I say if you find them a fool, leave them a fool. If you react in anger, you often make the best idotic speech of all; therefore, damaging your own reputation when in fact, that really isn't portraying the real you. If you confront a person who strives for power and thrives on manipulation, walk away with a smile upon your face, and leave them the fool. Many may call this arrogance, but it is because of their ignorance that they remain blind, for as they quickly judge others for their actions, they often forget to judge theirs [their own]. To be a leader, you must first learn how to follow. A bad reputation is the first to placed on a pedistal."

~ Willow Dro'han, Founder of Cargonia ~

"You call yourself honourable. What have you done that has been deemed honourable? Those who are quick to say they are honourable, are indeed not. Let others understand that of you. Your actions surely speak for themselves."

~ King Brutanious, First Born to Willow Dro'han ~

"Aye, so you are Sir Honourable? If others claim you are honourable, I proclaim to honour thee! Honour is earned, not a right born to you because of your class, race or affiliations with others who are honourable. Honour is recognized, not assumed. Understand the difference."

~ King Willow Dro'han, Founder of Cargonia ~

Murphy's Laws of Combat:

Whatever can go wrong will go wrong

If it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid

If the enemy is in range, so are you.

Incoming fire has the right of way.

Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.

There is always a way, and it usually doesn't work.

The problem with the easy way out is that it has already been mined.

Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.

The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:
1. when you're ready for them.
2. when you're not ready for them.

Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.

If you can't remember, then the claymore IS pointed at you.

The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.

A "sucking chest wound" is nature's way of telling you to slow down.

If your attack is going well, then it's an ambush.

Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.

Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.

If you build yourself a bunker that's tough for the enemy to get into quickly, then you won't be able to get out of it quickly either.

Never share a foxhole with anyone braver thanyourself.

If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone.

When you've secured the area, don't forget to tell the enemy.

Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.

Friendly fire isn't.

If the sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.

Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down, never stay awake when you can sleep.

The most dangerous thing in the world is a second lieutenant with a map and a compass.

There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.

A grenade with a seven second fuse will always burn down in four seconds.

Remember, a retreating enemy is probably just falling back and regrouping.

If at first you don't succeed call in an air-strike.

Exceptions prove the rule, and destroy the battle plan.

Everything always works in your HQ, everything always fails in the colonel's HQ.

The enemy never watches until you make a mistake.

One enemy soldier is never enough, but two is entirely too many.

A clean (and dry) set of BDU's is a magnet for mud and rain.

Whenever you have plenty of ammo, you never miss. Whenever you are low on ammo, you can't hit the broad side of a barn.

The more a weapon costs, the farther you will have to send it away to be repaired.

Field experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Interchangeable parts aren't.

No matter which way you have to march, its always uphill.

If enough data is collected, a board of inquiry can prove ANYTHING.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. (in boot camp)
The one item you need is always in short supply.

The worse the weather, the more you are required to be out in it.

The complexity of a weapon is inversely proportional to the IQ of the weapon's operator.

Airstrikes always overshoot the target, artillery always falls short.

When reviewing the radio frequencies that you just wrote down, the most important ones are always illegible.

Those who hesitate under fire usually do not end up KIA or WIA.

The tough part about being an officer is that the troops don't know what they want, but they know for certain what they DON'T want.

To steal information from a person is called plagiarism. To steal information from the enemy is called gathering intelligence.

The weapon that usually jams when you need it the most is the M60.

The perfect officer for the job will transfer in the day after that billet is filled by someone else.

When you have sufficient supplies & ammo, the enemy takes 2 weeks to attack. When you are low on supplies & ammo the enemy decides to attack that night.

The newest and least experienced soldier will usually win the Congressional Medal Of Honor.

A Purple Heart just goes to prove that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive.

Murphy was a grunt.

WHOOOOOOOO MURPHY!

Never stick your noggin out of cover in the same place twice in a row.

Proven paintball mistake, it was the way i got killed the first time i played.
