Hello everybody! I have yet another question. How do you guys make all of those cool sigs that say your name on it? Iv always wanted to make one but I ive never knew how to do it.

The best results are achieved with something besides the toy Paint program that comes with Windows.

Download The GiMP, The Gnu Image Manipulation Program, if you don't have Photoshop. It's a rough equivelant, but some of the tools are in different places.

Then go to images.google.com and get some source images that you like.

If you want download some fancy new fonts. (Google)

Then put it all together in Photoshop (The GiMP), making effects and using filters to suit your tastes.

The sky's the limit! (well, you have to keep it PG, and keep it a logical size.

)

Well, except for the naked chicks part. Boy, 2 naked chicks jokes in the last week

disclaimer: I was just kidding. Triton is right, as always

I, for one, welcome our new circulararity overlords.

reminds me of schrodinger's cat box thought puzzle!

Here's SchrÃ¶dinger's (theoretical) experiment: We place a living cat into a steel chamber, along with a device containing a vial of hydrocyanic acid. There is, in the chamber, a very small amount of a radioactive substance. If even a single atom of the substance decays during the test period, a relay mechanism will trip a hammer, which will, in turn, break the vial and kill the cat. The observer cannot know whether or not an atom of the substance has decayed, and consequently, cannot know whether the vial has been broken, the hydrocyanic acid released, and the cat killed. Since we cannot know, the cat is both dead and alive according to quantum law, in a superposition of states. It is only when we break open the box and learn the condition of the cat that the superposition is lost, and the cat becomes one or the other (dead or alive). This situation is sometimes called quantum indeterminacy or the observer's paradox: the observation or measurement itself affects an outcome, so that it can never be known what the outcome would have been if it were not observed.

lol quantum physics and such!

kind of like Heisengberg's Uncertainty principle

.....

which is used in making quantum computers, ya know!

pro sigs, naked chicks, quantum physics, it almost rhymes!

o' brave new world that hath such people in it!

You guys are talking about naked chicks without me? For shame.

I modified this code to get mine. Then I hosted it on my server. I used ms paint to do the background image.

Ive got a book on quantam physics....

its bloody confusing

each time i read it i understand a little more but i get even more confused
