Lots of editing for a new article.Amandarandom 09:36, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

This smells a lot like self-promotion. A "law" that was formulated today on a fairly obscure(?) forum (correct me if I'm wrong) & we already get an article about it. I don't think we really need an article unless the term becomes at least relatively widespread. (According to Wikipedia, Hack's Law is "an empirical relationship between the length of streams and the area of their basins". So there.)

Why is this here? It sounds totally made up to me. "hi, I can make a law". Like Weaseloid, my first reaction was to Google. There *is* a hack's law, and it's got nothing to do with the internet, but with maths.--Sun mowse.pngEn attendant Godot"«Her intense and pure religiousness took the form of her having equal faith in the existence of another world and in the impossibility of comprehending it in terms of earthly life.

Wow... I must be slower than usual this morning. I second, or third, or whatever nomination for deletion. The Foxhole Atheist 10:00, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
Toast's law of the internet: 95% of all internet laws are fake and should be deleted.   .  So, that's the tune they play on their fascist banjos 10:04, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
I always figured an "internet law" was a law stating how much you could download at any given time without getting a ticket. Or perhaps that you had to be 36 years old with two major credit cards to view porn (or, you know, your typical 13 year old hacker).--Sun mowse.pngEn attendant Godot"«Her intense and pure religiousness took the form of her having equal faith in the existence of another world and in the impossibility of comprehending it in terms of earthly life.
