Re: Logo for the site?

I have some ideas for the obligatory latin motto that could go under
the logo:

1) A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi (between a rock and a hard
place)
2) Aut disce aut discede (either learn, or leave)
3) In omnia paratus (prepared for anything)
4) Melius tarde, quam nunquam (better late than never)
5) Nam et ipsa scientia potestas es (knowledge is power)
6) Necessitatis non habet legem (necessity knows no authority)
7) Nolite id cogere, cape malleum majorem (don't force things; use a
bigger hammer)
8) Omne initium est difficile (every beginning is difficult)
9) Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur (anything said in Latin
sounds profound)
10) Quot homines, tot sententiae (there are as many opinions here as
men)
11) Redde Bellware quae sunt Bellwaris (render unto Bellware that
which is Bellware's)
12) Sic faciunt omnes (everyone's doing it)
13) Ubi fumus, ibi ignis (where there's smoke, there's fire)
14) Legerum futui liber (read the effin' manual)

... and my personal favourite that comes into effect when you try to
apply ALT.NET ideas on projects with unfamiliars:

15) Raptus regaliter (royally screwed)

CRC.
