A signature block ( often abbreviated as signature, sig block, sig file,. sig, dot sig, siggy, or just sig ) is a block of text automatically appended at the bottom of an e-mail message, Usenet article, or forum post.

Note that a sig block is not the same as a digital signature.

This keeps the overall size of the message down, conserving bandwidth as well as the time required to read the message, and ensures that eighty-column terminals can display the sig block properly.

The formatting of the sig block is prescribed somewhat more firmly: it should be displayed as plain text in a fixed-width font ( no HTML, images, or other rich text ), and must be delimited from the body of the message by a single line consisting of exactly two hyphens, followed by a space, followed by the end of line ( i. e., ).

This latter prescription, which goes by many names, including " sig dashes ", " signature cut line ", " sig-marker ", " sig separator " and " signature delimiter ", allows software to automatically mark or remove the sig block as the receiver desires.

This was actually used for generating geographically-correct maps of Usenet links on a plotter ; however, it became traditional to refer to this as one's ICBM address or missile address, and some people include it in their sig block with that name ( but a real missile address would include target elevation ).

The major exceptions are languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean where Chinese characters used and words are often translated rather than transliterated ; for example, " Sabbath " is translated as "( peaceful ) rest day " ( 安息日, Mandarin: ān xī rì, Japanese an soku jitsu, Korean an sig il ) rather than transliterated.

This is not true, and may stem from a false friend in the phrase " att engagera sig i någon ".

There is only one reflexive pronoun in Icelandic and that is the word sig.

It is of Germanic origin ( sig -, that is, " victory ", cf.

* In the oblique case forms of the 1st and 2nd person pronouns and of reflexive pronouns, the ei / ej diphthong is spelled ig in Danish, but eg in Norwegian: mig, dig, sig vs meg, deg, seg.

Historically, mindes is a contraction of the active forms and the reflexive pronoun: hun minder sig (" she reminds herself ") → hun mindes (" she remembers ").

" The present active is " vi ser " ( we see ); the mediopassive ( commonly called passive ) form is historically derived thus: de ser sig (" they see themselves ") → de ses (" they are seen " or " they see themselves / see each other ").

# Autocausative: " Han glædes over sin gave " (" He gets / is happy with his gift "), from " Han glæder sig over sin gave ".

Lake Taymyr is teeming with many kinds of fish typical of cold Arctic waters, like loach, sig, and muksun.

When Helga twelve years later writes the book Mor gifter sig you can see how Helga despises the father when he is portrayed to think that he is too good to marry the woman and instead pays her to get rid of her.

In a 19th-century work, Paul Henri Mallet and Walter Scott write that the " fen " element of Fensalir " may also be made to sig the watery deep, or the sea.

Designs commonly include the words " Aryan Brotherhood ", " AB ", SS, 666, sig runes, shamrocks, and other Nazi symbolism and Celtic iconography.

A road block to desirable local or borough improvements, heretofore dependent on the pocketbook vote of taxpayers and hence a drag on progress, is removed by making these a charge against the whole city instead of an assessment paid by those immediately affected.

At the entrance side of the shelter, each roof beam is rested on the inside 4 inches of the block wall.

These blocks are sold in various sizes so it seldom is necessary to cut a block to fit.

Ventilation is provided in a concrete block basement shelter by vents in the wall and by the open entrance.

In other instances where there is no automatic block signaling, the distant has only green and yellow aspects.

Another thing that must be taken into consideration is the volume of the area between the top of the piston and the top of the cylinder block when the piston is in top dead center position.

The only way to determine the final combustion chamber volume when such pistons are used is by measuring it with liquid while the cylinder head is bolted to the cylinder block and the piston is in top dead center position.

Fig. 1 is a simplified block diagram of the ultraviolet microscopy system developed at the Medical Electronics Center of Rockefeller Institute.

Also available is a slitter which `` peels '' the inside of a folded block of foam and can be used to slit continuous sheets up to 300 yd. in length, down to 1/16 in. thick.

A mathematical block diagram for the leveling system is shown in Fig. 7-2.

Look Jed, this is an open and shut case and I have to relieve my men at the road block soon.

When a man invests a block of his years at a university without gaining the coveted promotion, not only is he faced with the problem of starting over but there is also a certain depreciation in the market value of his services.

He is now my block gapt.

An American in Paris is scored for 3 flutes ( 3rd doubling on piccolo ), 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets in B flat, bass clarinet in B flat, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in F, 3 trumpets in B flat, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, triangle, wood block, cymbals, low and high tom-toms, xylophone, glockenspiel, celesta, 4 taxi horns resembling the pitches A, B, C and D, alto saxophone / soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone / soprano saxophone / alto saxophone, baritone saxophone / soprano saxophone / alto saxophone, and strings.

Strictly speaking, the AES standard is a variant of Rijndael where the block size is restricted to 128 bits.

AES is a variant of Rijndael which has a fixed block size of 128 bits, and a key size of 128, 192, or 256 bits.

By contrast, the Rijndael specification per se is specified with block and key sizes that may be any multiple of 32 bits, both with a minimum of 128 and a maximum of 256 bits.

For a 256-bit block, the first row is unchanged and the shifting for the second, third and fourth row is 1 byte, 3 bytes and 4 bytes respectively — this change only applies for the Rijndael cipher when used with a 256-bit block, as AES does not use 256-bit blocks.

The disadvantage of employing the medieval dagger in this manner was that it could easily be blocked by a variety of techniques, most notably by a block with the weaponless arm while simultaneously attacking with a weapon held in the right hand.

Limestone was also a very popular building block in the Middle Ages in the areas where it occurred, since it is hard, durable, and commonly occurs in easily accessible surface exposures.

This could easily be blocked by the Greek hoplites, despite the overwhelming numbers of Persians ; furthermore, to prevent the Persians bypassing Thermopylae by sea, the Athenian and allied navies could block the straits of Artemisium.

While it's obvious that a block was a success when the attacker is roofed, a block that consistently forces the attacker away from his or her ' power ' or preferred attack into a more easily controlled shot by the defense is also a highly successful block.

It required a strong arm and wrist, was very slow to recover if the initial thrust missed its mark, and was easily parried by a soldier who was trained to expect it, thus exposing the German soldier to a return thrust which he could not easily block or parry.

The generator also powers the main engine's block and fuel system heaters, so the main engine can be started easily right before departure if the APU is allowed to run for a period beforehand.

A distinguishing characteristic of the new town plan was unusually wide streets, reportedly to prevent a fire in one block from easily spreading to another.

: Obviously, the technique is easily generalized to any block cipher ; AES has been suggested ( Young and Yung, op cit, sect 3. 5. 1 ).

Burgoyne's decision to move the army over land via Fort Anne was a curious one, for it contradicted his own earlier commentaries on planning the expedition, in which he presciently observed that defenders could easily block the route.

But block codes rely on more dimensions which cannot easily be visualized.

The knowledge has what is called a “ Limited Capacity ”, meaning there is only a certain amount of information that can be stored and it is only easily accessible for a small window of time after it has been processed, with a recall time block of roughly fifteen seconds to one minute.

These messages are easily blocked by firewalls configured to block packets to the NetBIOS ports 135-139 and 445 as well as unsolicited UDP packets to ports above 1024.

The chalk marks can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth, a sponge or a special blackboard eraser consisting of a block of wood covered by a felt pad.

The nomination easily carried before Crittenden's friends could block it.

The advantage of this method is that polymers and block copolymers of well-defined molecular weight can be easily prepared.

The interference fit is done by boring the cylinder ( between 3 to 6 thousandths of an inch ) smaller than the sleeve being installed, then heating the engine block and while hot, the cold sleeve can be inserted easily.

This compression function is easily invertible if the data block is known, i. e. given the data block on which it acted and the output of the compression function, one can compute that state that went in.

Moving the sprite vertically is achieved by block moving ( or rotating ) the definition of its glyph in memory which is quite fast in 6502 machine language, even though the 6502 lacks a block-move instruction like the 8080, because the sprite is exactly 128 or 256 bytes long and so the indexing can be easily accommodated in a byte-wide register on the 6502.

This was made known for the purpose of protecting humanity from another Geduld phenomenon, as the gravitational warping effects of the vital guarders could easily block the advancing Geduld phenomenon.
