"Results eventually reach a point at which a finer mesh no longer yields an appreciable difference. This type of convergence study helps generate accurate solutions with meshes that are sufficiently dense and yet not overly demanding of computer resources."

"Optimism is an occupational hazard of programming; feedback is the treatment."

"If you don't want to be replaced by a computer, don't act like one."

"Any non-trivial program contains at least one error."

"Any given program, once deployed, is already obsolete."

"If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with…"

"Optimization hinders evolution."

"Better to be a geek than an idiot."

"There is no programming language–no matter how structured–that will prevent programmers from making bad programs."

"Technology is always evolving, and companies.. not just search companies.. can't be afraid to take advantage of change."

"Upwards of two hundred species.. mostly of the large, slow-breeding variety.. are becoming extinct here every day because more and more of the earth's carrying capacity is systematically being converted into human carrying capacity. These species are being burnt out,…"

"One man's constant is another man's variable."

"First, solve the problem. Then, write the code."

"Unix was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things."

"I think Microsoft named .Net so it wouldn’t show up in a Unix directory listing."

"When you’re young, you look at television and think, there’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people…"

"Worth noting: running 'reboot -h' does NOT produce a helpful usage message."

"It would take a lot of time and effort (to repair the computers). And they can't run (programs and games) kids are interested in today. They're not even on the Internet. We wouldn't be offering them much of a carrot."

"Technology: No Place for Wimps!"

"We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true."

"Perhaps if we wrote programs from childhood on, as adults we'd be able to read them."

"One can only display complex information in the mind. Like seeing, movement or flow or alteration of view is more important than the static picture, no matter how lovely."

"Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."

"Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

"True innovation often comes from the small startup who is lean enough to launch a market but lacks the heft to own it."

"I believe that this notion of self-publishing, which is what Blogger and blogging are really about, is the next big wave of human communication. The last big wave was Web activity. Before that one it was e-mail. Instant messaging was…"

"My software never has bugs. It just develops random features."

"'Intel Inside': The world's most widely used warning label."

"Think"

"The medium, or process, of our time - electric technology is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action."

"Yesterday it worked Today it is not working Windows is like that"

"It was a pivotal moment in the history of computers and the history of advertising."

"I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user."

"In software systems, it is often the early bird that makes the worm."

"Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it."

"The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn…"

"We know by now that if we make technology the predestined force in our lives, man will walk to the measure of its demands. We know how leveling that influence can be, how easy it is to computerize man and…"

"Every program is a part of some other program and rarely fits."

"Today is a... digital incarnation of Oz - the Internet - we are a motley group of fools from lions to scarecrows, learning from each other, making and taking responsibility for our decisions, and having fun as we skip down…"

"I think Amazon is the preeminent pioneer in building a new way of doing commerce: personalized, database-driven commerce, where the big value is not in the purchase fulfillment, but in knowing as much about a customer base of ten or…"

"But they are useless. They can only give you answers."

"Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer."

"The term reboot comes from the middle age (before computers). Horses who stopped in mid-stride required a boot to the rear to start again. Thus the term to rear-boot, later abbreviated into reboot."
