– Computer Proverbs –<\/b><\/p>\n
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.<\/strong> A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.<\/strong> Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don’t let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.<\/strong> Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.<\/strong> The computer was born to solve problems that did not exist before.<\/strong> There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It’s a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you ‘play’ with them!<\/strong> Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.<\/strong> Software is like entropy: It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing, and obeys the Second Law of Thermodynamics; i.e., it always increases.<\/strong> The question of whether computers can think is just like the question of whether submarines can swim.<\/strong> The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.<\/strong> All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can’t get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer.<\/strong> User, n. The word computer professionals use when they mean “idiot.”<\/strong> If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it’s done.<\/strong> Database: the information you lose when your memory crashes.<\/strong> A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history – with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.<\/strong> If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.<\/strong> Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.<\/strong> Man is the best computer we can put aboard a spacecraft… and the only one that can be mass produced with unskilled labor.<\/strong> The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad!<\/strong> It’s hardware that makes a machine fast. It’s software that makes a fast machine slow.<\/strong> Unix was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.<\/strong> Unix is simple. It just takes a genius to understand its simplicity.<\/strong> Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.<\/strong> Software is a gas; it expands to fill its container.<\/strong> Standards are always out of date. That’s what makes them standards.<\/strong> Physics is the universe’s operating system.<\/strong> Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living.<\/strong> Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done.<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" – Computer Proverbs – I do not fear computers.
