Sex lies and Bill Gates
Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software. - Arthur C. Clarke
"Memory is like an orgasm. It's a lot better if you don't have to fake it." - Seymore Cray (on virtual memory) "
Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life." - Michael Sinz
"Life would be so much easier if we only had the source code."
"You know you're a geek when... You try to shoo a fly away from the monitor with your cursor. That just happened to me. It was scary." - Juuso Heimonen
"Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more user-friendly... Their best approach, so far, has been to take all the old brochures, and stamp the words, 'user-friendly' on the cover" - Bill Gates
"Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature."
"Humans are the best value in computers - where else can you get a non-linear computer weighing only about 160lbs, having a billion binary decision elements, that can be mass-produced by unskilled labour?"
