Posted on 26 August 2008 by admin

  1. An amateur built the ark and a team of engineers built the Titanic. That basically sums up why I don't trust Microsoft products.
  2. Failure is not an option -- it comes bundled with Windows.
  3. Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
  4. Flash is a program built for and by retarded cats
  5. "I invented it, Bill made it famous."

  6. "Coding styles are like assholes, everyone has one and no one likes anyone elses."
    Eric Warmenhoven
  7. "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it."

    Seymore Cray (on virtual memory)
  10. "Software Engineering is that part of Computer Science which is too difficult for the Computer Scientist."
    F. L. Bauer
  11. "The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents."
    Nathaniel Borenstein
  12. "The ultimate metric that I would like to propose for user friendliness is quite simple: if this system was a person, how long would it take before you punched it in the nose?"
    Tom Carey
  13. "Writing in C or C++ is like running a chain saw with all the safety guards removed."
    Bob Gray
