Linux Computers

I *knew* I had some reason for not logging you off... If I could just
remember what it was.

I am a computer. I am dumber than any human and smarter than any administrator.

I am NOMAD!

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the demigodic party.
                -- Dennis Ritchie

I am professionally trained in computer science, which is to say
(in all seriousness) that I am extremely poorly educated.
                -- Joseph Weizenbaum, "Computer Power and Human Reason"

I am the wandering glitch -- catch me if you can.

I asked the engineer who designed the communication terminal's keyboards
why these were not manufactured in a central facility, in view of the
small number needed [1 per month] in his factory.  He explained that this
would be contrary to the political concept of local self-sufficiency.
Therefore, each factory needing keyboards, no matter how few, manufactures
them completely, even molding the keypads.
                -- Isaac Auerbach, IEEE "Computer", Nov. 1979

I bet the human brain is a kludge.
                -- Marvin Minsky

I came, I saw, I deleted all your files.

I cannot conceive that anybody will require multiplications at the rate
of 40,000 or even 4,000 per hour ...
                -- F. H. Wales (1936)
