Freebsd Fortunes 5

Reach into the thoughts of friends,
And find they do not know your name.
Squeeze the teddy bear too tight,
And watch the feathers burst the seams.
Touch the stained glass with your cheek,
And feel its chill upon your blood.
Hold a candle to the night,
And see the darkness bend the flame.
Tear the mask of peace from God,
And hear the roar of souls in hell.
Pluck a rose in name of love,
And watch the petals curl and wilt.
Lean upon the western wind,
And know you are alone.
                -- Dru Mims

Reading is thinking with someone else's head instead of one's own.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Reagan can't act either.

Real computer scientists despise the idea of actual hardware.  Hardware has
limitations, software doesn't.  It's a real shame that Turing machines are
so poor at I/O.

Real computer scientists don't write code.  They occasionally tinker with
`programming systems', but those are so high level that they hardly count
(and rarely count accurately; precision is for applications).

Real computer scientists like having a computer on their desk, else how
could they read their mail?

Real computer scientists only write specs for languages that might run on
future hardware.  Nobody trusts them to write specs for anything homo sapiens
will ever be able to fit on a single planet.

Real programmers admire ADA for its overwhelming aesthetic value but they
find it difficult to actually program in it, as it is much too large to
implement.  Most computer scientists don't notice this because they are
still arguing over what else to add to ADA.
