Computer programmers never die, they just get lost in the processing.

Computer programs expand so as to fill the core available.

COMPUTER SCIENCE:
        1) A study akin to numerology and astrology, but lacking the
           precision of the former and the success of the latter.
        2) The protracted value analysis of algorithms.
        3) The costly enumeration of the obvious.
        4) The boring art of coping with a large number of trivialities.
        5) Tautology harnessed in the service of Man at the speed of light.
        6) The Post-Turing decline in formal systems theory.

Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about
telescopes.
                -- Edsger W. Dijkstra

Computer Science is the only discipline in which we view
adding a new wing to a building as being maintenance
                -- Jim Horning

Computers are not intelligent.  They only think they are.

Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable.
Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable.
                -- Gilb

Computers are useless.  They can only give you answers.
                -- Pablo Picasso

Computers don't actually think.
        You just think they think.
                (We think.)

Conceit causes more conversation than wit.
                -- LaRouchefoucauld
