Freebsd Fortunes 3

FORTRAN is a good example of a language
which is easier to parse using ad hoc techniques.
                -- D. Gries
                [What's good about it?  Ed.]

FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.

FORTRAN is not a flower but a weed -- it is hardy,
occasionally blooms, and grows in every computer.
                -- A.J. Perlis

FORTRAN is the language of Powerful Computers.
                -- Steven Feiner

FORTRAN rots the brain.
                -- John McQuillin

FORTRAN, "the infantile disorder", by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly
inadequate for whatever computer application you have in mind today: it is
too clumsy, too risky, and too expensive to use.
                -- Edsger W. Dijkstra, SIGPLAN Notices, Volume 17, Number 5

[FORTRAN] will persist for some time --
probably for at least the next decade.
                -- T. Cheatham

Fortunate is he for whom the belle toils.

Fortunately, the responsibility for providing evidence is on the part of
the person making the claim, not the critic.  It is not the responsibility
of UFO skeptics to prove that a UFO has never existed, nor is it the
responsibility of paranormal-health-claims skeptics to prove that crystals
or colored lights never healed anyone.  The skeptic's role is to point out
claims that are not adequately supported by acceptable evidence and to
provide plausible alternative explanations that are more in keeping with
the accepted body of scientific evidence.
                -- Thomas L. Creed, The Skeptical Inquirer, Vol. XII,
                   No. 2, pg. 215

Fortune and love befriend the bold.
                -- Ovid
