A community is not a community of disembodied spoken statements, in part because the most important aspect of the communication that people have is emotional, and one often communicates emotion not in terms of the text but as a subtext. The physical body is not irrelevant to a human community. The emotional subtext of human communication is crucial to human thought. It isn't a footnote. Too many computer scientists don't understand this.   - David Gelernter

"If something happens, it's going to be sociological rather than technological. We won't see Y2K problems because of computers. It's just not going to happen." — Tom Thompson
"[When employees with full access rights to your corporate data walk away from their active computers for a lunch break, your data at rest becomes available to attackers. Although securing sensitive enterprise data is not a new issue for businesses, some commonly used methods of providing data and network security have proved ineffective.] A lot of businesses try hard and throw money at the issue, ... then they dumb down encryption procedures and password practices." — Tom Vaughan
"The cool kids have co-opted all the neat stuff ? computers, gadgets, video games. There's no such thing as a computer geek anymore." — Tiffany Shlain
"Just as we could have rode into the sunset, along came the Internet, and it tripled the significance of the PC." — Andy Grove
"Oh, so they have internet on computers now!" — Dan Castellaneta

"Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy." — Joseph Campbell
"Mobile computing is moving from the fringe to the mainstream. Portable computers are becoming the primary PC." — Gerry Purdy
"Press the any key ... hmmm where's the any key?" — Dan Castellaneta
"Music fans shouldn't have to install potentially dangerous, privacy intrusive software on their computers just to listen to the music they've legitimately purchased." — Cindy Cohn
"The deal says, you stick to computers and we'll stick to music. This is a simple case. They advertise exclusive music for sale with the Apple logo. They are selling music." — Geoffrey Vos
"What Apple Computers are not doing (when) using the Apple mark is selling software, delivery systems, or anything of the like. They are selling music. And that is in violation of the agreement." — Geoffrey Vos
"Southern Illinois University donated five laptop computers to the Red Cross so that they could go out and register people for FEMA, since so many need help but don't have access to a computer. We are still trying to figure out what kind of housing is needed and trying to help anyone who comes to our agency." — Sharon Hess
"I said I wanted to go back to a time when there (weren't) cars or computers or electricity because you had to work for what you wanted. Everything wasn't handed to you," — Kelly Chandler
"They have computers, and they may have other weapons of mass destruction." — Janet Reno
"Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one." — Bill Gates
"Computers shouldn't be unusable. You don't need to know how to work a telephone switch to make a phone call, or how to use the Hoover Dam to take a shower, or how to work a nuclear-power plant to turn on the lights." — Scott McNealy
"I think the whole Java momentum is making it easier and cheaper to deal with the Java technology in computers, ... It has been incredibly widely adapted and people are writing applications and investing in the whole Web Java technology at a rate we never even fantasized." — Scott McNealy
"Computers belong in the boiler room, appliances belong in your hand," — Scott McNealy
"We want people to know they can drop off their old computers with us for free, rather than just throw them away. We take anything and everything." — Shelly Flood
"We monitor it at home from our computers. If something breaks down, we get a phone call, log on, and we can figure out what the problem is." — George Ferguson
"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home." — Ken Olson
"People use not just personal computers, but telephones, televisions, wireless and other devices with this technology so that minutes will migrate over time. We really don't see a mass substitution or a great big cliff ahead of us, but rather that people will use this [Net2Phone applications] in conjunction with activities that they are performing in the Internet portal space." — Michael Armstrong
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." — Thomas Watson
"The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows." — Frank Zappa
"Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data -- i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion." — Jean Baudrillard
"Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised) are called hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse at are called software." — Author Unknown
"If at first it doesn't work, REBOOT!" — Author Unknown
"A computer is like an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy." — Joseph Campbell
"The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha -- which is to demean oneself." — Robert Pirsig
"Our vision is this: In the future, companies won't buy computers. They'll buy connectivity to the Internet the way you go to the electric company to get electricity." — Mark Jarvis
"We want to be able to do this with partners. Five thousand computers is a conservative start." — Aisling MacRunnels
"Computers, Internet access, cell-phone technology and simplified web-page design software have all become cheaper and faster in recent years, making it easier to launch some type of at-home enterprise without sinking a lot of money into it." — Simon Yates
"Of course it's the government. Governments will pay anything for control of other governments' computers. All governments will pay anything. It's so much better than tapping a phone." — Alan Paller
"To create a new standard it takes something that's not just a little bit different. It takes something that's really new and really captures people's imagination. And the Macintosh, of all the machines I've ever seen, is the only one that meets that standard." — Bill Gates
"If Jewel Quest was a person, I would punch them in the effing face." — Charleen Scott
"Today's technology enables laptop computers to store vast amounts of information. Laptop computers are a high-risk target for theft and require us to take special safeguards to protect them. The capabilities of laptop computers also create significant technical vulnerabilities. For example, infrared and modem capabilities can cause data to be transferred without the users' knowledge." — David Carpenter
"Obtaining a guilty plea is a positive step in combating a growing problem -- hijacking thousands of computers for personal gain. The case validates what we have seen as the criminalization of the Windows platform, and it is especially dangerous because the exploit was used for a profit motive." — Andrew Jaquith
"They looked at everything workers did on the computers." — Andrew Jaquith
"We've had a lot more teens hanging out at the new library, ... The kids really like the new computers and a lot of them come here to hang out with their friends and do their homework after school." — American Library
"There's a bigger agenda here. Tandem has been in the forefront in moving to clustering [combining smaller computers' processing power to act like a mainframe]. That's one area that Compaq, along with Microsoft and Intel, want to move into." — Andrew Neff
"I feel like kids spend a lot of time indoors, in front of television, video games and computers any time that you can get a group of young people together that's not in front of some type of screen, it's a good thing. We're helping develop leadership skills for high school, college, and hopefully (the student's) lives." — Amy King
"It would take a lot of time and effort (to repair the computers). And they can't run (programs and games) kids are interested in today. They're not even on the Internet. We wouldn't be offering them much of a carrot." — Bob Schneider
"I noticed, a long time ago, you can engage kids a lot more with a screen. We started using computers in the classroom around 1980, but this class really started when we came to this building about 11 years ago. It was an experiment, and I have been teaching this class (advanced communications) ever since." — Mark Johnson
I have yet to see a career that is similar in benefit as computer science for doing the advanced exercises.   Frederick Lenz
Programming will aid a person in developing their mind and will aid their meditation. I find that people who have pursued programming are doing much better in their meditation.   Science, People, Meditation
A lot of the parallel processing software we're currently developing for supercomputers is tantric.  Science, Computer, Software
A number of people who are interested in computers in this lifetime programmed computers in Atlantis.   Science, Numbers, People
Trees sprout up just about everywhere in computer science...  Donald Knuth
I can't be as confident about computer science as I can about biology. Biology easily has 500 years of exciting problems to work on. It's at that level.
[Though computer science is a fairly new discipline, it is predominantly based on the Cartesian world view. As Edsgar W. Dijkstra has pointed out] A scientific discipline emerges with the - usually rather slow! - discovery of which aspects can be meaningfully 'studied in isolation for the sake of their own consistency.  Edsger Dijkstra
I fear -as far as I can tell- that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training. I've heard complaints from even mighty Stanford University with its illustrious faculty that basically the undergraduate computer science program is little more than Java certification.
I was lucky to get into computers when it was a very young and idealistic industry. There weren't many degrees offered in computer science, so people in computers were brilliant people from mathematics, physics, music, zoology, whatever. They loved it, and no one was really in it for the money.
Drs. Margolis and Fisher have done a great service to education, computer science, and the culture at large. Unlocking the Clubhouse should be required reading for anyone and everyone who is concerned about the decreasing rate of women studying computer science.   Anita Borg
I went to a school that's predominantly computer science and engineering. So, there's a real shortage of hot girls, let's say.   Joe Manganiello
Every weekend the drama department would have parties. The 20 hot girls on campus? All of them were in the drama dept. So we'd have somebody standing guard at the door to keep all the computer science guys out. We had to guard our women at all times.
The first law of computer science: Every problem is solved by yet another indirection.
I fear - as far as I can tell - that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training.
I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study.
I remember that mathematicians were telling me in the 1960s that they would recognize computer science as a mature discipline when it had 1,000 deep algorithms. I think we've probably reached 500.
I think everyone should get a little exposure to computer science because it really forces you to think in a slightly different way, and it's a skill that you can apply in life in general, whether you end up in computer science or not.   Tony Hsieh
Computer science needs to be part of the core curriculum - like algebra, biology, physics, or chemistry. We need all schools to teach it, not just 10%.  Brad Feld
[Computer science] is not really about computers and it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not about microscopes and Petri dishes... and geometry isn't really about using surveying instruments.     Hal Abelson
I was on this path to becoming a computer-science guy, but I didn't like it. I got no joy from it. It was very, very scary. It was suffocating to think that I was just going to do this thing for the rest of my life.    Kumail Nanjiani
I am a professor at the computer science department, but I don't know how to use a computer, not even for Email.  Endre Szemeredi
Atlantis was a highly evolved civilization where the sciences and arts were far more advanced than one might guess. Atlantis was technologically advanced in genetic engineering, computer science, inter-dimensional physics, and artistically developed with electronic music and crystal art forms.
A fashionable idea in technical circles is that quantity not only turns into quality at some extreme of scale, but also does so according to principles we already understand. Some of my colleagues think a million, or perhaps a billion, fragmentary insults will eventually yield wisdom that surpasses that of any well-thought-out essay, so long as sophisticated secret statistical algorithms recombine the fragments. I disagree. A trope from the early days of computer science comes to mind: garbage in, garbage out.   Jaron Lanier
Science is to computer science as hydrodynamics is to plumbing.
In computer science, we stand on each other's feet.   Brian Reid
I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.   Mayer Hawthorne
The rise of Google, the rise of Facebook, the rise of Apple, I think are proof that there is a place for computer science as something that solves problems that people face every day.
Throughout my academic career, I'd given some pretty good talks. But being considered the best speaker in the computer science department is like being known as the tallest of the Seven Dwarfs.     Randy Pausch
Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard...Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electromagnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill...At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer.    John Searle
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.
Science is supposedly the method by which we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. In computer science, we all are standing on each others' feet.  Gerald J. Popek
The issues involved are sufficiently important that courses are now moving out of the philosophy departments and into mainstream computer science. And they affect everyone. Many of the students attracted to these courses are not technology majors, and many of the topics we discuss relate to ethical challenges that transcend the computer world.   D. Michael Quinn
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.    Melinda Gates
Computer science is one of the worst things that ever happened to either computers or to science.    Neil Gershenfeld
My hope is that in the future, women stop referring to themselves as 'the only woman' in their physics lab or 'only one of two' in their computer science jobs.  \nKirsten Gillibrand
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes, biology is about microscopes or chemistry is about beakers and test tubes. Science is not about tools. It is about how we use them, and what we find out when we do.
The term "informatics" was first defined by Saul Gorn of University of Pennsylvania in 1983 (Gorn, 1983) as computer science plus information science used in conjunction with the name of a discipline such as business administration or biology. It denotes an application of computer science and information science to the management and processing of data, information and knowledge in the named discipline.      Saul Gorn
If you seek to develop the mind fully, for the enlightenment process, you will benefit if your career is related to computer science, law, medicine, or the arts.
I recommend computer science to people who practice meditation. The mental structures that are used in computer science are very similar exercises done in Buddhist monasteries.
I recommend, for many people, the study of computer science. Our natural resource in America is the mind. The mindset in computer science is very similar to the mindset in Zen.
Computer science is fascinating. As you study computer science, you will find that you develop your mind. It is literally like doing Buddhist exercises all day long.
Computer science is the most misunderstood field there is. You are being paid to solve puzzles. For a person who has practiced meditation in past lives, that is the way your mind works.
The logical and extralogical exercises you do in meditation are very similar to advanced systems analysis and programming.
Consciousness, like a complex system of software, has thousands of levels of nested, self-accessing subroutines
In Buddhist practice a great deal of time is spent practicing mandala meditation. You learn to visualize and hold simultaneous concepts in the mind during meditation.
Computer science really involves the same mindset, particularly artificial intelligence.
I considered law and math. My Dad was a lawyer. I think though I would have ended up in physics if I didn't end up in computer science.
My background, I really am a computer hacker. I've studied computer science, I work in computer security. I'm not an actively a hacker, I'm an executive but I understand the mindset of changing a system to get the outcome that you want. It turns out to make the coffee, the problem is actually how the beans get turn into green coffee. That's where most of the problems happen.     Dave Asprey
When a professor insists computer science is X but not Y, have compassion for his graduate students.    Alan Perlis
Computer science departments have always considered 'user interface' research to be sissy work.
I've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college.  Masi Oka
You know that Estonia, based largely on how successful Skype was, built by Estonian developers, that was a tenth of the entire country's GDP when eBay bought it. That was like a decade ago, it was f****** Estonia, they were behind the Iron Curtain two decades earlier. They're now pushing for K-12 education in computer science in public schools. They've gotten the message. They know how much value that can bring.    Alexis Ohanian
I had the opportunity, as a child, to grow up in a community center where I was exposed to theater, music, art, and computer science; things that I would have never had the opportunity to even meet had it not been for those people taking time out of their schedules, helping us as children to travel all over the world while sitting in a gymnasium. That's what I did before I was a musician, before I was a recording artist, I was a teacher and a community leader. Erykah Badu
The training one receives when one becomes a technician, like a data scientist - we get trained in mathematics or computer science or statistics - is entirely separated from a discussion of ethics.     Cathy O'Neil
I was never as focused in math, science, computer science, etcetera, as the people who were best at it. I wanted to create amazing screensavers that did beautiful visualizations of music. It's like, "Oh, I have to learn computer science to do that."      Kevin Systrom
My undergraduate work was in computer science and economics. It just happened to be at that time when 34 percent of computer-science majors were women.We didn't realize it was at the peak at the time.
It's now up to the states to figure out how they implement that definition of a well-rounded education, in other words, where they spend federal funds. The new law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, has suggestions like computer science, health, foreign language and geography. So there's no guarantee the arts will now flourish. Arts advocates are ready to help states and school districts with their plans.      Elizabeth Blair Lee
When I was 19 years old, I wrote my first book. I took a computer science class, and the book was garbage. I thought I could write a better one, so I did.     Jim McKelvey
Only in high school when I began programming computers, did I become interested in tech and start-ups, which led me to attend Stanford and major in Computer Science.        Clara Shih
The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.   William C. Brown
The software is the strength of the electronic tribe because it's networking. It's creating oneness. It's creating tributaries that link together into a singular river.
One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about.    Michael Gove
But biology and computer science - life and computation - are related. I am confident that at their interface great discoveries await those who seek them.  Leonard Adleman
Remember how quickly our field [computer science] changes. That's why you want to focus on learning things that don't change: how to work well with other people, how to carefully assess a client's real - as opposed to perceived - needs, and things like that.
There's a good part of Computer Science that's like magic. Unfortunately there's a bad part of Computer Science that's like religion.
For years, computer scientists were treating operating systems design as sort of an open-reserch issue, when the field's direction had been decided by commercial operations. Computer science has become completely cut off from reality.    David Gelernter
For those who wish to stay and work in computer science or technology, fields badly in need of their services, let’s roll out the welcome mat.    Sheldon Adelson
Progress in computer science is made with the distribution of revolutionary software systems and the publication of revolutionary books. We don't need a fancy information system to alert us to these grand events; they will hit us in the face. Another good excuse for ignoring the literature is that, since everyone has strong beliefs about fundamentals but can't support those beliefs rationally or consistently convince non-believers, computer science is actually a religion.     Philip Greenspun
Both women and computer science are the losers when a geeky stereotype serves as an unnecessary gatekeeper to the profession.      Cordelia Fine
Computer science is the operating system for all innovation.
Perhaps writers should never be allowed to get together in a workplace context. It's not like studying computer science, after all. The emotions are at large, and are shared and are questioned. There is a vulnerability.   Graham Joyce
When I studied computer science at Duke University in the first half of the 1980s, I had professors who treated women differently than men. I kind of got used to it. At Microsoft, I had to use my elbows and make sure I spoke up at the table, but it was an incredibly meritocratic place. Outside, in the industry, I would feel the sexism. I'd walk into a room and until I proved my worth, everyone would assume that the guy presenting with me had credibility and I didn't.        
The company I invested in is probably a leader in that area. They're a company called Second Spectrum, which happens to be based in LA but was started by two USC computer-science professors. It's filled with guys who love sports, who played sports, but really look like programmers.
Computer science doesn't know how to build complex systems that work reliably. This has been a well-understood problem since the very beginning of programmable computers.    Matt Blaze
Now the reason that we think computer science is about computers is pretty much the same reason that the Egyptians thought geometry was about surveying instruments: when some field is just getting started and you don't really understand it very well, it's very easy to confuse the essence of what you're doing with the tools that you use.
Why is computer science a good field for women? For one thing, thats where the jobs are, and for another, the pay is better than for many jobs, and finally, its easier to combine career and family.   Madeleine M. Kunin
Until Systers came into existence, the notion of a global community of women in computer science did not exist.
I never took a computer science course in college, because then it was a thing you just learned on your own.    Mitchel Resnick
In life sciences, we find a reasonable balance between men and women. In engineering and computer science, we have a major problem. A very small percentage of women will be in computer science.    Freeman A. Hrabowski III
Computer science … jobs should be way more interesting than even going to Wall Street or being a lawyer--or, I can argue, than anything but perhaps biology, and there it's just a tie.      Jobs, Wall, Ties
Theoretical Computer Science is just as useless as everything we mathematicians do.     Jennifer Tour Chayes
Computer Science: A study akin to numerology and astrology, but lacking the precision of the former and the success of the latter.
I actually remember very specifically the night that I launched Facebook at Harvard. I used to go out to get pizza with a friend who I did all my computer science homework with. And I remember talking to him and saying I am so happy we have this at Harvard because now our community can be connected but one day someone is going to build this for the world.     Mark Zuckerberg
Software is a reflection of our own mind. And as our software improves it will not only take on the patterns of our minds more closely, but it will also pick up the energy of our minds; in other words, I think that software is alive.
Artificial Intelligence is creating a mind, hopefully as pure a mind as possible, for a computer.
It is a real service to humanity and the world to be a good programmer, particularly if you design great products. You make is easier for everybody, everybody has less headaches.
One of the wonderful things about the computer is that it allows us to sit at home and either write a book or a computer program. Then we can send that program or book to companies that specialize in reproducing them and distributing them.
Computers are the central access; information processing based on a spiral network, similar to that which is the chaos of existence itself, the analysis of systems, the interlocking lokas.
It is my belief that one of the most exciting things about the World Wide Web is that they allow minds, as Spock might say, to meld. The transfer of consciousness through a variety of mediums is nothing new.
At extremely high processing speeds we are able to find patterns of order in what other people would perceive as chaos.
Follow your dreams wherever they lead you and pay for those dreams with good jobs in software programming and computer design!
Starting early and getting girls on computers, tinkering and playing with technology, games and new tools, is extremely important for bridging the gender divide that exists now in computer science and in technology.    Beth Simone Noveck
I have met bright students in computer science who have never seen the source code of a large program. They may be good at writing small programs, but they can't begin to learn the different skills of writing large ones if they can't see how others have done it.   Richard Stallman
If somebody is working on a new medicine, computer science helps us model those things. We have a whole group here in Seattle called the Institute for Disease Modelling that is a mix of computer science and math-type people, and the progress we're making in polio or plans for malaria or really driven by their deep insights.
Computer science is not as old as physics; it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that there is significantly less on the computer scientist's plate than on the physicist's: younger it may be, but it has had a far more intense upbringing!   Richard P. Feynman
Computer science has as much to do with computers as astronomy has to do with telescopes.
The unavoidable price of reliability is simplicity.     Tony Hoare
Premature optimization is the root of all evil in programming.
Good code is its own best documentation.   Steve McConnell
Steve Jobs: “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.   Walter Isaacson
Stupid, Smart, Technology     \nKnow what you are talking about.     \nPope John Paul II
Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.    John von Neumann
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.         Quirky, Computer, Programming
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
Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming.    Brian Kernighan
There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.
Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense.
The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers.  Richard Hamming
Daniel Dennett is our best current philosopher. He is the next Bertrand Russell. Unlike traditional philosophers, Dan is a student of neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence, computer science, and psychology. He's redefining and reforming the role of the philosopher.
An algorithm must be seen to be believed.
I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn't going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I've ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn't want to do whatever he did.   J. Cole
Coding is today's language of creativity. All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead consumers of computer science.  Maria Klawe
Most papers in computer science describe how their author learned what someone else already knew.      Peter Landin
I don't know how many of you have ever met Dijkstra, but you probably know that arrogance in computer science is measured in nano-Dijkstras.
You know, in college, I never got either degree, but I was a double-major in Computer Science and English. And English at Berkeley, where I went to school, is very much creatively-driven. Basically, the entire bachelor's degree in English is all about bullshitting. And Computer Science, which was my other major, was exactly the opposite of that. You had to know what you were doing, and you had to know what you were talking about.  Jonathan Blow
We are lucky in the United States to have our liberal arts system. In most countries, if you go to university, you have to decide for all English literature or no literature, all philosophy or no philosophy. But we have a system that is one part general education and one part specialization. If your parents say you've got to major in computer science, you can do that. But you can also take general education courses in the humanities, and usually you have to.     Martha C. Nussbaum
It's interesting that the greatest minds of computer science, the founding fathers, like Alan Turing and Claude Shannon and Norbert Wiener, they all looked at chess as the ultimate test. So they thought, "Oh, if a machine can play chess, and beat strong players, set aside a world champion, that would be the sign of a dawn of the AI era." With all due respect, they were wrong.   Garry Kasparov
I'm basically a computer science nerd.      Rebecca Moore
Joseph Campbell quote: Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.    Martin Fowler
When debugging, novices insert corrective code; experts remove defective code.  Richard E. Pattis
If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution.     Robert Sewell
It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem.   R. Buckminster Fuller
Complexity kills. It sucks the life out of developers, it makes products difficult to plan, build and test, it introduces security challenges, and it causes end-user and administrator frustration.      Ray Ozzie
One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code.  Ken Thompson
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.
On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Charles Babbage
Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil.
If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad!
Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
Experience comes from bad judgment.    Mark Twain
As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications.    David Parnas
Know what you're talking about.  George H. W. Bush
The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate. Robert Kiyosaki
It's hardware that makes a machine fast. It's software that makes a fast machine slow.     Craig Reucassel
Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with.  David Chalmers
Perhaps the central problem we face in all of computer science is how we are to get to the situation where we build on top of the work of others rather than redoing so much of it in a trivially different way.
We're not a vocational school. If someone wants to get a high-paying job, I would hope that there are easier ways to do it than working through a formal computer science curriculum.
Computer Science is a science of abstraction -creating the right model for a problem and devising the appropriate mechanizable techniques to solve it.  Alfred Aho
I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one's contributions to computer science.
Software Engineering is that part of Computer Science which is too difficult for the Computer Scientist.  Friedrich L. Bauer
We're losing track of the vastness of the potential for computer science. We really have to revive the beautiful intellectual joy of it, as opposed to the business potential.
Computer Science is the only discipline in which we view adding a new wing to a building as being maintenance.   Jim Horning
All problems in Computer Science can be solved by another level of indirection. Butler Lampson
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.
I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun.
What is the central core of the subject [computer science]? What is it that distinguishes it from the separate subjects with which it is related? What is the linking thread which gathers these disparate branches into a single discipline. My answer to these questions is simple -it is the art of programming a computer. It is the art of designing efficient and elegant methods of getting a computer to solve problems, theoretical or practical, small or large, simple or complex. It is the art of translating this design into an effective and accurate computer program.
Computer science is to biology what calculus is to physics. It's the natural mathematical technique that best maps the character of the subject. Harold Morowitz
The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim.
When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.  Marissa Mayer
Post-Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature, and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science.
Albert Einstein quote: Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.  Yogi Berra
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.
If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.     Aldous Huxley
A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.   Grace Hopper
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable.  Leslie Lamport
I'm not a great programmer; I'm just a good programmer with great habits.
But quality of work can be expected only through personal satisfaction, dedication and enjoyment. In our profession, precision and perfection are not a dispensible luxury, but a simple necessity.    Niklaus Wirth
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.
To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.      Paul R. Ehrlich
Random numbers should not be generated with a method chosen at random
Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
One finds limits by pushing them.   Herbert Simon
There can be infinite uses of the computer and of new age technology, but if teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.   Nancy Kassebaum
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.
There's an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone.
It is hardly surprising that children should enthusiastically start their education at an early age with the Absolute Knowledge of computer science; while they are unable to read, for reading demands making judgments at every line. Conversation is almost dead, and soon so too will be those who knew how to speak.      Guy Debord
The best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating systems. Thomas A. Edison quote: I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison
Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data -- i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion.  Jean Baudrillard
Bill Gates quote: Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress...
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.  Confucius
