Remember, the more engineering projects there are, the more products there will be. -- Richard F. Moore Turnaucka's Law: The attention span of a computer is only as long as its electrical cord. 186,000 miles per second: it's not just a good idea, it's the law.
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root. -- Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854 If it stinks, it's chemistry. If it moves, it's biology. If it does not work, It's computer science. Profanity is the one language all programmers know best. "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons." Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949 "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943 "But what ... is it good for?" Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip. "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977 "This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us." Western Union internal memo, 1876. "If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you can't do this." Spencer Silver on the work that led to the unique adhesives for 3-M "Post-It" Notepads. "So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs on attempts to get Atari and H-P interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer. "Everything that can be invented has been invented." Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899. "640K ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981 They're not bugs! They're "random features" Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology: There's always one more bug. A extension of Lubarsky's Law and Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem: "Every program can be optimized by at least one line. Every program contains at least one bug. It follows then that every program can be reduced to a single line that does not execute." Ohnosecond: That miniscule fraction of time in which you realize you've just made a BIG mistake. --Elizabeth P. Crowe
