It seems a little silly now, but this country was founded as a protest against taxation.

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- Rich Kulawiec

Know how to save 5 drowning lawyers? -- No? GOOD!

The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.

Needs are a function of what other people have.

This universe shipped by weight, not by volume. Some expansion of the contents may have occurred during shipment.

Computing is the only field in which we consider adding a wing to the building to be maintenance.

...Quoth the server, 404.

The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple. After that, it's all learned.

If the internet routes around failure, why does "www.microsoft.com" resolve?

** Windows has detected a mouse movement.
** Please restart Windows so changes can take effect.

Q: What's the difference between a used car salesman and a computer salesman?
A: The used car salesman knows when he is lying.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

PostPosted: Tue Nov 19, 2002 11:56 am    Post subject: Heinlein quotes. Reply with quote

A zygote is a gamete's way of producing more gametes. This may be the purpose of the universe.

When faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part of it you do understand and then look at it again.

Specialization is for Insects.

Most "scientists" are bottle washers and button sorters.

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning, while those other subjects merely require scholarship.

If it can't be expressed in figures, it's not science; it's an opinion.

Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do.

Anyone who can not cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best, he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe and not make messes in the house.

One man's "magic" is another man's engineering.

Moving parts in rubbing contact requires lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorific and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together.

There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who "love nature" while deploring the "artificialities" with which "man has spoiled nature." The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that man and his artifacts are not part of "nature" but beavers and their dams are.

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.

Expertise in one field does not carry over into other fields. But experts often think so. The narrower their field of knowledge the more likely they are to think so.

You live and learn, or you don't live long.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly.

I really shouldn't read these things at work! I've nearly ruptured myself in trying to contain my laughter. The ones about Micros**t were especially poignant, considering that is the platform our corporation has settled on.

Here are a few of my favorites.

From Ashleigh Brilliant:
"Appreciate me now and avoid the rush."
"By doing just a little every day, I can gradually let the task overwhelm me."
"Having failed to conquer myself, my best hope now is to arrange an alliance with myself."
"I always like to know what I'm doing, but there are times when nobody will tell me."
"I'll give up my bad habits as soon as equally satisfying good habits become available."
"Life may have no meaning. Or even worse, it may have a meaning of which I disapprove."
"My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right."
"My sources are unreliable, but their information is fascinating."
"Not only don't I know what tomorrow will bring, I'm still not entirely certain what yesterday brought."
"Try to relax and enjoy the crisis."

----------

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. ---Socrates

Money helps one tolerate poverty. ---Allais Alphonse

Most people don't have problems -- they have decisions they don't want to make. ---Erica Jong

A lot of people mistake a short memory for a clear conscience. ---Doug Larson

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept. ---Ansel Adams

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. ---William Pitt

If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan it properly. ---Nick Lappos

I refused to attend his funeral. But I wrote a very nice letter explaining that I approved of it. ---Mark Twain

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. ---Will Rogers

For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. ---Henry Louis Mencken

He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. ---Sir Winston Churchill

----------

Here are some from Ambrose Bierce in The Devil's Dictionary

CALAMITY, n.: Calamities are of two kinds: misfortunes to ourselves, and good fortune to others.
BIGOT, n.: One who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.
EXISTENCE, n.
A transient, horrible, fantastic dream,
Wherein is nothing yet all things do seem:
From which we're wakened by a friendly nudge
Of our bedfellow Death, and cry: "O fudge!"
EXHORT, v.t.: In religious affairs, to put the conscience of another upon the spit and roast it to a nut-brown discomfort.
LANGUAGE, n.: The music with which we charm the serpents guarding another's treasure.
EDUCATION, n.: That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.

----------

He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes. --- Chinese Proverb


And, finally:

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction! ---Abraham Lincoln

In the beginning, there was nothing. Then God said "Let there be LIGHT!" There was still nothing, but by golly, you could see it!

- A friend of mine who wishes to remain un-named, and my apologies if I accidentally offended anyone by including it here.


..Then God said "Let there be LIGHT", and Strom Thurmon said "It's about damned time!"

I could add a lot of other ones, but they're mostly from movies. For example,

"You idiot, that was a paint round!"

- Big Joe from the movie "Kelly's Heroes"
