#2211"The C Programming Language -- A language which combines the flexibility of
assembly language with the power of assembly language."
#2212The clothes have no emperor.
-- C.A.R. Hoare, commenting on ADA.
#2213The computer industry is journalists in their 20's standing in awe of
entrepreneurs in their 30's who are hiring salesmen in their 40's and
50's and paying them in the 60's and 70's to bring their marketing into
the 80's.
-- Marty Winston
#2214The computer is to the information industry roughly what the
central power station is to the electrical industry.

#2215"The Computer made me do it."
#2216The computing field is always in need of new cliches.

#2217The connection between the language in which we think/program and the problems
and solutions we can imagine is very close. For this reason restricting

#2218The day-to-day travails of the IBM programmer are so amusing to most of

#2220The difference between art and science is that science is what we
