#2566Prediction is very difficult, especially of the future.
- Niels Bohr
#2567The 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
#2568Things are not as simple as they seems at first.
- Edward Thorp
#2569The main thing is the play itself. I swear that greed for money has nothing
to do with it, although heaven knows I am sorely in need of money.
- Feodor Dostoyevsky
#2570It is surely a great calamity for a human being to have no obsessions.
- Robert Bly
#2571Machines take me by surprise with great frequency.
- Alan Turing
#2572Uncertain fortune is thoroughly mastered by the equity of the calculation.
- Blaise Pascal
#2573After Goliath's defeat, giants ceased to command respect.
- Freeman Dyson
#2574There 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 is to
make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
- Charles Anthony Richard Hoare
#2575Do not allow this language (Ada) in its present state to be used in
applications where reliability is critical, i.e., nuclear power stations,
cruise missiles, early warning systems, anti-ballistic missle defense
systems. The next rocket to go astray as a result of a programming language
error may not be an exploratory space rocket on a harmless trip to Venus:
It may be a nuclear warhead exploding over one of our cities. An unreliable
programming language generating unreliable programs constitutes a far
greater risk to our environment and to our society than unsafe cars, toxic
pesticides, or accidents at nuclear power stations.
- C. A. R. Hoare
