Questions are the important thing, answers are less important. Learning to ask a good question is the heart of intelligence. Learning the answer-well, answers are for students. Questions are for thinkers.
Roger Schank

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
Image
Any fool can use a computer. Many do.
Ted Nelson

If they can shut down ABC News and ABC network programming just because they don't agree on something, it makes you wonder
Orrin Hatch

Any noun can be verbed.
Alan Perlis

The heart and soul of network programming is series programming, the weekly repetition of characters you like having in your house.
Dick Wolf

I mean, if 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself Dijkstra would not have liked this, well, that would be enough immortality for me.
Edsger Dijkstra

Though I'll admit readability suffers slightly.
Larry Wall

If we can dispel the delusion that learning about computers should be an activity of fiddling with array indexes and worrying whether X is an integer or a real number, we can begin to focus on programming as a source of ideas.
Hal Abelson

I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a mathematician, where half proof = 0, and it is demanded for proof that every doubt becomes impossible.
Carl Friedrich Gauss

NBC was trying to convert all of their local programming to color right away to encourage the sale of the sets, so I barely remember working in black and white, although I do know that I did do it, but there was not a major difference, though.
Jim Henson

The real problem in speech is not precise language. The problem is clear language.
Richard P. Feynman

Computer programming is really a lot like writing a recipe. If you've read a recipe, you know what the structure of a recipe is, it's got some things up at the top that are your ingredients, and below that, the directions for how to deal with those ingredients.
Larry Wall

Will robots inherit the earth? Yes, but they will be our children.
Marvin Minsky

Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster. (Or, sometimes known by] Grove [the head of Intel] giveth and Gates [the head of Microsoft] taketh away.)
Niklaus Wirth
Image
Often, the most striking and innovative solutions come from realizing that your concept of the problem was wrong.
Eric S. Raymond

Fancy optimizers have fancy bugs.
Rosamund Pike

The Internet is corporations all the way down.
Ethan Zuckerman

Treating your users as co-developers is your least-hassle route to rapid code improvement and effective debugging.
Eric S. Raymond

The camel has evolved to be relatively self-sufficient. On the other hand, the camel has not evolved to smell good. Neither has Perl.
Larry Wall
Image
For every scientific (or engineering) action, there is an equal and opposite social reaction.
Norman Ralph Augustine

Look, I think liberals have reasonable gripes with Fox News. It does lean to the right, primarily in its opinion programming but also in its story selection (which is fine by me) and elsewhere. But it's worth remembering that Fox is less a bastion of ideological conservatism and more a populist, tabloidy network.
Jonah Goldberg

Computers are like bikinis. They save people a lot of guesswork.
Sam Ewing

To me programming is more than an important practical art. It is also a gigantic undertaking in the foundations of knowledge.
Grace Hopper
