"Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it." ― Donald Knuth Topic(s): Beauty More From Donald Knuth "Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do." "People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird." "I currently use Ubuntu Linux, on a standalone laptop – it has no Internet connection. I occasionally carry flash memory drives between this machine and the Macs that I use for network surfing and graphics; but I trust my family jewels only to Linux."

They’ve got the best lawyers and accountants in the world. You know who gets destroyed by big government? It’s the little guys."― Marco Rubio "Beauty may be skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone."― Redd Foxx
