I'm going to live forever, or die trying.
Engineers think that equations approximate the real world.
Scientists think that the real world approximates equations.
Mathematicians are unable to make the connection.
It is not a sign of weakness to ask for guidance; nor is it a crime to be uninformed, but to choose
the path of ignorance is unforgivable.

To a pessimist, it's half empty.
To an engineer, it's twice as big as necessary...

Humor on Computers, Systems and Programming
Real Programmers
- Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand
and even harder to modify.
- Real Programmers don't document. Documentation is for simpletons who can't read listings or the object
code from the dump.
- Real programmers don't write in BASIC. Actually, no programmers write in BASIC after reaching puberty.
- Real Programmers don't write in COBOL. COBOL is for COmmon Business-Oriented Laymen who can't run
a business, much less write a real program.
- Real Programmers don't write in COBOL. COBOL was designed to be read, not run. Unfortunately it is
often run anyway.
- Real Programmers don't write in APL, unless the whole program can be written on one line.
- Real Programmers don't write in LISP. Only idiots' programs contain more parenthesis than actual
code.
- Real Programmers don't write in PASCAL, BLISS, ADA, or any of those other sissy computer science
languages. Strong typing is the crutch for people with weak minds.
- Real Programmers don't write in PL/I. PL/I is for programmers who can't decide whether to write in
COBOL or FORTRAN.
- Real programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.
FORTRAN is for wimp engineers who wear white socks.
- Real Programmers don't write in RPG. RPG is for gum-chewing dimwits who maintain ancient payroll
programs.
- Real Programmers don't write applications programs. They program right down on the bare metal. Applications
programming is for the dullards who can't do systems programming.
- Real Programmers don't write specs. Users should be grateful for whatever they get: they are lucky
to get any programs at all.
- Real Programmers don't read manuals. Reliance on a reference manual is the hallmark of the novice
and the coward.
- Real Programmers don't believe in schedules. Planners make up schedules. Managers "firm up" schedules.
Frightened coders strive to meet schedules. Real Programmers ignore schedules.
- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in text editors
as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
Real Users
- Real Users find the one combination of bizarre input values that shuts down the system for days.
- Real Users hate Real Programmers.
- Real Users know your home telephone number.
- Real Users never use the Help key.
Programming Languages
- C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away
your whole leg. ---Bjarne Stroustrup
- If I hear the phrase ``everything is an object'' once more, I think I will scream. ---Michael Stonebraker
- "The C Programming Language -- A language which combines the flexibility of assembly language with
the power of assembly language."
- COBOL programs are an exercise in Artificial Inelegance.
- PASCAL: A programming language named after a man who would turn over in his grave if he knew about
it.
- The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to
pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement
and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should
the value of pi change. -- FORTRAN manual for Xerox Computers
Bugs
- Bug: An aspect of a computer program which exists because the programmer was thinking about Jumbo
Jacks or stock options when he wrote the program.
- Heisenbug: [from Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in quantum physics] A bug that disappears or
alters its behavior when one attempts to probe or isolate it. (This usage is not even particularly fanciful;
the use of a debugger sometimes alters a program's operating environment significantly enough that buggy
code, such as that which relies on the values of uninitialized memory, behaves quite differently.) Antonym
of Bohr bug; see also mandelbug, schroedinbug. In C, nine out of ten heisenbugs result from uninitialized
auto variables, fandango on core phenomena (esp. lossage related to corruption of the malloc arena)
or errors that smash the stack.
- Bohr Bug: [from quantum physics] A repeatable bug; one that manifests reliably under a possibly unknown
but well-defined set of conditions.
- Mandel Bug: [from the Mandelbrot set] A bug whose underlying causes are so complex and obscure as
to make its behavior appear chaotic or even non-deterministic. This term implies that the speaker thinks
it is a Bohr bug, rather than a heisenbug.
- Schroedinbug [Schroedinger's Cat thought-experiment in quantum physics] A design or implementation
bug in a program that doesn't manifest until someone reading source or using the program in an unusual
way notices that it never should have worked, at which point the program promptly stops working for
everybody until fixed. Though (like bit rot) this sounds impossible, it happens; some programs have
harbored latent schroedinbugs for years.
Computers
- At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors,
including the error of blaming it on the computer.
- Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.
- "Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us
all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining." -- Jeff Raskin, interviewed in Doctor
Dobb's Journal
- "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, President
of DEC, World Future Society Convention, 1977
- A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a
workstation...
- Error, no keyboard - press F1 to continue.
Operating Systems
- "Unix is user friendly - it's just a bit more choosy about who it's friends are." -- Gene Buckle
- "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed Linux."
- Computers are like air conditioners. They stop working when you open Windows.
- "... being a Linux user is sort of like living in a house inhabited by a large family of carpenters
and architects. Every morning when you wake up, the house is a little different. Maybe there is a new
turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."
-- Unix for Dummies, Jon "maddog" Hall
- The only thing Micro$oft has done for society, is make people believe that computers are inherently
unreliable.
- "Where do you want to go today?" -- Microsoft ad campaign "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" --
Linux enthusiasts
- "One cannot delete the Web browser from KDE without losing the ability to manage files on the user's
own hard disk." - Prof. Stuart E Madnick, MIT. So called "expert" witness for Microsoft. 2002/05/02

Thompson, Sysadmin, Malcontent
- "Modularity is not a hack." - Dan Bernstein

and then read a bug report and suggested fix from halfway around the world using the bedside laptop
the next morning? I have." - Donald J. Becker
in November, 1993

, in the vixie-cron
3.0.1 installation notes
- "DES itself is now 'DED'. It is 'kid sister' code. It has 'X'es for eyeballs. It is defunct. It is
an ex-protocol." - Robert Hettinga
, in July 20, 1998 letter explaining that it
costs $684.93 to break one DES key.
- "...very few phenomena can pull someone out of Deep Hack Mode, with two noted exceptions: being struck
by lightning, or worse, your *computer* being struck by lightning." - Matt Welsh
- "Well, let's just say, 'if your VCR is still blinking 12:00, you don't want Linux.'" - Bruce Perens,
Debian's Fearless Leader
- "The sticker on the side of the box said 'Supported Platforms: Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, or better',
so clearly Linux was a supported platform." - Nathan Hand
- "Would you buy a car with the hood welded shut? Debian/GNU Linux ... the maintainable operating system."
- Tim Thomson

the dying, take orders, give orders, solve equations, pitch manure, program a computer, fight efficiently,
die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Lazarus Long, in Time Enough for Love by Robert A.
