I tell my students that artificial intelligence is a property that a machine has if it astounds you. An elephant is a mouse with an operating system. If it's not on fire then it's a software problem. You know you've been spending too much time on the Internet when every colon appears as a pair of eyes: As soon as you delete a worthless file, you'll need it. Installing a new program will always screw up at least one old one. The computer will work perfectly at the repair shop.

Hot parts look exactly like cold parts. The person who smiles when bad things happen knows who to blame it on. If you make a copy of your system configuration nine out of ten times, the tenth time is the only time you will need it. The more pounds the package weighs, the harder it will be to find the installation instructions. If the new software you want requires new hardware to run, you don't need the new software. No matter how large the hard disk, the need for space will always exceed the available space by ten percent. The likelihood of a hard disk crash is in direct proportion to the value of the material that hasn't been backed up. There are only two kinds of computer users. Those whose hard disk has crashed and those whose hard disk hasn't crashed - yet. |
