Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -- kept us in a continuousstampede of patriotic fervor -- with the cry of grave national emergency... Always there
has been some terrible evil to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it byfurnishing the exorbitant sums demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem neverto have happened, seem never to have been quite real.
-General Douglas MacArthur
Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there isno substitute for victory, that if you lose, the nation will be destroyed, that the veryobsession of your public service must be duty, honor, country.
-General Douglas MacArthur
No war ought ever to be undertaken but under circumstances which render all intercourseof courtesy between the combatants impossible. It is a bad thing that men should hateeach other; but it is far worse that they should contract the habit of cutting one another'sthroats without hatred. War is never lenient but where it is wanton; when men arecompelled to fight in self-defence, they must hate and avenge: this may be bad; but it ishuman nature.
-Thomas B. Macaulay, "Milford's History of Greece"

It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful ofsuccess, nor more dangerous to managment than the creation of a new system. For the

Being rich isn't about money. Being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter howmuch money we have, will never be free enough to take time to stop and eat the heart ofthe watermelon. And some of us will be rich without ever being more than a paycheckahead of the game.

We ask ourselves--Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, whoare we not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
-Nelson Mandela
Because of the subtlety of differences within the same range of styles, it took more timeto fathom other people than it does to read their philosophical bottom lines, so to speak,on their pants, buttons, caps or T-shirts. To probe candidates for friendship and otherintimacies, one had to talk to them, which is unquestionably less efficient than it is tolook around a room, decide, "They're all jerks," and go home and play computer games.

Under nocircumstances can the food be omitted.
-Miss Manners
You can take a pile of rocks and use them to build a house, or you can take the same pileand start a war. Tell children not to throw rocks, make rules against picking up rocks, andthen make mad. Keep projecting what not to do and you make the thought in their brainsof what can and will be done.

Communication has changed so rapidly in the last 20 years, it's almost impossible topredict what might occur even in the next decade. E-mail, which now sends data hurtlingacross vast distances at the speed of light, has replaced primitive forms of communicationsuch as smoke signals, which sent data hurtling across vast distances at the speed of light.Let's suppose that you want to say, "I am a jerk." In the 18th century, you would have togo around person to person and utter the phrase individually to each one of them.However, here in the third millennium, with our advances in telephone communication, itis possible to say, "I am a jerk" to a thousand people at a time by forgetting to turn offyour cell phone and having it ring during a performance of "Death of a Salesman."
-Steve Martin
The dogma of the church was challenged in the mid-17th-century by Renee Descartes'sfamous pronouncement "Cogito ergo sum" ("I am nervous about having to add"), and theage of rationalism began. Rationalism then gave way to empiricism, and David Humedeclared that it was impossible to know if anything existed at all, though later he recantedwhen he stubbed his toe on a doorjamb.
-Steve Martin
Bring Captain Solo and the stock options to me.
-Dan Martinez
But perhaps it's unfair to berate Microsoft for little shortcomings like these. Clearly, theyhad weightier issues to grapple with. Who's got time to do usability testing when you'restruggling to empower your users with the ability to surround text with a border ofanimated flashing marquee lights, Las Vegas style?

But while we're on the subject of file formats, let's pause for a moment in frankadmiration of the way in which Microsoft brazenly built backward-incompatibility intoits product. By initially making it virtually impossible to maintain a heterogenousenvironment of previous systems, Microsoft offered its customers that most eloquent ofarguments for upgrading: the delicate sound of a revolver being cocked somewhere just
out of sight.

I think that your faith in the wisdom of Congress is grossly misplaced.

10/33
I'd hesitate to accuse anyone of being outright corrupt, but I'll admit that I'm probably notgoing to expect a hard, searching look at all things Microsoft from magazines with nameslike "Windows Sources" and "Windows Computing" When you have the name of acompany's product in your title, and every other product you review requires thatcompany's product in order to be useful, you probably don't need to do a spectrographic
analysis to figure out which side your bread's buttered on. All of the abovenotwithstanding, Ziff-Davis as a corporate entity is so far down your pants that they needto run a pressurized air hose down there just to breathe.

It could be argued that I know slightly less about what it means to be in a healthy long-term relationship than your average monkey does about what it feels like to drown inquicksand.
-Dan Martinez
It was like watching a first-year film student's halfhearted attempt at a satire of superspy
movies, except that he had an unlimited budget courtesy of his insane rich uncle, andediting courtesy of the strung-out smack-addict roommate he felt vaguely sorry for. Ithink we were also hoping against hope for something to happen that would make it allworthwhile, or at least make sense. Maybe Uma Thurman would shed her human skin

Perl is the crystal meth of programming: it's so incredibly useful when you need to do alarge amount of work in a small amount of time that you tend to overlook the fact that it'sbasically precipitating the implosion of your vital organs.
-Dan Martinez
Speaking of flaming assholes: there have been a number of times, most of themexperienced while I watched or listened to the news, when I heard about one factionalsquabble or another, and thought, "These people don't really disagree. They've just been
caught up in their own rhetoric. If a neutral party were to step in and explain each side'spoint of view to the other, they'd see that they have more similarities than differences."I've sometimes fancied myself as that third party: objective, reasonable, tolerant, able toportray each group's goals in terms which the other would understand and findacceptable... So it's something of an eye-opener to realize that, no, the problem is infact not one of terminology at all: the man's potato has simply been baking too long.

Suddenly, I'm unable to shake visions of Stormtroopers in bell-bottomed combat armor,Imperial Officers wearing big, ugly gold medallions, Grand Moff Tarkin ordering theobliteration of planets from his hot tub, and the Death Star as a moon-sized disco globefrom my mind.

The idea that we're governed by some larger intelligence when we crowd together insufficient numbers would certainly explain a lot, though. Nazism. Woodstock. TheMacarena.

The repeated juxtaposition of "salary" and "penis length" has evoked in me an irrationalbut persistent anticipation that someone is going to make a post announcing how manyinches they make in a year.
-Dan Martinez
The sibilant succession surmising "sixty-six satellites" sounded somewhat silly.
-Dan Martinez
The world's various religions are just beginning their research into Clerical Acceleration,and it will be a number of years before they can even begin to consider reaching near-
luminal velocities. This is a shame, since it means that a number of tantalizing theoriesmust remain little more than speculation at this point, and a number of fundamentalquestions go unanswered. For instance, if a Catholic priest's speed were to come close tothat of light, and it were Sunday in his frame of reference, would he in fact approachinfinite Mass?

whore, so... sure.

What's that application, you ask? What obscure, rogue, poorly-written, backwater hackcould fail to interact properly to an interface setting built into the operating system itself?Why, it's Visual C++.
-Dan Martinez
Windows CE, while storing dates as 64-bit quantities, uses a minimum tick size of 100nanoseconds, and starts counting from some point in the 1600s -- I'm guess that to be the
inception of the Gregorian calendar. CE dates are therefore "only" good forapproximately fifty thousand years. I'm going to go on record as saying that if there areany CE devices still in existence at that point, they will all be under glass, in museums,and the bulk of their internals will long since have rotted into uselessness as aconsequence of metal migration. (And if I'm wrong, you may wander over to my severedhead, floating in its amniotic tank at the Hall of Oddities, and say "Neener, neener,neener".)

16/33
Before we go on, a word to the wise. What we're suggesting here is that you install partsof a development-level, unsupported operating system and install them onto a similar-but-not-identical, still-in-beta operating system. This is frighteningly close to the thin linethat separates geekery and madness. If you run into trouble, we'd be interested to knowjust how long it would take Apple to quit laughing at you before they told you they
couldn't help.

Spencerian Sonnet (abab bcbc cdcd ee) is also ruled out, because they suck to write.

Eknath Easwaran, the California meditation teacher whose book "Gandhi the Man" is thesimplest, and therefore loveliest, of the many Gandhi biographies, describes seeingGandhi meditate during the evening prayer service in the last years of his life. The textthat evening was from the second chapter of the Gita. As the sonorous verses were read,you could see him completely absorbed, his mind growing calm and still. Hisconcentration was so complete that it was no longer the second chapter you werelistening to, it was the second chapter you were seeing, witnessing for yourself thetransformation it describes: "They are forever free who have broken, Out of the ego-cageI and mine, To be united with the Lord of Love. This is the supreme state. Attain thouthis And pass from death to immortality." On the other hand, you could have 200 Gb, a128xCD/DVD, 6 Gb RAM and a smug dose of superiority.

25/33
When I came out into society I was 15. I already knew then the role I was condemned to,namely to keep quiet and do what I was told. It gave me the perfect opportunity to listenand observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest to me, but towhatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learned how to lookcheerful while under the table I stuck a fork onto the back of my hand. I became a
virtuoso of deceit. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophersto find out what to think, and novelists to see what I could get away with, and in the endit all came down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state ofmoral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
