“Take responsibility for the things you build and invent.”

I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better.

I just don’t like to lose what’s in the window.

Just about every computer on the market today runs Unix, except the Mac and nobody cares about it.

A bomb is blown up only once-but one bot can become many, and quickly get out of control.

Although humankind inherently “desires to know”, if open access to, and unlimited development of, knowledge henceforth puts us all in clear danger of extinction, then common sense demands that we re-examine our reverence for knowledge.

Operating systems are like underwear – nobody really wants to look at them.

I got tired of people complaining that it was too hard to use UNIX because the editor was too complicated.

What’s your personal computer, anyways? Your personal computer should be something that’s always on your person.

The problem is that those few programmers who crank out code aren’t interested in maintaining it.

You can drive a car by looking in the rear view mirror as long as nothing is ahead of you. Not enough software professionals are engaged in forward thinking.

A tremendous social responsibility comes with being a successful public performer.

I am sure it is one’s duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one’s own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.

Right now it feels like we’re playing a role, like me and a couple of my friends, in where popular culture is going. That’s a very rare thing in a person’s life to be able to be a part of that. It’s a responsibility I take seriously.
