Writing is always a restorative process. It's like paddling a kayak. When you're writing, you can't do anything else. You're in the space you're in. So, in that way, it's enormously centering and restorative.
~ Tabitha King
Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.
~ Steve Wozniak
Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.
~ Ken Olsen
To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.
~ Paul R. Ehrlich
Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you.
~ Prince
Go into the auto mechanic, you've got to know computers to be able to work on the cars.
~ Ann Mclane Kuster
The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.
~ Ted Nelson
We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable.
~ Nick Park
If you could utilize the resources of the end users' computers, you could do things much more efficiently.
~ Niklas Zennstrom
When you learn to read and write, it opens up opportunities for you to learn so many other things. When you learn to read, you can then read to learn. And it's the same thing with coding. If you learn to code, you can code to learn. Now some of the things you can learn are sort of obvious. You learn more about how computers work.
~ Mitchel Resnick
If you like overheads, you'll love PowerPoint.
~ Edward Tufte
How can you allow the trading companies to locate computers closer to exchanges and flash millions of bids to give an unfair advantage?... Even professionals are losing faith in some aspects of the system.
~ Mario Gabelli
Some computers have security software that make it impossible to hack into, and it's the same with brains - some malfunction, and some, you can't hack into them at all.
~ Keith Barry
Use a personal firewall. Configure it to prevent other computers, networks and sites from connecting to you, and specify which programs are allowed to connect to the net automatically.
~ Kevin Mitnick
No one has any faith in the tape anymore - everyone just relies on computers and considers the hardrive to be the safest option, and I don't. I think an analog tape is something you can hold.
~ Dave Grohl
If you take a regular animated film, that's being done by animators on computers, so the filmmaking is a fairly technical process.
~ Peter Jackson
I have nothing against investment banking, but it's like massaging money rather than creating money. If you're in physics, you create inventions, you create lasers, you create transistors, computers, GPS.
~ Michio Kaku
Your computer needn't be the first thing your see in the morning and the last thing you see at night.
~ Simon Mainwaring
Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD? It's the same thing, people going into the computers and loggin' on and stealing our music.
~ Britney Spears
Everyone has this perception that the bloggers, they say horrible things about you and they hide behind their computers where you can't see them.
~ L'wren Scott
I always loved computers - it's something inside you.
~ George M. Church
Technologies evolve in the strangest ways. Computers were created to calculate ballistics equations, and now we use them to create amusing illusions. Creating amusing illusions is a big business if you play it right.
~ Howard Rheingold
I detest computers. If you had a device like that 30 years ago that froze up constantly, misbehaved constantly, lost your information and screwed up when you needed it the most, it would have been laughable.
~ Tom Scholz
Nobody expects that just because they've made computers better they're going to give them to you free.
~ Dean Kamen
I can write anywhere. But I don't use a computer, and I could never write on a laptop. I hate the sound of computers; it's too dull, like it's not doing anything for you.
~ Elmore Leonard
You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount of people that you're going to reach but that's going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now.
~ Chuck D
If you write a blog post, you've got something to say; you're not just creating words and synonyms. We'd like the computers to actually pick up on that semantic meaning.
~ Ray Kurzweil
There is a difference between the stuff that people put online themselves, like pictures and their trips and flights and meals they've eaten, than the stuff that they don't realize is also going into foreign computers. Like, for example, copies of your emails or every single online search you ever do, 'cause all that is being recorded as well.
~ Mikko Hypponen
When I was 8 or 9, I started using bulletin board systems, which was the precursor to the Internet, where you'd dial into... a shared system and shared computers. I've had an email address since the late '80s, when I was 8 or 9 years old, and then I got on the Internet in '93 when it was first starting out.
~ Aaron Patzer
Computers were never designed in the first place to become musical instruments. Within a computer, everything is sterile - there's no sound, there's no air. It's totally code. Like with computer-generated effects in movies, you can create wonders. But it's really hard to create emotion.
~ Thomas Bangalter
Lighter computers and lighter sensors would let you have more function in a given weight, which is very important if you are launching things into space, and you have to pay by the pound to put things there.
~ Ralph Merkle
You can model experiments on computers now and then execute them, and you don't actually need a fully stocked lab.
~ Arvind Gupta
Comic books aren't nerdy. You'd have to be an idiot to think computers are nerdy.
~ Adam Brody
You couldn't have fed the '50s into a computer and come out with the '60s.
~ Paul Kantner
Before computers, you'd start designing using shapes of cubes. Now I can start with something like a handkerchief, an object that doesn't have strong inside and outside boundaries or much closed volume.
~ Greg Lynn
The guy who knows about computers is the last person you want to have creating documentation for people who don't understand computers.
~ Adam Osborne
I'm going to get myself one of those, um, movable computers - what do you call them... ? Laptops! I am bad. I still call my radio a wireless.
~ Katherine Parkinson
Doing a movie about computers between 1978 and 1982? You can't get much less sexy, less active than that.
~ Joshua Michael Stern
Maths is fundamentally a different process in education than it is in the real world. There is an insistence that we do maths by hand when most of it is done by computers. The idea that you have to do everything by hand before you can operate a computer is nonsense.
~ Conrad Wolfram
Calculating does not equal mathematics. It's a subsection of it. In years gone by it was the limiting factor, but computers now allow you to make the whole of mathematics more intellectual.
