Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that once it is competently programmed and working smoothly it is completely honest.

To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming bookkeeping communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single integrated personality.

I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand namely exactly nothing.

If I had done what I was programmed to do I would now be sitting in a car factory looking at the sizes of wheels or wondering how to get credit to start a new factory in Russia.

Everyday life is like programming I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it.

Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.

You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing vitality of FORTRAN.

I loved logic math computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.

I was never jailed. The fact is that I was arrested but I went into a diversion programme and by that time I'd already begun working in what was called anger management. It was a painful and awful moment.

I think for business reasons fiscal reasons I think these cable networks can take greater risks and I think with a risk comes better programming. And I think USA has got an amazing identity to it now that is clearly defined with its 'Characters welcome' tag.
