If you want to go somewhere, goto is the best way to get there.

In college, before video games, we would amuse ourselves by posing programming exercises.

It's always good to take an orthogonal view of something. It develops ideas.

No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code.

That brings me to Dennis Ritchie. Our collaboration has been a thing of beauty.

|
I can't understand something presented to me that's very complex.
|
|
Maybe I do what I do because if I built anything more complicated, I couldn't understand it.
|
|
What is or is not implemented in the kernel represents both a great responsibility and a great power
|
|
Throughout, simplicity has been substituted for efficiency.
|
|
Complex algorithms are used only if their complexity can be localized.
|
|
My experience and some of my friends' experience is that Linux is quite unreliable.
|
|
Microsoft is really unreliable but Linux is worse.
