- OS-to-Religion Comparison [Spiegel Online 10 July 2003]:
Windows, the catholic church.
Hierarchical: users (unreflected followers, go with the masses)
+ admins (priests, convinced, read the code)
+ Redmond (Vatican, disseminates new code)
Linux, free lutherian-evangelist church.
Anti-hierarchical: user = admin, everybody can read the code and contribute.
MacOS = the elitarean sect.
Users (happy to live in paradise on earth, accept catholicism around them)
+ Jobbs (Guru)

From The Meeting:
``We have a specification, ess,'' he began, ``which might actually be a program''-he nodded at Harry-``and a program, pee, which might
actually be a specification.'' He nodded at Isobel. ``We can express the meaning of ess and pee in a system that, being formal, has no
meaning, and we can prove, using a program pee pee that is in principle incomplete, that these meanings that are not quite meanings are, in
some abstract mathematical universe, equivalent, at least up to isomorphism. Moreover, we can use an unproven translator to compile pee
into another program, or possibly specification, written in some undefined machine language, that performs the computation on a processor
that we do not bother to describe in a formal way. And Bob claims that the result of all this will be, in some sense that he has not yet adequately
defined, correct.''

- A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician were sitting in a street cafe watching the crowd. Across the street they saw a man and a
woman entering a building. A little while later, the two people came out again, with a third person.
Biologist: They have multiplied.
Physicist: A measurement error.
Mathematician: If exactly one person enters the building now, it will be empty again.

Demotivators
«For longer than most can remember, motivational speakers, authors and
publishers have inspired and delighted us by championing the idea that
within each person exists virtually unlimited potential.
At Despair, Inc., we agree wholeheartedly- and helping others
to unleash their hidden potentials remains our singular obsession.

Perhaps you're a wholly reasonable person, with the potential
to become an irrational fool? ...
Or perhaps you're a dreamer, within whom lives a potentially
disillusioned grouse, ...»

Incompentence: When you earnestly believe you can compensate
for a lack of skill by doubling your effors,
there's no end to what you can't do
You can do anythhing you set your mind to wen you have vision, determination,
and an endless supply of expendable labor
In the battle between you an the world, bet on the world
If we don't take care of our customers, maybe they'll stop bugging us
Perfect for debuggers:
No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now,
remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them
