Looking for John Lennon

Lennon speaks

LENNON: "But nobody's perfect, etc., etc. Whether it's Janov or Erhardt or Maharishi or a Beatle. That doesn't take away from their message. It's like learning how to swim. The swimming is fine. But forget about the teacher. If the Beatles had a message, it was that. With the Beatles, the records are the point, not the Beatles as individuals. You don't need the package, just as you don't need the Christian package or the Marxist package to get the message. People always got the image I was an anti-Christ or antireligion. I'm not. I'm a most religious fellow. I was brought up a Christian and I only now understand some of the things that Christ was saying in those parables. Because people got hooked on the teacher and missed the message."

LENNON: "All we are saying is, 'This is what is happening to us.' We are sending postcards. I don't let it become 'I am the awakened; you are sheep that will be shown the way.' That is the danger of saying anything, you know."

Revenge of the Nerds

Revenge of the Nerds: "I'm not saying that you won't get a lot of pressure to use what are perceived as 'standard' technologies. At Viaweb (now Yahoo Store), we raised some eyebrows among VCs and potential acquirers by using Lisp. But we also raised eyebrows by using generic Intel boxes as servers instead of 'industrial strength' servers like Suns, for using a then-obscure open-source Unix variant called FreeBSD instead of a real commercial OS like Windows NT, for ignoring a supposed e-commerce standard called SET that no one now even remembers, and so on."

Thomas Huxley said "Try to learn something about everything and everything about something."

BSD For Linux Users :: Philosophy: "Right vs Wrong

The difference can also be seen in the way core code is integrated. BSD tends to always shy away from hackish solutions when there's even a hint of a proper solution in the wings. The theory is that it's far easier to wait for the clean answer, than to integrate the dirty answer now, for several reasons. For one thing, if you integrate the dirty answer, that reduces the incentive to implement a better one. For another, once you dirty up the architecture to integrate something it'll never get cleaned up again. You know it as well as I do. Oh, sure, you'll say it's temporary. But you know there's nothing quite as permanent as a temporary stop-gap. And things grow. The only way to avoid giving a mile is to refuse to give the first inch. It's just like taxes; when was the last time you saw a temporary tax that ever went away?"

ESP (extrasensory perception)

ESP (extrasensory perception): "Much of the belief in ESP is based upon apparently unusual events that seem inexplicable. However, we should not assume that every event in the universe can be explained. Nor should we assume that what is inexplicable requires a paranormal (or supernatural) explanation. Maybe an event can't be explained because there is nothing to explain. "

then you'd be EVERY engineer's worst nightmare, a marketroid with an engineering degree but no engineering experience!

seriously. work in the industry for 5 years, then go back to school, experience is more valuable than any piece of paper.

remote admin in heaven

ni-meeting kami mga programmers last saturday ni boss dennis(employer namin), nag-status report kami tungkol s program ng starhonda online, nasurprise din sya na malaki na rin pala yung program. may tinanong din sya kung madali ba i-trace ang program kung may error, kung madali ba daw mag-debug, pano raw kung isang araw eh mabunggo ako ng bus. sabi ko "sir madali idebug and i-trace ang program, very modular ang design ng program." god forbid if it happens, pero kung may untimely mangyari sa akin.... sana may remote admin sa langit :) para pwede pa rin ako magprogram doon.

Slashdot MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court: "Re:Suing will not Bring Gary Kildall Back (Score:4, Interesting)

Gary Kildall eventually died in a bar, but many (including myself) would say that Bill Gates drove Kildall toward suicidal drinking, which lead to him being killed in a bar with other drunks.

The story actually goes that Kildall fell in a bar and died slowly at home of some internal injury.

By contrast, Kildall did not even get the fame, i.e. the recognition that he deserved. Ask any Windows/MS-DOS user who Kildall is, and she will scratch her head with ignorance. If I were in Kildall's shoes, I would have been bitter every day of my life and would have probably committed suicide too.


Then again, you had Phil Katz [esva.net], who ripped off ARC from Thom Henderson, rocketed to fame and fortune with it, and then proceeded to drink himself to death. I would say that certain people can't handle failure, but certain others can't handle success either. Blaming one's individual choice to drink himself to death on another doesn't change where the responsibility for his suicide lies - with himself.
