    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.

    I changed my password to 'incorrect'. As soon as I forget it and I try a password, my computer will remind me what my password was, because it says 'Your password is incorrect'.

    In Umberto Eco's novel Foucault's Pendulum two guys struggled to figure out the password of some computer system. After a long time they found out that they just needed to type "yes" in response to the prompt "Do you know the password?".
    I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.

    This is a snakeskin jacket! And for me it's a symbol of my individuality, and my belief... in personal freedom.
