Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.

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

I've never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn't have the right attitude didn't give it everything he had at least while he was doing it wasn't prepared and didn't have the whole program worked out.

It's a fundamental social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that it sounds like 'Well yeah ' but you start to think 'Why not though?' What makes one more valuable than another?

The giant white cube is now impeding rather than enhancing the rhythms of art. It preprograms a viewer's journey shifts the emphasis from process to product and lacks individuality and openness. It's not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments but it should seem alive.

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.

Don't count out other amazing programming like Frontline. You will still find more hours of in-depth news programming investigative journalism and analysis on PBS than on any other outlet.

It's amazing to me that they're cutting physical education programs in the school systems.

Research and development needs permanent tax credits to build the technology that spurs our growth. But no government programs alone can get America's students to study more science and math parents must push and help their children to meet this goal.

The way life manages information involves a logical structure that differs fundamentally from mere complex chemistry. Therefore chemistry alone will not explain life's origin any more than a study of silicon copper and plastic will explain how a computer can execute a program.

The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.

We're saying no changes for Medicare for people above the age of 55. And in order to keep the promise to current seniors who've already retired and organized their lives around this program you have to reform it for the next generation.
