This quote in somebody's sig was so precious I had to track it down . . .

«Windows is like a Mac in the same way that a transvestite is like a real woman. It's 95% the same, and actually what some people would prefer, but not really the same for those who care about small differences.»
- John C. Dvorak, quoting his wife.

. . . and I found a couple more . . .

SCSI is NOT magic. There are fundamental technical reasons why it is necessary to sacrifice a young goat to your SCSI chain now and then.
- John Woods

How to lie with statistics:
«The average human has one testicle and one breast.»


«The two most common things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. »
- Harlan Ellison

«Humans are incapable of securely storing high-quality cryptographic keys, and they have unacceptable speed and accuracy when performing cryptographic operations. (They are also large, expensive to maintain, difficult to manage, and they pollute the environment. It is astonishing that these devices continue to be manufactured and deployed. But they are sufficiently pervasive that we must design our protocols around their limitations.)" »
- C. Kaufman, R. Perlman, M. Speciner, Network Security: PRIVATE Communication in a PUBLIC World, Prentice Hall, 1995, pp. 205.
