    Hermann Hesse (1980). “Six Novels: With Other Stories and Essays”

  • Computer security can simply be protecting your equipment and files from disgruntled employees, spies, and anything that goes bump in the night, but there is much more.

Computer security also makes sure no damage is done to your data and that no one is able to read it unless you want them to.

  • All evil, in fact the very existence of evil, is inexplicable until we refer to the paternity of God. It hangs a huge blot in the universe until the orb of divine love rises behind it.

    Light   Evil   Shadow

Even the father of advanced age who's not inclined to spare the rod is likely to suffer more than his victim: The first punch he throws might well be the last straw for his rotator cuff, reducing his disciplinary options to mere verbal abuse and napping.

    Funny   Baby   Children  
    Sarah Silverman (2010). “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee”, p.46, Faber & Faber
  • Not born to be rich, by 1981 I had nonetheless begun to use a PC that required for its operation the absorption of several hundred pages of protocols and the placement of very large floppy disks in the freezer to fix frequent crashes.

  • The first human-to-computer uploads of 2100 will prove that a perfect simulation is the thing being simulated - that a silicon soul doesn't need a physical body to inhabit. So eventually everybody who ever lived will be resurrected inside a living machine indistinguishable from God. Isn't it amazing what you can do with unlimited hard-disk space?

    Space   Perfect   Soul  
    "Deux Ex Silico". www.wired.com. January 01, 2000.

    Clouds   Air   Circles

    The Straits Times, April 22, 2007.
  • This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue-silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. From the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the sea--if you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset.

    Dream   Children   Eye

  • There are celestial sights more dazzling, spectacles that inspire more awe, but to the thoughtful observer who is privileged to see them well, there is nothing in the sky so profoundly impressive as the canals of Mars. Fine lines and little gossamer filaments only, cobwebbing the face of the Martian disk, but threads to draw one's mind after them across the millions of miles of intervening void.

    Thoughtful   Sight   Sky  
    Percival Lowell (1908). “Mars as the abode of life”
