  • Wonderful quotes from Calamity Jane.

    This is my personal favorite.
    # “Memory is like an orgasm. It’s a lot better if you don’t have to fake it.”
  • This is not bad either.

    “Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.”
  • Haha, totally great quote mate
  • Good quotes. Really made my day.

    Let me share mine.

    How do you tell an extrovert engineer from an introvert? An extrovert engineer will look at your shoes when he talks to you.
  • I remember the previous IBM Chief Executive used to said in the 60s that the world only had space for 4 computers. He was referring to main frames. How wrong was he. Just heard IBM might be retrenching soon.
  • One thing I agree on is quote 6. No one programmer codes the same. Most have really bad habits.
  • I think guys all thinks like that.
  • "if carpenters built buildings the way programmers write programs, a single woodpecker could come along and destroy all of civilization." (unattributed usenet signature quote)
  • "There are two types of programmers in the world: those who believe it is possible to write a program which works first time and those who don't" Scott W Sloan
  • "Some of the things that we ask software developers to do are equivalent to asking a metallurgist to build a motor car", Bob Bridges
  • There are many cases where one invented it and the other made it famous. Programmers are by default a creature with technical expertises. This is why they need business-minded people to bring their products to the next level.
  • i found this funny. the second point.
    # Failure is not an option — it comes bundled with Windows.
  • Point number 10 makes those who studied Computer Science looks bad.
  • thanks..it brought a smile to my face..
  • Cool.. nice quotes and i love this one “Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.” lol
  • Failure is not an option but is highly likely ! "failure is not an option" has got to be my favorite.
  • "Debugging is twice as hard as writing a code".. Though things are difficult but not impossible... If you are too clever to write a code than you can debug the errors as well very efficiently...
  • You know how you tell yourself you are studying because you have your certification books opened in front of you? But you are really clicking on Stumble Upon to find interesting posts to read?

    Yeah well, I came across yours and had to write to tell you I enjoyed it very much. I gave it the thumbs up, so more people can come across it and enjoy it also.
  • i like this:
    “Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.”
  • the best is: Failure is not an option — it comes bundled with Windows

  • These are very geeky quotes :)
  • "Failure is not an option — it comes bundled with Windows. " It sure does. :)

  • Here are my favorite quotes:
    -There are 10 kinds of people in this world....Those who understand binary and those who don't.
    -The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.
    -Any fool can use a computer. Many do.
  • good article but have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained?
  • First there was the primordial ooze. Then there was the keyboard. Then the mouse. Then Windows. Now it is back to the primordial ooze.

    Replace Windows with J2EE. Or C++. It still works.
  • There are some classic quotes! I had to try VERY HARD not to laugh and disturb the office.
  • Great Quotes:)
  • There are some classic quotes! great reading

  • Failure is not an option but is highly likely ! "failure is not an option" has got to be my favorite also.
  • Interesting quotes but I am skeptical of things that end in 13. C++ is dead.
  • I agree, memory is like orgasm. Too many people are faking their intelligence just like the beauty pageants. Why can't they just be a Hooters girl?
  • This is really interesting. Didn't know there's so much knowledge into all these.
  • There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who do not
