Some funny quotes…
I came across an article yesterday by Paul Rubens where he discusses the security of monolothic kernels and voices his opinions on the adoption of microkernels. He said something which had me laughing for quite some time; in response to the words of Microsoft’s COO Kevin Turner regarding the most secure OS in the world being Microsoft’s Windows Vista:
Really, he did. I'm not kidding. What a load of utter, utter, nonsense: If Vista is the most secure OS on the planet then I am a banana. |
This quote goes in my book of funny quotes, right after Tom Van Vlecks conversation with Dennis Ritchie:
We went to lunch afterward, and I remarked to Dennis that easily half the code I was writing in Multics was error recovery code. He said, "We left all that stuff out. If there's an error, we have this routine called panic, and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'" |
