“As new generations [of computers] come out, usually there are increased complexity and features, [that lead to] increased security problems. Plus, other industries have shown that every new generation has its own set of security problems.” ProblemGenerationsSecurityIndustryComputerFeaturesComplexityPlusNew Generation Author:Avi Rubin
“A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.” MindHumansLightLinesCitiesComputerChaosDataComplexityRepresentationGraphicConstellationsUnthinkableCyberspaceClustersCyberpunkCity Lights Author:William Gibson
“If you look at any leaf on any tree branch, it's similar to but not exactly a repetition of the previous branch. So the new science of complexity or showing how an architecture can be produced just as quickly, cheaply and efficiently by using computer production methods to get the slight variation, the self-similarity.” IfsLooksSelfTreeComputerMethodProductionsArchitectureComplexityBranchesRepetitionLeafsVariationSimilarityTree Branches Author:Charles Jencks
“Much time and money has gone into computer chess programs, and so far, no one's figured out how to crack the game, which I think speaks to chess's complexity.” ThinkingGamesSpeakGoneComputerProgramChessComplexityCracksTime And Money Author:Wells Tower
“If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions - for the fun of it - then one day you'll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one! And that's the way to become a computer scientist.” IfsWayDoneTurnsFunStuffOne DayProveComputerSolutionsScientistComplexity Author:Richard P. Feynman
“My work was fairly theoretical. It was in recursive function theory. And in particular, hierarchies of functions in terms of computational complexity. I got involved in real computers and programming mainly by being - well, I was interested even as I came to graduate school.” WellsRealSchoolTermParticularTheoryInvolvedComputerFunctionComplexityProgrammingGraduatesHierarchyTheoreticalGraduate School Author:Dennis Ritchie
