“My first operating system project was to build a real-time system called RSX-11M that ran on Digital's PDP-11 16-bit series of minicomputers. ... a multitasking operating system that would run in 32 KB of memory with a hierarchical file system, application swapping, real-time scheduling, and a set of development utilities. The operating system and utilities were to run on the entire line of PDP-11 platforms, from the very small systems up through the PDP-11/70 which had memory-mapping hardware and supported up to 4 MB of memory.” FirstsRealRunningBitsLinesMemoriesDevelopmentProjectsSeriesRanDigitalApplicationPlatformsFilesUtilityHardwareMultitaskingOperating SystemsMappingSchedulingSwapping Author:Dave Cutler
“In the United States those bits of our history that remain are paved over, sanitized, packaged for easy consumption. At those sites not already lost to commercial development, we walk between velvet ropes, herded by guides, warned not to touch.

“I'm a bit obsessive. I've just bought this Wi-Fi radio, which can pick up 7,500 stations from all over the world. I'm boring my wife to death with it. I've got a thing about technology, so I've got four sat-nav systems and loads of gadgets, including a 100% accurate watch. Any new development and I'm there buying it.

“Over the years, I think I've matured in my spiritual evolution and development to understand a bit more than the narrow religious thinking - to move beyond that through a sort of perfection of the grandiose nature of the universe, and how perfect it is it in its sense and how satisfied we should all be in our place in that.” ThinkingShouldYearsSpiritualMovingUniverseBitsReligiousPerfectDevelopmentEvolutionPerfectionSatisfiedMaturedGrandioseSpiritual Evolution Author:Buzz Aldrin
“Beauty has never been an important topic in the writings of the major psychologists. In fact, for Jung, aesthetics is a weak, early stage of development. He follows the Germanic view that ethics is more important than aesthetics, and he draws a stark contrast between the two. Freud may have written about literature a bit, but an aesthetic sensitivity is not part of his psychology.” WritingMayTwoImportantFactsLiteratureBitsViewsPsychologyWrittenStageDevelopmentMajorsDrawsEthicsWeakAestheticContrastSensitivityTopicsAestheticsPsychologistStarksJungStages Of Development Author:James Hillman
“What else can I tell you? It seems to me that everything has its proper emphasis; and finally I want to add just one more bit of advice: to keep growing, silently and earnestly, through your whole development; you couldn't disturb it any more violently than by looking outside and waiting for outside answers to questions that only your innermost feeling, in your quietest hour, can perhaps answer.” WantWholeFeelingsSeemsBitsWaitingHoursAnswersGrowingAdviceDevelopmentAddJust OneEmphasis Author:Rainer Maria Rilke
