“Lisp was far more powerful and flexible than any other language of its day; in fact, it is still a better design than most languages of today, twenty-five years later. Lisp freed ITS's hackers to think in unusual and creative ways. It was a major factor in their successes, and remains one of hackerdom's favorite languages.” ThinkingWayYearsStillsFactsTodayLanguagePowerfulCreativeFiveDesignMajorsTwentiesRemainsFactorsFive YearsUnusualFlexibleTwenty FiveHackersLisp Author:Eric S.

“You're thinking of Europe as Germany and France. I don't. I think that's old Europe. If you look at the entire NATO Europe today, the center of gravity is shifting to the east. And there are a lot of new members. And if you just take the list of all the members of NATO and all of those who have been invited in recently -- what is it? Twenty-six, something like that? -- you're right. Germany has been a problem, and France has been a problem.” IfsThinkingLooksHas BeensProblemTodayMembersSixEuropeTwentiesEastListsFranceGermanyGravityInvitedShiftingNatoCenter Of Gravity Author:Donald Rumsfeld

“Every morning I wake up and I tell myself this: It's just one day, one twenty-four-hour period to get yourself through. I don't know when exactly I started giving myself this daily pep talk--or why. It sounds like a twelve-step mantra and I'm not in Anything Anonymous, though to read some of the crap they write about me, you'd think I should be. I have the kind of life a lot of people would probably sell a kidney to just experience a bit of. But still, I find the need to remind myself of the temporariness of a day, to reassure myself that I got through yesterday, I'll get through today.” PeopleThinkingKnowsNeedsGivingShouldWritingKindStillsTodayBitsSoundHoursStepsMorningFourPeriodsOne DayWake UpTwentiesSellsYesterdayJust OneTwelveEvery MorningCrapMantrasKidneysPepPep Talk Book:Where She Went Source: Where She Went
