Funny One Liners on Computers

A TV can insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.

The nice thing about Windows - it does not just crash; it actually displays a dialogue box and lets you press OK first.

Any system or program, however complicated, when looked at in exactly the right way will become even more complicated.

To err is human, but to really screw things up requires a computer.

Bad command or filename. Go stand in the corner.

C code. C code run. Run, code, run! PLEASE!

When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.

A computer program will always do what you tell it to, and seldom what you want it to.

Do files get embarrassed when they're unzipped?

My life needs a rewind/erase button.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls. Let the machine get it.

/earth: file system full.

Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Artificial Intelligence: The art of making real computers act like the ones in movies.

Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.

There are two major products to come out of Berkley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

There are two ways to construct a software design. Make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies; or make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.

UNIX: when you can't afford the very best.

A fail-safe circuit will destroy all other circuits.

The important things are always simple.

The simple things are always hard.

If you can't beat your computer at chess, try kickboxing.

Why can't DOS ever say "Excellent command or filename"?
