Manwhil, a quotation from th grat Alxandr Pop.
For fools rush in where angels fear to tread - Alexander Pope
Yah, I copid.
I probably be post some quotations in a more regular basis. I never want to lose these quotations and I like them a lot.
Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.
- Dorothy Thompson
It’s often fear that stops us from trying out. We live in an intricate world with (near) limitless opportunities begging for us to explore.
Dorothy Thompson (9 July 1893, Lancaster, New York – January 30, 1961, Portugal) was an American journalist, who was noted by Time magazine in 1939 as one of the two most influential women in America, the other being Eleanor Roosevelt.
She is notable as the first American journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany (in 1934), and as the inspiration for Katharine Hepburn’s character “Tess Harding” in the film Woman of the Year (1942). (Source: Wikipedia)
I like looking at quotations and it’s so hard to find a good one that suits my current situation. Gmail is a great with their little feed thing on the top. I’m too lazy to screenshot it but it’s there unless you had yours disabled.
The feed thingy syndicate a couple of quote-of-the-day RSS files. I found several good quotes there. A pretty good way to discover quotations.
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
Leonardo da Vinci
I would have easily disagree with the ‘do something else’ part but when I start to think a little more it still made sense a little. I prefer to say that you innovate and not just bluntly do something else.
During my two-year conscription, a certain somebody was quoted saying:
“Regular stay in got morale issue.”
(This is a personal note.)
Here’s what Guy Bono, French socialist and member of the European Parliament for the south-east of France, has to say about the music and movie industry pressuring governments to shut off internet access for people who are “illegally” downloading copyrighted materials.
Guy Bono says:
The repressive measures are measures dictated by industries that have been unable to change their business models to meet the needs imposed by the information society. Switching off internet access is a powerful sanction which could have profound repercussions in a society where access to the internet is a mandatory law for social inclusion.
Well said, sir. The EU Parliament has just voted in favor of Bono’s bill which asks individual countries to “avoid adopting measures conflicting with civil liberties and human rights… such as the interruption of internet access”. (Source: Mashable)
NVIDIA CEO Jen Hsun-Huang was quoted saying Intel’s integrated graphics offerings were “a joke,” and that even a tenfold increase in performance would put them behind NVIDIA’s current products. “We’re going to open a can of whoop ass,” he told analysts, whom quickly broke out into laughter.
NVIDIA CEO: “We’re Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass”
Throughout the bulk of the conference call, Huang continued to lament Intel for poor graphics performance. He hints at another Intel slide deck that claims Intel GMA 3100 is Windows Vista Premium compatible — a claim which was debunked by Microsoft employees in a recent lawsuit.
Intel fired back minutes later, sending emails to analysts detailing NVIDIA’s poor track record when it comes to Vista crashes due to incomplete drivers. Almost on queue, Huang responded once again.
“NVIDIA has to support several new titles every week,” he said, alleging that Intel’s graphics just have to support the basic office packages. “You already have the right machine to run Excel. You bought it four years ago,” he said.
The statement clearly struck a nerve with Huang, who paused for a second before adding “How much faster can you render the blue screen of death?” (more…)
