celine (Who Drugged Thumper?):
The truth is that Christian theology, like every other theology, is not only
opposed to the scientific spirit; it is also opposed to all other attempts
at rational thinking. Not by accident does Genesis 3 make the father of
knowledge a serpent -- slimy, sneaking and abominable. Since the earliest
days the church as an organization has thrown itself violently against every
effort to liberate the body and mind of man. It has been, at all times and
everywhere, the habitual and incorrigible defender of bad governments, bad
laws, bad social theories, bad institutions. It was, for centuries, an
apologist for slavery, as it was the apologist for the divine right of kings.
- H. L. Mencken

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
This is the conversation that will take place many years from now when
the crew of Starship Enterprise returns to earth and discovers your
newly acquired ti computer.
"Can you operate it, Spock?"
"Well, Jim, this computer was designed and constructed 300 million
years ago by a totally alien race of methane-breathing, squidlike
beings who built it using technologies unknown to us and used it
for purposes we cannot conceive of and then mysteriously vanished
leaving no shred of documentation as to its operation. It may
take a few moments."

Nothing in the world can take place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan `Press On` has solved and always will solve the
problems of the human race.
-Calvin Coolidge
Amherst Fiji `94

Since I am a mere freshman, I am not doing any really neat
development, but I am employed as a consultant for MIT Information
Systems in the Information Services/MCR group. I basically deal with
Macs and IBMs in this line of work. I am also the current VIRUS-BUSTER
for IServ/MCR.
I am also a member of the Student Information Processing Board (SIPB)
and I just hack around UNIX systems.
Wanna know more? Just drop me a line, preferably at the address:
