Bending Quotes
Machines this small tend to stick to everything they touch, the way sand sticks to your feet after a day at the beach, ... So we built these microrobots without any wheels or hinged joints, which must slide smoothly on their bearings. Instead, these robots move by bending their bodies like caterpillars. At very small scales, this machine is surprisingly fast.

Ball Quotes
'Minute to Win It' is a variation on a game show from the 1950s called 'Beat the Clock,' in which contestants won washing machines and fox stoles by doing such pointless stunts as catching a tennis ball in a paper cup or knocking a hat off one's wife's head with a whipped-cream spritzer.

Accurately Quotes
Of all cursed places under the sun, where the hungriest soul can hardly pick up a few grains of knowledge, a girls boarding-school is the worst. They are called finishing schools, and the name tells accurately what they are. They finish everything but imbecility and weakness, and that they cultivate. They are nicely adapted machines for experimenting on the question, ''Into how little space a human being can be crushed?'' I have seen some souls so compressed that they would have fitted into a small thimble, and found room to move there -- wide room. A woman who has been for many years at one of those places carries the mark of the beast on her till she dies.

Basic Quotes
Men and machines are good at different things. People form plans and make decisions in complicated situations. We are less good at making sense of enormous amounts of data. Computers are exactly the opposite: they excel at efficient data processing but struggle to make basic judgments that would be simple for any human.

Allow Quotes
I am shocked at the extent and nature of problems GAO has identified in our electronic voting systems, and I fear that this may just be the tip of the iceberg, ... It is totally unacceptable that in 21st century America we would allow faulty machines and systems to rob citizens of their voting rights.

Almost Quotes
We're projecting technology earnings are going to grow almost 40 percent this quarter and that's on top of a very, very strong 1999. Energy company earnings obviously will grow close to 80 percent, but that's on top of a weak '99. So there are companies that should have leadership. After all, if you look at the companies that issue profit warnings last week; Maytag, McDonald's, I mean I don't think the future of growth of American economy is washing machines or cheeseburgers.

Approach Quotes
Our behavioral approach is repeatedly validated by its detection and mitigation of day-zero threats like this one. Even if a patch were available, IT administrators will be hesitant to implement it immediately, given the recent history of untested Microsoft patches bringing down networks. So IT has to decide between implementing untested patches, and letting the patch age, putting users' machines and thus the network's security in jeopardy.

Aspect Quotes
Most of the people who claim to be doing systems biology are really studying simple and complex molecular machines and how they function, and that is an aspect of systems biology; but it isn't. It's the networks that really capture and store and transmit and integrate and modulate and finally end up executing the biological information as it is.

Difficult Quotes
WINK called me up with the potential to do some freelance work and I was excited about it. I was nervous, but once I got up in front of the camera, I was very comfortable. The difficult part is in the preparation of the product, learning all the machines and the way (WINK) works things.

Audit Quotes
Voting should go quickly once people learn how to use the touch screen. It's better in a whole lot of ways than printed ballots. An election can be certified in two days. It should also minimize recounts. The old paper ballot machines would sometimes miscount the ballot and sometimes two ballots would go through instead of one. The touch screen will leave a paper audit trail and recover everything each voter does.

Amount Quotes
XML and RDF promise corporate users less friction in data integration and evolution. Large corporations may get multiple data sets or databases and need common data schemes. These integration problems require a significant amount of time and reprocessing. They can make for a pretty painful data fusion process. XML and RDF reduce the time it takes...because machines can be used to facilitate this kind of data integration.

Artist Quotes
The machines that are first invented to perform any particular movement are always the most complex, and succeeding artists generally discover that, with fewer wheels, with fewer principles of motion, than had originally been employed, the same effects may be more easily produced. The first systems, in the same manner, are always the most complex.

Allow Quotes
The fact that the dirty dozen is comprised of nations from four different continents gives an indication as to the nature of the spam problem. Zombie computers - responsible for relaying more than 60% of the world's spam - can allow spammers to escape country-specific legislation, as they no longer have to be located in the same country as the spamming machines they operate.

Flying Quotes
There is a thrill of vulnerability at all airshows. There is no way of making everything completely safe. When the machines are being thrashed to capacity and the pilots are flying at their limits to dazzle, things are bound to go wrong sometimes. There have been some historic disasters, but the danger is a part of the attraction.
