A well installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.

I think the major good idea in Unix was its clean and simple interface: open, close, read, and write.

I still have a full-time day job, which is why it took me five years to write An Ear to the Ground, and why I won't have another book finished by next week.

It is only the inadequacy of the criminal code that saves the hackers from very serious prosecution.

You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself.

So maybe I can go back to being a Gardeners' World addict again.
