real thinking people
Real theology is always rather shocking to people who already think they know what they think. I'm still shocked myself.
thinking people arms
So please don't think I have a 'down' on the MVS people. I'm just pulling off their arms to beat other people over the head with.
people entertainment values
There's some entertainment value in watching people juggle nitroglycerin.
suicide people bunch
Well, you know, Hubbard had a bunch of people sworn to commit suicide when he died. So of course he never officially died...
power ideas people
One of the very basic ideas of Post-Modernism is rejection of arbitrary power structures. Different people are sensitive to different kinds of power structures.
people use forks
I'd make people say 'use Fork;' if I thought I could get away with it.
people together want
I want to see people using Perl to glue things together creatively, not just technically but also socially.
new-york thinking people
(To someone at New York University) If you consistently take an antagonistic approach, however, people are going to start thinking you're from New York.
moving escaping people
[Boxed] Multiple bouncing balls in a box are a metaphor for community. Notice how the escaping balls explode. This is what happens to people who move from Perl to Ruby .
people notion occasions

Perl is worse than Python because people wanted it worse.

But I know what's important to me, and what isn't. And I think I know what people can get used to, and what they can even learn to like. (It just takes some people longer than others.
thinking people facts
The trouble with being quoted a lot is that it makes other people think you're quoting yourself when in fact you're merely repeating yourself.
