In video you are starting with nothing but a black screen. There's no game there. With pinball you at least start with that basic concept, but not with video. The challenge of going from no game to something today is only different because you have t...
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites...
My parents were out of town and sent me to stay at my grandma's house. That's where I learned how to make pancakes. I served them to all the old ladies who lived on her block. After the meal, they each left a $5 bill next to their plates. I thought, ...
The photographs of space taken by our astronauts have been published all over the place. But the eye is a much more dynamic mechanism than any camera or pictures. It's a more exciting view in person than looking at the photographs. Of course, I perso...
The most impressive airplane ever, I believe, was designed only a dozen years after the first operational jet. Stayed in service till it was too rusty to fly, taken out of service. We retreated in '98 back to something that was developed in '56. What...
The problem with gross domestic product is the gross bit. There are no deductions involved: all economic activity is accounted as if it were of positive value. Social harm is added to, not subtracted from, social good. A train crash which generates �...
We have to have a conversation about whether Obama's plan to increase spending to occupy Afghanistan helps make America a safer country, or not. I think at some point, we may decide that we don't have to have that size military and cost footprint in ...
Accordingly, we find and devoting their talent and their patience to the establishment of the laws of rotation of the solid bodies. has incorporated his own analysis of the problem with his general treatment of mechanics, and since his time M. has br...
If there are still honest-smart men and women within those old and noble traditions, they should think carefully, observe and diagnose the illness. They should face the contradiction. Discuss the conflation. And then do as Warren Buffett and Bill Gat...
When I was a young guy, when I first started with G.E., Jack Welch sent us all to Japan because in those days Japan was gonna crush us. And we learned a lot about Japan when we were there. But over the subsequent 30 years, the Japanese companies all ...
Sergeant Al Powell: [after the FBI cuts the power to the building] Well, what are we gonna do now? Arrest them for not paying their electric bill? FBI Agent Johnson: We've shut them down. We let 'em sweat for a while, then... we give 'em helicopters....
Harry Terwilliger: [after Wild Bill causes havoc and nearly kills Dean] We thought he was doped. Didn't we all think we was doped? Paul Edgecomb: You didn't ask? [Terwilliger shakes his head] Paul Edgecomb: Well I don't think that's a mistake you'll ...
Tuco: [trying to read a grave that is marked "Unknown"] Unk-... unk-... there's no name on it. Blondie: [showing him the stone the name was supposed to be written on stone] There's no name here, either. See, that's what Bill Carson told me... it was ...
Phil Wenneck: [after seeing the ring that Stu plans on giving Melissa] What the hell is that? Stu Price: What's it look like? Phil Wenneck: If it's what I think it is, it's a big fucking mistake! Doug Billings: She's not that bad. Phil Wenneck: Doug,...
Carla Jean Moss: I ain't got the money. What little I had is long gone, and there's bills aplenty to pay yet. I buried my mother today. Can't pay for that neither. Anton Chigurh: I wouldn't worry about it. Carla Jean Moss: I need to sit down.
Bill: You know, I heard you had a tough time last year. But they say if you make one friend on your first day you're doing okay. Charlie: Thank you, sir, but if my English teacher is the only friend I make today, that would be sorta depressing.
Black is overrated. You'll never find it in my stores. Of course it's slimming, but it's just used too much, especially for men. One black suit by one designer, another one by another - they all look the same in the end. If I walk into a crowded hote...
Little Bill: [while shooting a scene, Dirk ejaculated inside Amber] We missed the cum shot. He came inside her. Maybe we could go to stock footage, or... Jack Horner: Are you crazy? It won't match! Dirk: Jack? I can do it again if you need a closeup.
If real, regular, normal, boring life, (when you're at home every day, seeing the same people, doing the same things) is like sitting at home on the floor surrounded by toys... traveling feels to me like going to Toys R Us with your toy box and getti...
Still there are moments when one feels free from one’s own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments, one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving b...
Development of Western science is based on two great achievements: the invention of the formal logical system (in geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by systematic experiment (dur...
