TEN COMMANDMENTS OF COMPUTER ETHICS

"The nice thing about computers is that they will do exactly what you tell them to do. Unfortunately, they will do it exactly, so you need to get your instructions exactly right"
                                --David J. Eck, The Most Complex Machine, p.173

"A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history,
with the possible exception of handguns and tequila."
                                -- Mitch Ratliffe, Technology Review, April 1992

         According to the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics (summer 1996), the median annual
         income for men age 30 and older with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics is $52,316.
         That figure is second highest among all majors (engineering is about $700 higher),
         and about $8500 above the median for all majors.      [ USA Today, 15jan97 ]
    Programmers' shortage predicted, so learn programming now !
