“

[P]eople only made money out of records for a very, very small time. When The Rolling Stones started out, we didn’t make any money out of records because record companies wouldn’t pay you! They didn’t pay anyone!

Then, there was a small period from 1970 to 1997, where people did get paid, and they got paid very handsomely and everyone made money. But now that period has gone.

So if you look at the history of recorded music from 1900 to now, there was a 25 year period where artists did very well, but the rest of the time they didn’t.

“In some ways programs are among the most complicated artefacts mankind ever trued to design, and personally I find it fascinating to see that reasoning about them is so much aided by simple, elegant devices such as predicate calculus and lattice theory. After more than 45 years in the field, I am still convinced that in computing, elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a quality that decides between success and failure; in this connection I gratefully quote from The Concise Oxford Dictionary a definition of “elegant”, viz. “ingeniously simple and effective”. Amen.”

“Þú húðlita bjargráð, þú innyflum útfyllta sin;
undirlögð margræðum sósum, á laukstráðu beði.
Af algleymisfögnuði langþráðum logar mitt gin
er ljúkast um enda þér titrandi varir, af gleði.”
