Quote of the "Week": Even after 500+ years...
After a bit of a break, I have another quote:
The extent and density of this stream would be useful knowledge,
Aivas went on. Jancis, such readings can be taken from the navigator's console by activating the exterior optics, using the exam.exe code.
All the Weyrs of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey (page 249)
Wow, even in 2500 or so, when the colony ships left, they were still using file extensions and probably Windows? Impressive...

Quote of the Week: Loved and Lost
I watched Wall-E last Thursday. Wall-E and Eva spend a substantial portion of the movie hugely depressed because they have temporarily lost each other. It reminded me of the last two lines quoted here:
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
These are the last four lines of Canto 27 of In Memoriam A.H.H., by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Quote of the Week: Liberty & Safety
The current focus on fighting terrorism makes this old quote (or... something like a quote) particularly relevant.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
This is sometimes attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but WikiQuote claims that this may be a misattribution or paraphrase.
You may want similar quotes. (Yes, this isn't a new quote --- Sorry, Steph, I wanted to post this on the blog and it had already been posted to the rest of the website...)
