I think the Macintosh proves that everyone can have a bitmapped display.

But no, I don't generally have trouble with spelling mistakes.

I started to write a new editor not too long ago and had it about half done after two days.

Systems are going to get a lot more sophisticated.

I think the Macintosh proves that everyone can have a bitmapped display.

Document preparation systems will also require large screen displays.

Well, limbo is not a good place to be.

Bitmap display is media compatible with dot matrix or laser printers.

I just don't like to lose what's in the window.

I got tired of people complaining that it was too hard to use UNIX because the editor was too complicated.

Interleaf is based on the formatting process.

The point is that you want to have a system that is responsive.

But with Interleaf I don't even have a spell program.

The fundamental problem with vi is that it doesn't have a mouse and therefore you've got all these commands.

I think editors have to come out of a certain kind of community.

I remember right after Carter got elected, I was sitting in my apartment in Albany, CA, on a Saturday listening to people call Carter and ask stupid questions while I designed the screen editor.

The reason I use ed is that I don't want to lose what's on the screen.

I think the hard thing about all these tools is that it takes a fair amount of effort to become proficient.

Interleaf is very nice. I expect there to be a lot of competition for programs like that.

That lack of programmability is probably what ultimately will doom vi. It can't extend its domain.

So Chuck and I looked at that and we hacked on em for a while, and eventually we ripped the stuff out of em and put some of it into what was then called en, which was really ed with some em features.

It is formatted, and I'm tired of using vi. I get really bored.

I think multiple levels of undo would be wonderful, too.

I had almost rewritten all of the display code for windows, and that was when I gave up.

I think it killed the performance on a lot of the systems in the Labs for years because everyone had their own copy of it, but it wasn't being shared, and so they wasted huge amounts of memory back when memory was expensive.

I wish we hadn't used all the keys on the keyboard.

I think the wonderful thing about vi is that it has such a good market share because we gave it away.

I think one of the interesting things is that vi is really a mode-based editor.

I was surprised about vi going in, though, I didn't know it was in System V.

There are always more smart people outside your company than within it.

At each increase of knowledge, as well as on the contrivance of every new tool, human labour becomes abridged.

I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.

Britain has the most creative, dynamic and nimble fashion industry in the world.

We are probably nearing the limit of all we can know about astronomy.

Me personally, I wouldn't put my kids on television. But to each his own.

The older you get, the more fragile you understand life to be. I think that's good motivation for getting out of bed joyfully each day.

I'm not the judge. You know, God didn't tell me to go around judging everybody.

The way corporate media likes to portray America is as a homogenous whole that high-five's each other at the Super Bowl. But what we have is a grotesque disparity between the rich and poor that is only getting wider.

People see fashion as superficial and shallow, but it's actually not. As an industry, it can really change how things happen and change trade for countries that really need it.

My undergraduate studies at Brown and graduate degrees from Harvard prepared me for a multifaceted career as an actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist.

My goal is to invite readers to think along with me and draw their own conclusions.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Guitar gigs were everywhere in the '50s, and I started diddling around so I could keep working. Playing honky-tonk, simple stuff. I took a few gigs with an organ band that put me out front.

What ultimately happened is that my country had a war. I think it would be extraordinary, as a writer, not to want to write about that.

For ideas to prevail, many of their defenders have to die in obscurity. Their anonymous influence makes itself felt.

Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on.

My interests are not really with television, per se.

Orange juice from concentrate is labeled. Food coloring Red #5 is labeled. Fish are labeled as to whether they've been previously frozen. To a consumer, there's no plausible reason why these factors should be on a food ingredient label while the presence of GMOs shouldn't be.

The best critics do not worry about what the author might think. That would be like a detective worrying about what a suspect might think. Instead, they treat the reader as an intelligent friend, and describe the book as honestly, and as entertainingly, as possible.
