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

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.

I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.

Flattery is refined deception it is the froth of language it is the alcohol of social intercourse it is the prescription of the subtle and the nectar of fools.

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.

Suning from a management concept and technology point of view isn't simply an appliance company.

Sometimes your dreams come true.

Pope Francis has stressed humility and austerity - a far cry, according to many, from the predecessor's bling and Ferragamo shoes - those were pretty entertaining. And he's translating all of that into a policy agenda.

I've got about $30,000 in chips, not near enough.

I am pretty much a sucker any really bad reality television.

Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

I'm the girl who's like, 'Why wear heels when I can wear tennis shoes and be comfortable?' I've always been the girl who's like, 'Let's go play basketball.'

Oracle is obsessed with security. It's an absolute requirement for all our products. The real security issue is when customers take older products that were not built for the Internet, and kind of rack them and put them on the Internet.

The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.

I've been working on my own music. I've been writing an album, stuff that's kind of personal to my own life.

One of the ironies of a conference dedicated to all things digital and virtual is that the best ways to connect with people are surprisingly old-school. Social media tools can improve the odds of a serendipitous encounter at SXSW, but old-fashioned hustle, palm-pressing and - above all - creativity go a long way.

I ran into a couple of guys who were boxers. They talked me into working out at their gym. I became obsessed with boxing and the idea of becoming a champion.

Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive

The cancer is in remission, and I will shortly go on a drug maintenance regimen to keep it there.

You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

America is a place where you can be born into a low-income household but still lift yourself up, and it doesn't matter what color you are.
