Random sayings, comments, rules, etc

I'm reserving this page for random sayings, truths, comments, etc.

"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored"

Smith's Rules of Design 
Rule 1 : If you want to make something 10 times cheaper, remove 90 percent of the material.
Rule 2 : Study the problem - carry 50 pounds of wood on your head and you'll understand the beauty of coal.
Rule 3 : Transfering technology is good, transferring the skill to improve it is better
Rule 4 : Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

"Describe for me everything in this room in such detail that I could create it from your instructions, exactly, as it is now.  How many pages would that come out to be?  Now take a picture."

"Some people live prepared, others die surprised"

"Everyone's got talent, it's the attention to detail that seperates you from everyone else."

"When everything seems darkest and all hope is lost ... stop fighting fair"

About the author

Like the description says, at my core, I'm a scientist and engineer.  I came from humble beginnings on a 486DX2 Packard Hell playing doom2 on IPX to in a small time retail shop and got into hardware (ISO layers FTW!) and it was all downhill from there.  I'm infinitely curious about almost everything and always wanting to know.

According to personality tests (real ones) I classify under "Rational" more specifically, a Fieldmarshal.  I think there's something to that.
