 |  |  | #3326 |  | "Data is a lot like humans:  It is born.  Matures.  Gets married to other data, divorced. Gets old.  One thing that it doesn't do is die.  It has to be killed."
 -- Arthur Miller
 
 |  |  |  | #3327 |  | "People should have access to the data which you have about them.  There should be a process for them to challenge any inaccuracies."
 -- Arthur Miller
 
 |  |  |  | #3328 |  | "Although Poles suffer official censorship, a pervasive secret police and laws similar to those in the USSR, there are
 thousands of underground publications, a legal independent
 Church, private agriculture, and the East bloc's first and only
 independent trade union federation, NSZZ Solidarnosc, which is
 an affiliate of both the International Confederation of Free
 Trade Unions and the World Confederation of Labor.  There is
 literally a world of difference between Poland - even in its
 present state of collapse - and Soviet society at the peak of
 its "glasnost."  This difference has been maintained at great
 cost by the Poles since 1944.
 -- David Phillips, SUNY at Buffalo, about establishing a
 gateway from EARN (Eurpoean Academic Research Network)
 to Poland
 
 |  |  |  | #3329 |  | "There is also a thriving independent student movement in Poland, and thus there is a strong possibility (though no
 guarantee) of making an EARN-Poland link, should it ever come
 about, a genuine link - not a vacuum cleaner attachment for a
 Bloc information gathering apparatus rationed to trusted
 apparatchiks."
 -- David Phillips, SUNY at Buffalo, about establishing a
 gateway from EARN (Eurpoean Academic Research Network)
 to Poland
 
 |  |  |  | #3330 |  | "Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind, and a step that travels unlimited roads."
 -- John Galt, in Ayn Rand's _Atlas Shrugged_
 
 |  |  |  | #3331 |  | Don't panic. 
 |  |  |  | #3332 |  | The bug stops here. 
 |  |  |  | #3333 |  | The bug starts here. 
 |  |  |  | #3334 |  | "Why waste negative entropy on comments, when you could use the same entropy to create bugs instead?"
 -- Steve Elias
 
 |  |  |  | #3335 |  | "The pathology is to want control, not that you ever get it, because of course you never do."
 -- Gregory Bateson
