+Carter held out a hand towards the middle of the room. `See that
+fountain?' A ten-metre-wide marble wedding cake, topped with a
+winged cherub wrestling a serpent, duly appeared. Water cascaded
+down from a gushing wound in the cherub's neck. Carter said, `It's
+being computed by redundancies in the sketch of the city. I can
+extract the results, because I know exactly where to look for them --
+but nobody else would have a hope in hell of picking them out.'
+
+Peer walked up to the fountain. Even as he approached, he noticed
+that the spray was intangible; when he dipped his hand in the water
+around the base he felt nothing, and the motion he made with his
+fingers left the foaming surface unchanged. They were spying on
+the calculations, not interacting with them; the fountain was a
+closed system.
+
+Carter said, `In your case, of course, nobody will need to know
+the results. Except you -- and you'll know them because you'll
+/be/ them.'

+
+At the start of any project, I'm programming primarily to please
+myself. (The two chief virtues in a programmer are laziness and
+impatience.) After a while somebody looks over my shoulder and says,
+"That's neat. It'd be neater if it did such-and-so." So the thing
+gets neater. Pretty soon (a year or two) I have an rn, a warp, a patch,
+or a perl. One of these years I'll have a metaconfig.
+
+I then say to myself, "I don't want my life's work to die when this
+computer is scrapped, so I should let some other people use this. If I
+ask my company to sell this, it'll never see the light of day, and nobody
+would pay much for it anyway. If I sell it myself, I'll be in trouble with
+my company, to whom I signed my life away when I was hired. If I give it
+away, I can pretend it was worthless in the first place, so my company
+won't care. In any event, it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission."
+
+So a freely distributable program is born.

+do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe

+
+And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you;
+ask what you can do for your country.
+
+My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you,
+but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
+
+Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world,
+ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which
+we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history

+asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's

+picked up some here and there, and one day last summer he got around
+to talking stochastic music and digital computers with one

+getting to be a signature for the group. He had found out from this

-This word flip was weird. Every recording date of McClintic's he'd
-gotten into the habit of talking electricity with the audio men and
-technicians of the studio. McClintic once couldn't have cared less
-about electricity, but now it seemed if that was helping him reach a
-bigger audience, some digging, some who would never dig, but all
-paying and those royalties keeping the Triumph in gas and McClintic
-in J. Press suits, then McClintic ought to be grateful to
-electricity, ought maybe to learn a little more about it. So he'd
-picked up some here and there, and one day last summer he got around
-to talking stochastic music and digital computers with one
-technician. Out of the conversation had come Set/Reset, which was
-getting to be a signature for the group. He had found out from this
-sound man about a two-triode circuit called a flip-flop, which when
-it turned on could be one of two ways, depending on which tube was
-conducting and which was cut off: set or reset, flip or flop.
-
-"And that," the man said, "can be yes or no, or one or zero. And
-that is what you might call one of the basic units, or specialized
-`cells' in a big `electronic brain.' "
-
-"Crazy," said McClintic, having lost him back there someplace. But
-one thing that did occur to him was if a computer's brain could go
-flip or flop, why so could a musician's. As long as you were flop,
-everything was cool. But where did the trigger-pulse come from to
-make you flip?
