Quotes
Reverse engineering cannot turn a binary product back into the original source code for the same reason that you can't turn a McDonald's hamburger back into a cow.
(Andrew Schulman, Dr. Dobb's Journal, May 01, 1994 )
"Computers are mostly used against people instead of for people; used to control people instead of to free them; Time to change all that — we need a… Peoples Computer Company."
From PCC's first newsletter (October 1972; attribution verified at one of the DDJ editors' web page). These words served as a declaration of both purpose and spirit for People's Computer Company and its subsequent publications and activities.
