To think things out properly and fairly, a fellow's got to be calm and old and toothless: when you're an old gaffer with no teeth, it's easy to say: 'damn it, boys, you mustn't bite!' but, when you've got all thirty-two teeth.

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. but do not marry them. the things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. when it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. these men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

I've never been in a situation where i had to run for my life, but i've been bitten by a lot of poisonous snakes where it was fairly painful. pythons of size have a lot of teeth in that mouth, it's a painful bite and those wounds get infected fairly easily. i've got snake wounds from these animals that have lasted quite a while where it'll ache for several days. having said that, i've been lucky; it's not like i'm looking for trouble with these animals either. it's not an envelope i'm willing to push.

How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? i don't think it's so hard, but that's my opinion, and i've written two books on how i think one should do it. the basic idea i promote is that you mustn't look for a magic bullet. you mustn't look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. and to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use.
