1327 ;;Quote: analog systems can be reliable because they are continuous; small input changes cause small output changes
1328 ;;Quote: computer hardware is reliable because its repetitive structure does not need exhaustive testing
1328 ;;Quote: software systems are neither repetitive nor continuous; large number of discrete states
1329 ;;Quote: a reliable system must be tested extensively under realistic conditions; a strategic defense system can not be tested
1329 ;;Quote: it is only through modifications that software becomes reliable
1329 ;;Quote: most projects based on 'think like a computer'; but too much to remember and the rules become too complex
1330 ;;Quote: programming is a trial and error craft
1332 ;;Quote: one form of artificial intelligence consists of solving problems that have required human intelligence
1332+;;Quote: another form of artificial intelligence uses heuristic or rule-base programming to solve a problem like a human seems to solves it
1332 ;;Quote: heuristic or rule-base programming is dangerous because the rules are developed by trial and error; hard to predict effects
1333 ;;Quote: artificial intelligence is like intelligence just as artificial flowers are like flowers; from a distance they may look alike
