Almost 70 percent of U.S. ag exports travel the upper Mississippi River and the Illinois waterway system.

Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched we shall judge ourselves more correctly.

Each and every one of the security measures we implement serves an important goal: providing safe and efficient air travel for the millions of people who rely on our aviation system every day.

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.

We need first of all the reform of our justice system. We need reform of the education system because of quality of education because of innovation and technology. And we need administrative reform. Too much bureaucracy.

Bear in mind North Korea has been the leading source a leading source of nuclear technology and of missile delivery systems to some of the world's great rogues in Iran and Syria.

Thompson and Ritchie were among the first to realize that hardware and compiler technology had become good enough that an entire operating system could be written in C and by 1978 the whole environment had been successfully ported to several machines of different types.

We may have to force people to get together in terms of picking a particular type of technology and starting to build to that technology as opposed to everybody exercising their right to buy their own system you know at will.

The Cox Report documents a systematic well-planned effort by the Chinese military at the highest levels to target and acquire technology for military modernization.

I have never come across a technology that doesn't change. This is inevitable. You have to adapt your systems as technology develops.

But my view is that you need a system at the border. You need some fencing but you need technology. You need boots on the ground. And then you need to have interior enforcement of our nation's immigration laws inside the country. And that means dealing with the employers who still consistently hire illegal labor.

What is needed now is a transformation of the major systems of production more profound than even the sweeping post-World War II changes in production technology.

For the blue-collar worker the driving force behind change was factory automation using programmable machine tools. For the office worker it's office automation using computer technology: enterprise-resource-planning systems groupware intranets extranets expert systems the Web and e-commerce.

A company can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on firewalls intrusion detection systems and encryption and other security technologies but if an attacker can call one trusted person within the company and that person complies and if the attacker gets in then all that money spent on technology is essentially wasted.

Technology is neutral: It convicts and finds innocents. We must make it a regularized part of the system giving defendants access to DNA testing and evidence whenever it might be relevant.

I think people have a vague sense that the television system is changing.

The system of nature of which man is a part tends to be self-balancing self-adjusting self-cleansing. Not so with technology.

I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se but for the Internet which is for me the nervous system of mother Earth which I see as a living creature linking up.

The Internet is a telephone system that's gotten uppity.

In software systems it is often the early bird that makes the worm.

Microsoft isn't evil they just make really crappy operating systems.

There is no education system in the world - none at all - that's better than its average teacher.

My being a teacher had a decisive influence on making language and systems as simple as possible so that in my teaching I could concentrate on the essential issues of programming rather than on details of language and notation.

When you become a parent or a teacher you turn into a manager of this whole system. You become the person controlling the bubble of innocence around a child regulating it.
