I have argued above that we cannot prevent the Singularity that its coming is an inevitable consequence of the humans' natural competitiveness and the possibilities inherent in technology.

The U.S. government knew that China wanted to acquire sensitive U.S. technology and instead of implementing a policy to prevent them from acquiring the information the government all but gave them an invitation to take our equipment and designs.

My intention was to enroll at McGill University but an unexpected series of events led me to study physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Today 80 percent of all the oil that comes out of the Gulf is from 1 000 feet or more and today almost a third of it is more than 5 000 feet below the surface. What hasn't happened is the safety and the ability to respond to a negative event such as this blowout has been far outrun by the technology of drilling itself. We need to close that gap.

Technology is a wonderful tool but also if used incorrectly a horrible tool. We're fascinated by all aspects of it whatever makes our human lives easier on the planet but eventually there will have to be some sort of merger. The fascination isn't going to die down.

The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology but it will date it. By definition. Eventually it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.

I watch too much cable I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout - but I know that's not a view held by many nor were the views I was frustrated about.

I think eventually I want to become a teacher like my father wanted to be and hopefully positively influence the next generation.

I need a teacher quite as much as Helen. I know the education of this child will be the distinguishing event of my life if I have the brains and perseverance to accomplish it.

A teacher is never too smart to learn from his pupils. But while runners differ basic principles never change. So it's a matter of fitting your current practices to fit the event and the individual. See what's good for you might not be worth a darn for the next guy.

I never wore a tie voluntarily even though I was forced to wear one for photos when I was young and for official events at school. I used to wrap my tie in a newspaper and whenever the teacher checked I would quickly put it on again. I'm not used to it. Most Bolivians don't wear ties.

Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people there is always some bend to it.

There's many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

The delusions of self-love cannot be prevented but intellectual misconceptions as to the means of achieving success may be corrected.

I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event a lot more my event.

To this day most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper although that's the event I had more success in.

Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person.

Eventually with success I started to feel more and more isolated - like I didn't have a community of artists.

Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest it is not empire it is not foreign bases it is not domination. It is simply put just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam.

The very strength of a nation eventually proves to be its weakness.

Conscience is a coward and those faults it has not strength enough to prevent it seldom has justice enough to accuse.

Sports betting is all about money management so the most money won on one event is not the most important thing.

In the States tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.

We knew it was going to be the biggest event scheduled in the history of women's sports but we didn't ever fathom we would be playing before sold-out stadiums all over the country.
