@phooky @billiegrace Clark observed "If one considers the millions of years of pre-history, and the rapid technological advancement occurring now, if you apply that to a hypothetical alien race, one can figure the probabilities of how advanced the explorers will find them. The conclusion is we will find apes or angels, but not humans." https://www. projectrho.com/public_html/roc ket/alientech.php

Unix historians: who changed the /usr/games/lib/fortunes.dat file between 4.1cBSD and 4.2BSD to attribute Ken Thompson instead of Brian Kernighan with creating a car for the experienced driver with a single unlabeled warning light? #retrocomputing

diff between two versions of the fortune file with the same joke, except that one says "Brian Kernighan has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gage, nor any of the numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver makes any mistake, a giant "?" lights up in the center of the dashboard.  "The experienced driver", he says, "will usually know what's wrong."
" and the other says "Ken Thompson has ...". Both of them are original Unix developers with a reputation for terse programs.

@cibomahto I happened to remember reading the quote in the Unix Hater's Handbook, which attributes it to Ken Thompson. However, the 2.11BSD fortunes file accuses Brian Kernighan, but changed it to ken in 4.2 and back to bwk in 4.3, so now you've nerd sniped me into tracking down the commits.

Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gauge, nor any of the other numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver makes a mistake, a giant “?” lights up in the center of the dashboard. “The experienced driver,” says Thompson, “will usually know what’s wrong.
