On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. -Charles Babbage, mathematician and computer scientist (1791-1871)

As a computer programmer by trade, I couldn't resist this quote.
