Num Lock Function

Famous quotes containing the words lock and/or function:

    and wife or husband
    who does not lock the door of the marriage
    against you, finds you
    not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
    the light of the moon on flesh and hair.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
    Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
