Computer
A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.

If you lie to the computer, it will get you.
Perry Farrar (1985) attributed to Farrar in John Bentley (1985) "Bumper-Sticker Computer Science". In: Communications of the ACM, Vol 28. Nr.9, p. 899
Programming
Testing can only prove the presence of bugs, not their absence.
