If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works.
From Jamie Zawinski
I think Linux is a great thing, in the big picture. It's a great hacker's tool, and it has a lot of potential to become something more.
Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.
My one purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
Linux is only free if your time has no value.
I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot.
Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!
Nothing stands still. The real question is can you change it?
Because, you see, what I want to do is to commoditize the OS. I want to have access to all the applications that I need to do the things that I need to do, regardless.
I eat and drink at my desk, but I'm a tidy eater.
