To be honest, the fact that people trust you gives you a lot of power over people. Having another person's trust is more powerful than all other management techniques put together.
From Linus Torvalds
If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
The Linux philosophy is 'Laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong One. 'Do it yourself'. Yes, that's it.
I'd much rather have 15 people arguing about something than 15 people splitting into two camps, each side convinced it's right and not talking to the other.
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
I actually think that I'm a rather optimistic and happy person; it's just that I'm not a very positive person, if you see the difference.
When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, for free.'
My name is Linus, and I am your God.
Any program is only as good as it is useful.
That's what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It's a positive feedback cycle.
