The fact is, there aren't just two sides to any issue, there's almost always a range of responses, and "it depends" is almost always the right answer in any big question.

If you still don't like it, that's OK: that's why I'm boss. I simply know better than you do.

…the Linux philosophy is "laugh in the face of danger". Oops. Wrong one. "Do it yourself". That's it.

We're not masturbating around with some research project. We never were. Even when Linux was young, the whole and only point was to make a *usable* system. It's why it's not some crazy drug-induced microkernel or other random crazy thing.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot

of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much

easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if

the choice of C were to do *nothing* but keep the C++ programmers out,

that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.

Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.

Software is like sex; it's better when it's free.

If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.

My name is Linus, and I am your God.
