I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.

A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows

Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.

Finnish companies tend to be very traditional, not taking many risks. Silicon Valley is completely different: people here really live on the edge.

Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.

Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it.

Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

What commercialism has brought to Linux has been the incentive to make a good distribution that is easy to use and that has all the packaging issues worked out.

Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.

You panic and you rage, then this calm settles over you, and you remake yourself.

What is the good of telling a community that it has every liberty except the liberty to make laws? The liberty to make laws is what constitutes a free people.

How forcible are right words!

That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible

I destroy things every day in the act of working and often recall a picture I had considered finished in order to rework it.

I live without regrets. There are certain things I have done, mistakes that I made, that I would change, but I don't regret them at all, because I've learnt from them.

My father's sister never married in order to raise me.

I don't know who took what. That is pretty private with an individual.

To be a human is to be destroyed.

If we can't "love the sinner; hate the sin" then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.
