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.

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.

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.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

Any time someone says "that's it, I'm leaving" I ask them whether they'd prefer to live under US domestic policy, or US foreign policy. As bad as things get inside an empire, they're usually worse in the protectorates.

If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works.

Mostly I use the O2 as an X terminal, however, running my apps on Linux and displaying remotely.
