Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.

I've been employed by the University of Helsinki, and they've been perfectly happy to keep me employed and doing Linux.

I very seldom worry about other systems. I concentrate pretty fully on just making Linux the best I can.

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.

I think one thing I do pretty well is not taking myself too seriously.

People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.

If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will use it.
