Whoever came up with "hold the shift key for eight seconds to turn on 'your keyboard is buggered' mode" should be shot.

I don't have any authority over Linux other than this notion that I know what I'm doing.

I obviously think that freely available software can not only keep up with the evolution of commercial software, but often exceed what you can do commercially.

If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.

I want my office to be quiet. The loudest thing in the room - by far - should be the occasional purring of the cat.

I think the term "intellectual property" should be avoided, not because it's a bad term, but because it mixes things up that shouldn't be mixed up. There are different forms, and they hardly have anything to do with each other.

The correct form factor for a laptop is obviously 12" and 2 lbs, and I don't understand why everybody gets that wrong.
