One of the reasons that I really don't mind that people are selling Linux commercially is exactly because it does make me feel good that people use the product.

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

The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.

I actually think that I'm a rather optimistic and happy person; it's just that I'm not a very positive person, if you see the difference.

I am pragmatic. That which works, works, and theory can go screw itself. However, my pragmatism also extends to maintainability, which is why I also want it done well.

Being open source meant that I could work on the technical side (along with lots of other people), and others who had the interest and inclination could start up companies around it.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.
