I often compare open source to science. To where science took this whole notion of developing ideas in the open and improving on other peoples' ideas and making it into what science is today and the incredible advances that we have had. And I compare that to witchcraft and alchemy, where openness was something you didn't do.

I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease.

Developers have the attention spans of slightly moronic woodland creatures.

That's what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It's a positive feedback cycle.

Any program is only as good as it is useful.

I started Linux as a desktop operating system. And it's the only area where Linux hasn't completely taken over. That just annoys the hell out of me.

If it is relevant there is always somebody else out there.
