Hey, I'm a good software engineer, but I'm not exactly known for my fashion sense. White socks and sandals don't translate to 'good design sense'.

A consumer doesn't take anything away: he doesn't actually consume anything. Giving the same thing to a thousand consumers is not really any more expensive than giving it to just one.

I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the "pay for use" binary shareware programs.

I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It's the right way to do things.

I don't expect to go hungry if I decide to leave the University. Resume: Linux looks pretty good in many places.

Once you realize that documentation should be laughed at, peed upon, put on fire, and just ridiculed in general, then, and only then, have you reached the level where you can safely read it and try to use it to actually implement a driver.

Me trying to make a business around Linux would have been a total disaster.
