Excusing bad programming is a shooting offence, no matter what the circumstances.

All operating systems sucks, but Linux just sucks less

There's innovation in Linux. There are some really good technical features that I'm proud of. There are capabilities in Linux that aren't in other operating systems.

I don't think commercialization is the answer to anything. It's just one more facet of Linux, and not the deciding one by any means.

I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'

The thing I love about diving is the flowing feeling. I like a sport where the whole point is to move as little as humanly possible so your air supply will last longer. That's my kind of sport. Where the amount of effort spent is absolutely minimal.
