When somebody who is different shows himself to be different in a good way, that's how development happens.

People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.

Other people have other goals, and sometimes the BSD style licenses are better for those goals. I personally tend to prefer the GPL, but that really doesn't mean that the GPL is any way inherently superior - it depends on what you want the license to do.

In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people.

I'm a big non-believer in manual driver and kernel configuration, be it visual or not.

I actually don't believe that everybody should necessarily try to learn to code. I think it's reasonably specialized, and nobody really expects most people to have to do it. It's not like knowing how to read and write and do basic math.

I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people actually do.
