Language is one of the fundamental principles of human understanding. It is the way we interact with each other and how we grasp the world we live in. Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

Any program is only as good as it is useful.

I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.

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

What commercialism has brought to Linux has been the incentive to make a good distribution that is easy to use and that has all the packaging issues worked out.

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

I'd like to point out that I don't think that there is anything fundamentally superior in the GPL as compared to the BSD license, for example. But the GPL is what I want to program with, because unlike the BSD license it guarantees that anybody who works on the project in the future will also contribute their changes back to the community.
