On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.

When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, for free.'

Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.

See, you not only have to be a good coder to create a system like Linux, you have to be a sneaky bastard too.

I like to think that I've been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product.

I can mostly laugh at myself and this whole mess called "Linux developers," which means that I get along with most people and most people get along with me.

A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows
