I'm a huge believer in evolution (not in the sense that "it happened" - anybody who doesn't believe that is either uninformed or crazy, but in the sense "the processes of evolution are really fundamental, and should probably be at least thought about in pretty much any context").

I love making friends.... it's people I can't stand.

I think the term "intellectual property" should be avoided, not because it's a bad term, but because it mixes things up that shouldn't be mixed up. There are different forms, and they hardly have anything to do with each other.

If you want an application to be portable, you don't necessarily create an abstraction layer like a microkernel so much as you program intelligently.

Portability is for people who cannot write new programs.

There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works but only want to use it is not only a tribute to how good Linux is, but it also brings up issues that I would never have thought of otherwise.

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