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

I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease.

Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

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

It was such a relief to program in user mode for a change. Not having to care about the small stuff is wonderful.

One of the questions I've always hated answering is how do people make money in open source. And I think that Caldera and Red Hat - and there are a number of other Linux companies going public - basically show that yes, you can actually make money in the open-source area.

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