Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.

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.

I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It's the right way to do things.

Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.

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

An individual developer like me cares about writing the new code and making it as interesting and efficient as possible. But very few people want to do the testing.

I don't try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don't really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different.
