Linus Torvalds' funny quotes:
Those that can, do. Those that can't, complain.
I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people actually do.
I don't ask for money. I don't ask for sexual favors. I don't ask for access to the hardware you design and sell. I just ask for the thing I gave you: source code that I can use myself
The thing that has always disturbed me about O_DIRECT is that the whole interface is just stupid, and was probably designed by a deranged monkey on some serious mind-controlling substances. *
*In other words, it's an Oracleism
Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100 mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
See, you not only have to be a good coder to create a system like Linux, you have to be a sneaky bastard too
Talk is cheap. Show me the code.
I'm a bastard. I have absolutely no clue why people can ever think otherwise. Yet they do. People think I'm a nice guy, and the fact is that I'm a scheming, conniving bastard who doesn't care for any hurt feelings or lost hours of work, if it just results in what I consider to be a better system. And I'm not just saying that. I'm really not a very nice person. I can say "I don't care" with a straight face, and really mean it.
Software is like sex; it's better when it's free.
In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.
Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.
