More quotes by Linus Torvalds
I'm a technical manager, but I don't have to take care of people. I only have to worry about technology itself.
Linus Torvalds
Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
Linus Torvalds
The idea of abstracting away the one thing that must be blindingly fast, the kernel, is inherently counter productive.
Linus Torvalds
A consumer doesn't take anything away: he doesn't actually consume anything. Giving the same thing to a thousand consumers is not really any more expensive than giving it to just one.
Linus Torvalds
Developers have the attention spans of slightly moronic woodland creatures.
Linus Torvalds
On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.
Linus Torvalds
The memory management on the PowerPC can be used to frighten small children.
Linus Torvalds
Bill Gates really seems to be much more of a business man than a technologist, while I prefer to think of Linux in technical terms rather than as a means to money. As such, I'm not very likely to make the same kind of money that Bill made.
Linus Torvalds
Modern PCs are horrible. ACPI is a complete design disaster in every way. But we're kind of stuck with it. If any Intel people are listening to this and you had anything to do with ACPI, shoot yourself now, before you reproduce.
Linus Torvalds
I really never wanted to do source control management at all and felt that it was just about the least interesting thing in the computing world .
Linus Torvalds
The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.
Linus Torvalds
I actually think that I'm a rather optimistic and happy person it's just that I'm not a very positive person, if you see the difference.
Linus Torvalds
No problem is too big it can't be run away from
Linus Torvalds
I don't think I'm unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light.
Linus Torvalds
Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.
Linus Torvalds
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
Linus Torvalds
Once you realize that documentation should be laughed at, peed upon, put on fire, and just ridiculed in general, then, and only then, have you reached the level where you can safely read it and try to use it to actually implement a driver.
Linus Torvalds
Once you start thinking more about where you want to be than about making the best product, you're screwed.
Linus Torvalds
Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.
Linus Torvalds
Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.
