More quotes by Linus Torvalds
I do get my pizzas paid for by Linux indirectly.
Linus Torvalds
I seldom get self-righteous, and even when I am being impolite (almost always on purpose - there's an art to insulting people, too), I tend to try to not be too serious about it. And most of the time it means that I can take criticism constructively, and sometimes just change my opinion on the fly and laugh at myself over having turned on a dime.
Linus Torvalds
I've never regretted not making Linux shareware: I really don't like the pay for use binary shareware programs.
Linus Torvalds
And 1.1.81 is officially BugFree(tm), so if you receive any bug-reports on it, you know they are just evil lies.
Linus Torvalds
It's a personality trait: from the very beginning, I knew what I was concentrating on. I'm only doing the kernel - I always found everything around it to be completely boring.
Linus Torvalds
The NIH syndrome (Not Invented Here) is a disease.
Linus Torvalds
Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.
Linus Torvalds
People enjoy the interaction on the Internet, and the feeling of belonging to a group that does something interesting: that's how some software projects are born.
Linus Torvalds
Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
Linus Torvalds
I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.
Linus Torvalds
Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.
Linus Torvalds
Non-technical questions sometimes don't have an answer at all.
Linus Torvalds
I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.
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.
Linus Torvalds
A computer is like air conditioning - it becomes useless when you open Windows
Linus Torvalds
Turtles are very stable and have been around forever. But they have problems adapting. When humans came along, turtles came under serious threat. Biodiversity is good, and I think it is good in technology as well.
Linus Torvalds
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
Linus Torvalds
Eventually the revolutionaries become the established culture, and then what will they do
Linus Torvalds
The big thing about distributed source control is that it makes one of the main issues with SCM's go away - the politics around who can make changes. BitKeeper showed that you can avoid that by just giving everybody their own source repository.
Linus Torvalds
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.
