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
I claim that Mach people (and apparently FreeBSD) are incompetent idiots.
Linus Torvalds
By staying neutral, I end up being somebody that everybody can trust. Even if they don't always agree with my decisions, they know I'm not working against them.
Linus Torvalds
On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.
Linus Torvalds
People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.
Linus Torvalds
People will realize that software is not a product you use it to build a product.
Linus Torvalds
The idea of abstracting away the one thing that must be blindingly fast, the kernel, is inherently counter productive.
Linus Torvalds
The fact is, there aren't just two sides to any issue, there's almost always a range of responses, and it depends is almost always the right answer in any big question.
