More quotes by Linus Torvalds
The correct form factor for a laptop is obviously 12 and 2 lbs, and I don't understand why everybody gets that wrong.
Linus Torvalds
Helsinki isn't all that bad. It's a very nice city, and it's cold really only in wintertime.
Linus Torvalds
I don't go to conferences quite as much as I used to: having a child and movin away from the university leaves me with less time, but I've tried to balance things out - not just spending time with Linux all the time, but having a real job and a real life at the same time.
Linus Torvalds
My name is Linus, and I am your God.
Linus Torvalds
If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over, the end result is bad.
Linus Torvalds
The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.
Linus Torvalds
It was such a relief to program in user mode for a change. Not having to care about the small stuff is wonderful.
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.
Linus Torvalds
Software is like sex. It's only good when it's for free.
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
Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.
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
I don't actually go to that many conferences. I do that a couple of times a year. Normally, I am not recognized people don't throw their panties at me. I'm a perfectly normal person sitting in my den just doing my job.
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
In many cases the user interface to a program is the most important part for a commercial company: whether the programs works correctly or not seems to be secondary.
Linus Torvalds
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 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
Linus Torvalds
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
Linus Torvalds
When I do programming in my free time and for my own enjoyment, I really want to have a kind of protection: knowing that when I improve a program those improvements will continue to be available to me and others in future versions of the program.
Linus Torvalds
I see myself as a technical person who chose a great project and a great way of doing that project.
Linus Torvalds
When somebody who is different shows himself to be different in a good way, that's how development happens.
Linus Torvalds
