The economics of the security...

The economics of the security world are all horribly, horribly nasty and are largely based on fear, intimidation and blackmail.

I never try to make any far-r...

I never try to make any far-reaching predictions, so much can happen that it simply only makes you look stupid a few years later.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease.

The way to do good basic desi...

The way to do good basic design isn't actually to be really smart about it, but to try to have a few basic concepts.

In short: just say NO TO DRUG...

In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

Security people are often the...

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.

People who are doing things for fun do things the right way by themselves.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

I have one very basic rule wh...

I have one very basic rule when it comes to "good ideas". A good idea is not an idea that solves a problem cleanly. A good idea is an idea that solves several things at the same time. The mark of good coding is not that the program does what you want, it's that it also does something that you didn't start out wanting.

Every time I see some piece of medical research saying that caffeine is good for you, I high-five myself. Because I'm going to live forever.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

Theory and practice sometimes...

Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

I don't actually follow other operating systems much. I don't compete - I just worry about making Linux better than itself, not others.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

People will realize that software is not a product; you use it to build a product.

C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much easier to generate total and utter crap with it.

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 216 quotes

Don't ever make the mistake [...

Don't ever make the mistake [of thinking] that you can design something better than what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback cycle. That's giving your intelligence much too much credit.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

I am not out to destroy Microsoft, that would be a completely unintended side effect.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

If you think penguins are fat...

If you think penguins are fat and waddle, you have never been attacked by one running at you in excess of 100 miles per hour.

Linus Torvalds 216 quotes

The fact is, there aren't jus...

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.
