"Linux is only free if your time has no value, and I find that my time is better spent doing things other than the endless moving-target-upgrade dance."
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, a kernel first released on 17 September 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged as a Linux distribution, which includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries – most of which are provided by third parties – to create a complete operating system. Linux was originally designed as a c
"I dont know the counts of Unix and Linux servers. I do know that my heart sinks whenever I look under the hood in Linux. It is has been so overfed by loving hands. Over 240 system calls! Gigabytes of source! A with a 250-page user manual (not counting the language definition)! A simple page turner, less, has over 40 options and 60 commands! Its proof that open-source can breed monsters just like the commercial pros. Miraculously, though, this monster works."
Linux"Linux is not in the public domain. Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches. Thats the way that the license works."
Linux"Making Linux d was definitely the best thing I ever did."
Linux"Everything [in Unix] was small … and my heart sinks for Linux when I see the size of it. … The manual page, which really used to be a manual page, is now a small volume, with a thousand options …. We used to sit around in the Unix Room saying, What can we throw out? Why is there this option? Its often because there is some deficiency in the basic design—you didnt really hit the right design point. Instead of adding an option, think about what was forcing you to add that option."
Linux"Some people have told me they dont think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. Theyd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had."
Linux"One of the reasons that basic research is advanced most by not resorting to intellectual property is that while doing so would have questionable benefits, the costs are apparent. [...] Interestingly, even in software, this system of open collaboration has worked. Today we have the Linux , which is also based on the principle of ."
Linux"In the life of the mass-order, the culture of the generality tends to conform to the demands of the average human being. Spirituality decays through being diffused among the masses when knowledge is impoverished in every possible way by rationalisation until it becomes accessible to the crude understanding of all."
"I say this to you because we Spaniards are a forgetful people, because we are used to living for the moment, because we do not look back, because we do not know how to see the chain of heroes, because we do not contemplate the sum of sacrifices."
Francisco Franco"Sharon Tate was my best friend. Once, we were roommates. She introduced me to my husband. She was the godmother to my baby daughter who is named for her. In the six years time that I knew her, she never said an unkind word about anyone."
"Long time to see. (VS: Tapion)"
"Most mathematicians prove what they can, von Neumann proves what he wants." Once in a discussion about the rapid growth of mathematics in modern times, von Neumann was heard to remark that whereas thirty years ago a mathematician could grasp all of mathematics, that is impossible today. Someone asked him: "What percentage of all mathematics might a person aspire to understand today?" Von Neumann went into one of his five-second thinking trances, and said: "About 28 percent."
John von Neumann"Children must be free to think in all directions irrespective of the peculiar ideas of parents who often seal their childrens minds with preconceived prejudices and false concepts of past generations. Unless we are very careful, very careful indeed, and very conscientious, there is still great danger that our children may turn out to be the same kind of people we are."
