I don't get much sense of reward from having discovered how to get the Foo card to coexist with the Bar card.

If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works.

My one purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.

See, unlike most hackers, I get little joy out of figuring out how to install the latest toy.

I don't get much sense of reward from having discovered how to get the Foo card to coexist with the Bar card.

Mostly I use the O2 as an X terminal, however, running my apps on Linux and displaying remotely.

Because, you see, what I want to do is to commoditize the OS. I want to have access to all the applications that I need to do the things that I need to do, regardless.

Using these toolkits is like trying to make a bookshelf out of mashed potatoes.

Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!

On the other hand, there would be some value in different folks getting together to share expertise and technology; but to the listener, it wouldn't necessarily seem like a single station in the traditional sense.

I eat and drink at my desk, but I'm a tidy eater.

I use a really simple calendar program on my computer.

I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot.

I think Linux is a great thing, in the big picture. It's a great hacker's tool, and it has a lot of potential to become something more.

Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them?

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

Nothing stands still. The real question is can you change it?

You can always affect things - so can you change it in a way that will make you as happy with it in the future as you were in the past? Maybe it won't be the same, but it might be something else you also like.

If you give a hacker a new toy the first thing hell do is take it apart to figure out how it works.

The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.

To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness.

Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.

Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles.

We need to work together, on a bipartisan basis, to create new jobs, increase job training, enact real and substantive middle class tax relief, and reward companies that create jobs at home.

Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another.

America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.

Love is life's end, but never ending. Love is life's wealth, never spent, but ever spending. Love's life's reward, rewarded in rewarding.

For me, the risks in terms of opening that brewpub were fairly high. I put my house up as collateral, I invested the liquid money I had and two years of my time to get it over, but that's really not much of a risk for what the potential reward was if it worked.

Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.

It is Basic Management 101 that if you reward failure you are going to get more failure, and if you want success you should reward success. But if you look at the way this administration has approached national security, they have kind of got that principle backwards.

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.

Man's unique reward, however, is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, man survives by adjusting his background to himself.

I've always associated the moment of writing with a moment of lift, of joy, of unexpected reward.

Awards are so unnecessary, because I think we get so much out of our work just by doing it. The work is a reward in itself.

The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.

Certainly, the Bush Administration will rely in the first instance on its friends, since it would be both illogical and counterproductive to reward its adversaries.

He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.

Well, I'm telling them two things. One is that, look, this is going to be something when the American people realize - once it's passed - that, A, it does take care of preexisting conditions; B, you're insurance rates aren't going to skyrocket; C, the insurance companies aren't going to be running the show like they were before; D, you're going to be in a position where you can keep your insurance that you have. That once the American public realizes that, you're going to get a reward for this. They're going to be rewarded.

The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
