When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, *for free*".

We come to bury DOS, not to praise it.

Be warned that typing \fBkillall \fIname\fP may not have the desired effect on non-Linux systems, especially when done by a privileged user.

Note that if I can get you to "su and say" something just by asking, you have a very serious security problem on your system and you should look into it.

How should I know if it works? That's what beta testers are for. I only coded it.

I develop for Linux for a living, I used to develop for DOS. Going from DOS to Linux is like trading a glider for an F117.

Absolutely nothing should be concluded from these figures except that no conclusion can be drawn from them.

If the future navigation system [for interactive networked services on the NII] looks like something from Microsoft, it will never work.

Problem solving under Linux has never been the circus that it is under AIX.

I don't know why, but first C programs tend to look a lot worse than first programs in any other language (maybe except for fortran, but then I suspect all fortran programs look like `firsts')

On a normal ascii line, the only safe condition to detect is a 'BREAK' - everything else having been assigned functions by Gnu EMACS.

By golly, I'm beginning to think Linux really *is* the best thing since sliced bread.

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you.

Oh, I've seen copies [of Linux Journal] around the terminal room at The Labs.

If you want to travel around the world and be invited to speak at a lot of different places, just write a Unix operating system.

...and scantily clad females, of course. Who cares if it's below zero outside.

...you might as well skip the Xmas celebration completely, and instead sit in front of your linux computer playing with the all-new-and-improved linux kernel version.

Besides, I think Slackware sounds better than 'Microsoft,' don't you?

All language designers are arrogant. Goes with the territory...

And the next time you consider complaining that running Lucid Emacs 19.05 via NFS from a remote Linux machine in Paraguay doesn't seem to get the background colors right, you'll know who to thank.
