Fun: Linus Torvalds’ quotes Top 10

Linus Torvalds quotesThe idea to write a post regarding the funny Linusquotes came into my mind after I came across this wiki page. So, let me suggest TOP 10 list of his quotes:

Really, I’m not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.

Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)

Software is like sex; it’s better when it’s free.

Is “I hope you all die a painful death” too strong?

Most days I wake up thinking I’m the luckiest bastard alive.

An infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU emacs would never make a good program.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

I’m a bastard. I have absolutely no clue why people can ever think otherwise. Yet they do. People think I’m a nice guy, and the fact is that I’m a scheming, conniving bastard who doesn’t care for any hurt feelings or lost hours of work, if it just results in what I consider to be a better system. And I’m not just saying that. I’m really not a very nice person. I can say “I don’t care” with a straight face, and really mean it.

Those that can, do. Those that can’t, complain.

You see. I don’t think any new thoughts. I think thoughts that other people have thought, and I rearrange them. But Sara, she thinks thoughts that never were before.
