'Regression testing'? What's that? If it compiles, it is good; if it boots up, it is perfect.

XML is crap. Really. There are no excuses. XML is nasty to parse for humans, and it's a disaster to parse even for computers. There's just no reason for that horrible crap to exist.

Well, with a subject like this, I'm afraid I'll have to reply. Apologies to minix-users who have heard enough about linux anyway. I'd like to be able to just 'ignore the bait', but … time for some serious flamefesting!
-
Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
-
I realize that lawyers are brought up (probably from small children) to think that 'technically true' is what matters, but when you make public PR statements, they should be more than 'technically' true. They should be honest. There's a big f*cking difference.
-
Making Linux GPL'd was definitely the best thing I ever did.
-
Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does idiotic things like that? How did they not die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?

I think people can generally trust me, but they can trust me exactly because they know they don't have to.

Portability is for people who cannot write new programs.
-
I allege that SCO is full of it.
-
If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.
-
… I really hate big laptops. I can't understand people who lug around 15' (or 17'!) monsters. The right weight for a laptop is 1kg, no more.
-
There are literally several levels of SCO being wrong. And even if we were to live in that alternate universe where SCO would be right, they'd still be wrong.
-
It's a bird … it's a plane … no, it's KernelMan, faster than a speeding bullet, to your rescue. Doing new kernel versions in under 5 seconds flat …

In response to 4 Good job. More public indecency, less TSA, that's what I say.
-
An infinite number of monkeys typing into GNU emacs would never make a good program.
-
On the internet nobody can hear you being subtle.
-
I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.
-
Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)
-
It was such a relief to program in user mode for a change. Not having to care about the small stuff is wonderful.
-
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.
-
None of this 'there is no way to continue' bullshit. Because it is pure and utter SHIT.
-
C++ is in that inconvenient spot where it doesn't help make things simple enough to be truly usable for prototyping or simple GUI programming, and yet isn't the lean system programming language that C is that actively encourages you to use simple and direct constructs.
-
We don't merge kernel code just because user space was written by a retarded monkey on crack.
