There are 2 hard problems in computer science: caching, naming, and off-by-1 errors.
Some things Man was never meant to know. For everything else, there's Google.
Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.
To err is human... to really foul up requires the root password.
Programmers are tools for converting caffeine into code.
The only problem with troubleshooting is that sometimes trouble shoots back.
Unix is user-friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends are.
If you don't want to be replaced by a computer, don't act like one.
Better to be a geek than an idiot.
The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.
If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

"... being a Linux user is sort of like living in a house inhabited by a large family of carpenters and architects. Every morning when you wake up, the house is a little different.

"What happens when you read some doc and either it doesn't answer your question or is demonstrably wrong? In Linux, you say "Linux sucks" and go read the code. In Windows/Oracle/etc you say "Windows sucks" and start banging your head against the wall." —Denis Vlasenko on lkml
Вот такая вот подборочка. Я старался не включать сюда достаточно известные цитаты, но парочка, кажется, таки проскочила — пардон. И да, извините за стену текста!
