In Linux Weekly News Elizabeth Coolbaugh paraphrases the ideals section of Linus's keynote:
It doesn't hurt to have some morals. Basically, I'm a very selfish person and I really don't care about all of you. I care about doing what I enjoy.
This is why Linux is so cool. Can you imagine Bill Gates honestly describing his motivations as anything other than "I will crush you all because I'm insecure and was picked on in grade school"?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
