"Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer."
Science
"If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works."
First
"Because, you see, what I want to do is to commoditize the OS. I want to have access to all the applications that I need to do the things that I need to do, regardless."
Want
"Mostly I use the O2 as an X terminal, however, running my apps on Linux and displaying remotely."
Linux
"Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them?"
