No one cares what operating system you run as long as it stays up.

— Bruce Perens

That’s why the best choice of software is often no software — and barring that, as little software as you can possibly get away with, and even then, only from the most reputable and reliable sources.

— by Jeff Atwood

The greatest of rulers hardly dwells upon the minds of his subjects,
Lesser than this they forever draw near and laud him with great praise,
Lesser than this the people are held in his frightening awe and fear,
Lesser than this the people revile and curse him.
   
太上，下知有之；
其次，親而譽之；
其次畏之；
其次侮之。
