This will surprise some of your readers, but my primary interest is not with computer security. I am primarily interested in writing software that works as intended.
Qmail out of the box works fine, so people will want to use it regardless of licensing restrictions, even when the software does not ship with their system software.
Science often progresses by carving out new distinctions that refine the fuzzy categories of natural language.

Mark Twain once said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
Keep in mind that imagination is at the heart of all innovation. Crush or constrain it and the fun will vanish.

We should be happy. We should be enjoying that there is all this bounty. Somebody can take an iPod and have all the world's music at their beck and call in an instant. What an amazing thing!
Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.
It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us.
Thanking you once more, I want to wish you the best of luck for your future life and to conclude by saying to you: Dream your dreams and may they come true!
