Quotes of the week

Looks good from your explanation, but I'm too tired to look at the code. It's 1AM, and the kids get up at 7. I'm not much of a hacker, I usually crash by 10PM these days ;^)
-- Linus Torvalds

And we should all digitally sign every single object too, and we should use 4096-bit PGP keys and unguessable passphrases that are at least 20 words in length. And we should then build a bunker 5 miles underground, encased in lead, so that somebody cannot flip a few bits with a ray-gun, and make us believe that the sha1's match when they don't. Oh, and we need to all wear aluminum propeller beanies to make sure that they don't use that ray-gun to make us do the modification _outselves_.
-- Linus Torvalds, not impressed by SHA worries.
