QOTW 2: the zombie edition

It was ugly enough in <compress/mm.h> (which really should be nuked from orbit - it's the only way to be sure), but when I see it spreading, I go into full zombie-attack mode, and want to start up the chainsaw and run around naked.
-- Linus Torvalds

OK, we really really don't want that... simply because there just aren't enough zombies to go around already. Last I heard, the EPA was considering classifying them as an endangered species, only to get stuck in a bureaucratic mess if they can be classified as a "species" at all, or if they should be classified together with bread mold, toxic waste and Microsoft salesmen.
-- H. Peter Anvin

Personally I think we should all get together and agree on a framework and fix the framework to meet all of the needs and look like a swiss army hammer driver drill thing rather than having 4 options, none of which meet all the needs, and then forcing our uneducated users to choose between them. But, hey, we all know that isn't going to happen so I'll just go back to happy go lucky dream land where Linus is not running around naked with a chain saw.

Linus' Aliens quote gave me a good giggle...

His desire to be like Christian Bale in American Psycho gave me a giggle.
