Emerson is wonderfully quotable, and I'm an (improbable) admirer of the Transcendentalists. Particularly apposite with 8.2: "Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds; given consistency a great soul has nothing to do." Regarding Microsoft: "The louder they talk of honour, the faster we count the spoons." Regarding Linux: "All life is an experiment, and the more experiments you make the better."
