In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not, I think it's just being reasonable.	Attitude, Work	101
The mark of a mature programmer is willingness to throw out code you spent time on when you realize it's pointless.		102
I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech, to use any information and technology, to purchase and use recreational drugs, to enjoy and purchase so-called 'vices', to be free of intruders, and to privacy.	Technology	103
It's always hard to predict what's coming up next. My main guess is that content creators will increasingly start using BitTorrent to distribute their own work directly.		104
You get so tired of having your work die. I just wanted to make something that people would actually use.		105
I can come off as pretty arrogant, but it's because I know I'm right. I'm very, very good at writing protocols. I've accomplished more working on my own than I ever did as part of a team.		106
With BitTorrent, the cat's out of the bag.		107
Despite my emphasis on technology, I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones, even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.		108
The next release of mainline is going to have a lot of the advanced features people want, by the way.		109
My favorite language for maintainability is Python. It has simple, clean syntax, object encapsulation, good library support, and optional named parameters.		110
Give and ye shall receive.		111
My father taught me Basic and rudimentary C, I learned everything else on my own, including studying computational complexity on my own. That's more a function of my age than anything else though - back when I was in school there were hardly any programming classes.		112
When I put my mind to it I can be a megalomaniac.		113
I've accomplished more working on my own than I ever did as part of a team.		114
