I am a purist, Dennis Richie has done more for computer science than most of the rest put together.
Steve jobs made a cake out of the knowledge of others and iced it with his crappy consumerism |

| For a text editor, I use (g)vim. For the OS I use Linux as thats whats on my laptop or Free/OpenBSD at home. As most of what I do is simple C or perl/tk the OS does not matter too much. |

That they can look you in the eye and lie to your face, knowing full well that they know that you know they are lying and carrying on regardless.
It like walking into a wall repeatedly on the assumption that their belief will turn the wall into a door |

| I am competitive in terms of correctness. I dont give a damn about being the best, the fastest or the most productive but I will always be the most correct in terms of good practice and efficiency at work. I am not sure if this is competitive or pedantic. |

I have a IBM M, good keyboard but noisy, plus due to the key height I found it difficult swapping to another keyboard after typing a lot on it.
My favorite keyboard was the SGI granite, shame I spilt a can of beer on it ! |

I have used a BSD for years, but have to use Linux for some apps that I cant use on BSD eg for CAD.
The best hardware is non x86, I have found Sun and SGI to make the best hardware. |
