In some industry markets, high quality can be tied to making more money, but I am sure by now all of us know the computer industry is not like that.

I started working on OpenBSD, and many earlier projects, because I have always felt that vendor systems were not designed for quality.

Linux has never been about quality. There are so many parts of the system that are just these cheap little hacks, and it happens to run.

I work on OpenBSD fulltime, as the project leader. I set some directions, increase communication between the developers, and try to be involved in nearly every aspect of the base system.

I make money because I have to pay for everything apart from my school fees. My mother even makes me pay my own telephone bill.

You can't throw money at the Internet to make it work - it really is all about the quality of the content.

I think my first story sold for $550. This was in 1954, and it seemed like quite a lot of money, and I said to myself, 'Hey, I'm a professional writer now.'

Money is catching up to the technological trends transforming all aspects of society and business; entertainment, insurance, health-care, gaming, leisure, retail - all commercial and social verticals are going digital - including money itself.
