Portability is for people who cannot write new programs.
Linus Torvalds
The portability of the book, like that of the easel-painting, added much to the new culture of individualism.
Marshall McLuhan
Writing a portable OS is not much harder than a nonportable one, and all systems should be written with portability in mind these days.
Andrew S. Tanenbaum
While most people can talk rationally about kernel design and portability, the issue of free-ness is 100% emotional.
Andrew S. Tanenbaum
This country now possesses the strongest credit in the world. The full consequences of a default or even the serious prospect of default by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate. Denigration of the full faith and credit of the United States would have substantial effects on the domestic financial markets and on the value of the dollar in exchange markets. The Nation can ill afford to allow such a result. The risks, the cost, the disruptions, and the incalculable damage lead me to but one conclusion: the Senate must pass this legislation before the Congress adjourns.
Ronald Reagan
