+An extremely quotable talk by Brian Cantrill from 2011.
+
+Some of my favourite lines:
+
+> Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison
+
+> What you think of Oracle is even truer than what you think it is: "Shit mediocrity, inflict misery, lie our asses off, screw our customers, and make a whole shitload of money"
+
+> The lawnmower doesn't care about OpenSolaris - the lawnmower doesn't have empathy
+
+> Because I didn't work at Oracle anymore, I couldn't quit over this… I wanted to quit over it, but I couldn't
+
+> There is a file system crisis in Linux and KVM… it's clown college
+
+> If you jailbreak out of QEMU in our KVM implementation, you just find yourself in a zone. Congratulations, you've now burrowed out into a much more secure cell
+
+> I didn't think this Illumos hackathon was going to work. Who's gonna hack on an operating system? It's complicated. It's like, "let's go hack on a 747-800!" You don't do that! It might crash!
+
+Go watch the whole thing, it's great.
