If he can't see how open source changed the world he is blind!
The reason for slow movements is about insurance... With close-source product, you have an address to go to at any point, with any problem - even it is unrelated... With open-source, you are mostly on your own... That's a thing most developers love, but most managers fear...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I thought the same thing. Just thinking about Linux and how it alone has changed things is eye opening.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well, as opposed to say, "dry ice", "shave ice", or "ice 9", yes. 
Or yak milk, now you you bring it up.

There’s an unidentified source of infrared throughout the universe. By looking at the specific wavelengths of the light, scientists think that come from carbon—but not just any carbon, a special kind where the atoms are arranged in multiple hexagonal rings. The mystery of why people like marzipan?
I guess that's still a mystery then?

Because it's the best edible thing ever created.
But then, I love raisins so I might be the strange one.

Far too simplistic!
The last two lines are you usual signature, which gives the first part of the substitution key. After applying that, the rest of the key is easy to guess:
Known:
- O ⇒ B
- r ⇒ e
- f ⇒ s
- g ⇒ t
- J ⇒ W
- v ⇒ i
- u ⇒ h
- Q ⇒ D
- n ⇒ a
- i ⇒ v
- q ⇒ d
- y ⇒ l
- h ⇒ u
- a ⇒ n
Output:
Ghis is an ekazcle sepeet Fxlce zessate.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune
Guessed:
- G ⇒ T
- p ⇒ c
- e ⇒ r
- z ⇒ m
- t ⇒ g
- F ⇒ S
- x ⇒ k
- l ⇒ y
- c ⇒ p
- k ⇒ x
Result:
This is an example secret Skype message.
