That is so funny and the Linux guy looks just like my neighbour!

FYI, the Linux guy is Jay Maynard, the Tron Guy

The ability of the internet user to make his/her own inferences by cross referencing multiple sources basically makes the iconic journalist largely moot.

Moreover, the internet has the Tron Guy...the newspapers/journalists don't stand much of a chance.

I guess the tronguy will get lucky with this device http://www.tronguy.net/

This is because the FAA has a maximum VH of 87 knot limit (100 mph) for the current sports license.
This is not correct. The sport pilot license is good for any light sport aircraft, with at most an additional signoff required for those with a Vh of over 87 knots but less than 120 knots. My AMD Zodiac XLi is a light sport aircraft, with a Vh of 120 knots. See the definition of "light sport aircraft" in section 1.1 of the FAA's rules.

Like the Tron guy (you know the guy who made his own budget tron suit). http://www.tronguy.net/images/headshot.jpg I think I would be cool with Terry if he wasn't such a putz or a-hole and he had a tron suit on or something nutty when they brought him to jail. Overall, he gives people the sysadmin stereotype they all want - hostile, paranoid and a jerk, so it got a lot of play in the media. It is frustrating because many of us fight this stereotype constantly and make huge gains only to have a Terry Childs attitude reinforce the negative stereotype of a sysadmin who does not have a sense of who and what he is working for. Yet, even with all of that, I think if he could get in a Tron suit of some sort, I would give him another shot and it could twist the stereotype into a crazy geek rather than an asshole geek.

Here is a still from the film..

The whole digitization thing is a pain though. What with all the giant laser dividing you up in cubes and all. Also the spandex uniform you have to wear is not easy on the ego. Though it is pretty cool how the flight attendants worship you like a god and you get inexplicable superpowers.

I bet the Tron Guy is next. Spandex styling will be set back 20 years.

I think the casting decisions for Tron Final Cut is pretty cut & dry.

What if your body is not aesthetically pleasing in a skin tight suit? Is there going to be segregation when trying to leave Earth? At least big bulky suits can help conceal extra bulges and such.

Um you mean like this Tron Guy?

I'm still amazed this guy was stupid enough to do a side view in the leotard.....he's a leotard reotard...

I've been on that flight (courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which got to show video of me losing my lunch in return). It's a lot of fun. I hope Professor Hawking enjoys his ride.

Anyone who wants to can go on Zero G's flights, as long as they don't have a medical problem that gets in the way - and they have a doctor on staff who goes over your medical history before you go. All it takes is $3750.

Here are additional photos.

You forgot to mention your reference. Related questions.

Tron guy beat you to it...

You're too late

I bet this guy is happy

When I first saw the article headline, I swear it read "PC's Role Key in New Formal Wear"

I had about 3 seconds of excitement thinking about playing Tux Racer on my Tux, customized holographic clothing a'la Automan, and the possibility of hacking into the evening gown of a beautiful but dangerous female Russian spy.

But then I remembered this, and was glad I was wrong...

Spandex-clad geeks???

Well, I suppose the Tron Guy is going to have a field day with this stuff, so it's not all gloom and doom...

These pair of babies will make you the geekest of all times, including the tronguy

http://www.tronguy.net/TRONguard/ has just managed to put me off my breakfast which is nice

Ahh, my eyes!

honestly think about tron without the image of the tron guy coming to mind?

Meet last year's winner of the tech fashion contest. Layered Tech is going to explode with these high rez images of the clothing to be used at the MIT event, although I am pretty sure that MIT can handle the bandwidth used by the streaming video. (More Tron Guy Pix HA! HA!)

What the hell is this guy doing? Don't answer that . I'm going to get this one for those days when I want to look like Snuffaluffagus. Oh and whenever I update my blog, I'm going to wear this blogger hoodie. It's a blogger hoodie because...

They have similar problems.

Then again, if this dude would be in the game, I'd be buying it in a second.[/cheapshot]

No mention of nerds dressing-up is complete without a reference to the Tron guy.

It will certainly frighten away your date:

This is better, right....NOT!

http://www.tronguy.net/images/headshot-web.jpg

This is why.

Is that you Tronguy?

Just so long as I don't have to wear one of these suits

*shudder*

They are missing a VERY important part of Tron. You HAVE to wear the suits!

While I can't imagine wanting to wear Luke's X-Wing flight suit

Examples:

• Star Wars
• Tron
• Renaissance Faire
• Lord of the Rings

The moral of the story - everyone can "geek out" about something, but it takes a true nerd to do it in public.

That's me.

Please tell me your manager isn't Jay Maynard?

Nathan

cause I hear they will feature this guy as the main character.

I hereby nominate Jay Maynard for the lead role.

Of course, that would guarantee that the remake would have an R rating...

The Tronguy!

Please, oh please, have it be a comedy starring Jay Maynard!!!

TRON-GUY

I hope they give him a part - he already has his own costume....

BTW: Great job, guys.
