GNU-Friends Interviews
Jonas Öberg writes "GNU-Friends is doing a series of interviews with long-time free software hackers that I think people would be interested in. Check out interviews with Arnold Robbins, Karl Berry, Andrew L. Moore, Guido van Rossum, David MacKenzie and Chet Ramey. More to come, but that should keep people occupied for a few minutes." The GNU-Friends should have a show right after Superfriends.
So I can't even have friends anymore, I have to have GNU/Friends? Damn you RMS!
I read the interviews, and they don't tell you how to make GNU friends. We're stuck with our old D&D playing, zit faced, smelly friends until we can afford that 'vette.

Unfortunately, the number of free sofware hackers who are women is very, very small, on the order of 1%, and almost none of these women has any leadership role. However, there is one woman who would make an excellent interview subject, and who does have a leadership role (at the Gnome Foundation): Telsa Gwynne.
She herself would probably deny being a "free software hacker", though her testing and documentation work is critical to making the Gnome desktop a high-quality product.
Well, three of the four guys you mention are married, and the fourth has a girlfriend (yes, shocking as it may seem, there is a woman who finds RMS very attractive), so I guess they are sexy to someone.
The slashdot effect shouldn't hamper DNS lookups. The slashdot effect would only play a role *after* my machine knows the numeric IP address. If anything, the slashdot effect should speed up the DNS lookup if it has any effect at all, becuase it increses the likelyhood that upstream name servers have the name cached from previous users.
Don't label something "offtopic" unless you know the topic well enough to tell what's on topic.
