Changing Face of Linux?
standards writes "Reuters is reporting that pony-tailed Linux Users have been seen mingling with executives in short-sleeved golf shirts. The article suggests that real technology guys don't wear shorts, T-shirts or baseball caps." the article is mostly about the business focus of Linux these days, although I think the writer is a couple years late since I think this was really the case about 4 LinuxWorld's ago ;)
Come to EFNet's irc network and join #bsdcode. The key is 'i8thebabyjesus'. We are gathering ideas about this subject right now. And please, no *BSD is dying jokes, we have them already. '*BSD is dying, let's use Linux'.

A man has been jailed for six months after a trainload of commuters saw him having sex with a goat.
Stephen Hall, 23, of Kensington Road, Hull, pleaded guilty to one charge of buggery with an animal after the assault on the female goat in August last year.
Sentencing HIV-positive Hall, Judge Michael Mettyear, at Hull Crown Court, described the incident as "bizarre and disgusting". Hall had a previous conviction for indecent assault against a six-year-old girl.
The judge expressed frustration at being unable to order that Hall be banned from working with children in the future, adding: "You have pleaded guilty to buggery with an animal, a goat. It was committed in open air with people about, with people who could see.
"You were acting in an indecent manner, indeed, there was an seven-year-old boy in a position to see, although he was protected by his grandfather."
The court was earlier told how Hall had been returning from his sister's home on August 14 when the assault took place at the Argyle Street allotments.
A seven-year-old boy out walking with his grandfather had witnessed the attack together with a train-load of commuters on board a Hull to Bridlington service that had stopped at nearby signals.
Hall was seen holding on to a belt that had been put around the nanny goat's neck with one hand, while masturbating with the other. He was then seen with his trousers around his ankles having "penetrative sexual intercourse" with the animal.
Forensic tests matched semen taken from Hall's clothing to that found at the scene and samples of the goat's hairs were also found in his underwear.
Reading from the pre-sentence report, Mr Mettyear said Hall had shown evidence of being "preoccupied with sex", having "emotional instability" and problems maintaining relationships. It added that he targets "vulnerable" victims - "a child in the first instance and now an animal".
Stoner Chicks Rule
It's morons like you that I love... I get your job, hell I even get to take it away from you.
I dress like management. I dont wear a tie but I do wear dress shoes, slacks and a nice shirt. On casual friday I wear a golf shirt (nice one, nutral colors) and Kaki's. Management likes this and when a department is cut down in manpower I am the last to be considered to go. The ponytailed-tatto freaks are the first to go.
Why? It's corperate culture you moron.. Management cant care less about you or your abilities, they know you are replaceable. Theyu dont know what to do about me, a highly skilled IT person that looks normal to them... they want me, they keep me and they usually give me your job.
So keep being a spoiled brat.... I love it!
And they call me arrogant.
i hope the face of linux is changing. because right now it resembles gerald, the guy who was briefly in my physics program. The breast pocket of his XXL t-shirt (think Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons) was always stretched down a foot, because he kept a 20oz bottle of mountain dew there. What an uberdork. He lasted 2 semesters before transferring to Comp Sci.
