  1. What's the deal with these Penguinistas?? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Jesus, this guy could be RMS' brother. Or sister, for that matter. Why do these types have no regard for personal hygene or grooming. It's really sad, these are supposedly intelligent people yet they all seem to be incapable of tidying themselves.

    Note to future sysadmins:

    Get a hair cut.
    Dress neatly in clean clothes that are not from the previous decade.
    Bathe! Frequently!
    And brush your God damned teeth, at least twice a day!!!
