    What's up with all the "Hot Babe" backgrounds? Makes all Open Source developers look like horny teenagers. Do you want a horny teenager writing your production Apache server??

      Abso-freakin-lutely. I remember when I was a horny teenager dammit! Lots of energy, sharp mind, just the sort of person you need hacking code.

      Plus, if he's off hacking my server, that means I have a window to hit on his hot horny teenager girlfriend. %^}

      I don't know about your PHB, but my PHB is hornier than a three-peckered billy goat. It's the nature of the leadership type to be keen on sexual conquest. If your PHB isn't an open pervert, I'd start looking for a new job: your company or division is doomed.

    How dare he exploit that young woman like that?! Does he really think that putting a picture of a young, attractive, nubile woman in a suggestive pose is going to attract the attention of a bunch of nerds?

    I never really understood why people thought transparent windows were so cool.

    Now I understand why it should be a priority 1 feature in all applications.

    Hmmm, 50 galleries, 6 pics per gallery, that means I'm a quick script away from having a different desktop everyday for almost a year.
