    Whereas at Plesk he is Mr. productPhoto.jpg.

    Then over at SCO is the auth_guy.jpg.

    All Hail AUTH_GUY!

    He must a transvestite then if SCO is calling him an authentic guy. (No offense to the transvestite reading population, just seems to fit as far as SCO lying goes.)

    Heh, So many companies use stock art for their websites & ad-copy, it can be amusing when somebody doesn't.

    As it happens, the company I work for (www.rackspace.com) uses real pictures of it's employees in it's webpages & ad art. This becomes very amusing when somebody else thinks the pictures are stock clipart and poaches them for their own site. There's one pic of a guy plugging in some network cables that has wound up everywhere, including on the websites of several of Rackspace's competitors. The amusing part is that the guy in the photo is actaually one of the founders of our company!
