      Was it with the epitaph "Netcraft confirms it does" under the R.I.P.? If not, that's probably the reason it wasn't chosen.

    Why is Slashdot still using daemon then?

    I guess Cowboy Neal hasn't cleared the trademark permissions yet.

    Next /. poll: What color should the new /. BSD icon be:

    Has anyone else noticed how popular the "shiny orb" look has become recently? There are a lot of places now using the "shiny round button" as their logo. Weird.

    But, but ... how can you go wrong with "shiny orb" technology?

    You've got your shiny. We all love shiny don't we? I mean, how often do you stop dead in your tracks throughout a week and say "Mmmmmm ..... shiny"? Once a day at least, I'm betting.

    And you've got your orb. Nice, pleasing, round, no sharp edges to catch your shins on. Who feels threatened by an orb?

    It's perfect I tell you!

    At least it isn't blue, because then it would be a horny blue ball, which would give the wrong message (albeit perhaps accurate in regard to BSD users).
