Copyleft has Slashdot Hats

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the blatent-self-promotion dept.

CopyLeft now has Slashdot hats available for those of you who for (whatever reason) feel the need to cover up your heads. The ones I saw look pretty smooth. The website still only has drawings and not photos though. We need Slashdot socks and boxers so we truly be draped head to toe in cheesy merchandise. Or maybe Spandex Slashdot body suits? Slashdot skull caps? Matching Bra & Panty set? Berets? Jewelry? Where will the insanity end? I'm gonna go post some real news now...

    We need a xtian fish with "LINUX" written in it instead of that latin crap. Better yet, turn the fish into a penguin (but I imagine it would be hard to draw a horizontal penguin that's recognizable as a penguin).

    Forget about clothing.. How about doing a Jerry Springer type talk show? You could invite RMS and a Microsoft rep onto the show for your first episode. RMS comes out on stage, everyone cheers him on.. The M$ rep holds up a copy of Windows NT to taunt RMS, who then wings a Debian CD at him. Then RMS charges and beats the living crap out of the M$ rep, and the crowd starts cheering and chanting "Rob-by, rob-by, rob-by.."

    Next episode: KDE vs. Gnome flamewars. RMS makes a return appearance and gets in a fist fight with Bernd Johannes Wuebben. Torvalds later appears and decks RMS across the back of the head with a chair from on-stage, and says "that's for telling that reporter that I never acknowledge GNU!"

  18. Exercise by Chemical+Serenity · · Score: 1
    Vancouver isn't really the best place to enjoy the great outdoors in during the winter months (or as we like to describe it around here, the 'monsoon season'), but during the summer months my wife and I like to get out and go up to the little artificial lake behind the hydro dam in the mountains and kayak a bit.

    I got some pounds packed on (like most people do who work predominantly desk jockey style jobs) but I stay healthy, and would encourage every other geek or proto-geek to do likewise. Just remember that increased oxygenation helps those neurons fire... nothing kills 'coders block' like a little aerobic exercise.

    Of course, wild, undulating, sweaty sex could be happily substituted for any other exercise you could come up with, but the outdoors isn't necessarily the best place for that. ;)

    I could never understand why 'exercise' is two four letter word for programmers. I'll discard any appearance issues due to the fact that 95% of the people on this forum probably never see the others in real life.

    But what about mental clarity? Don't we get clouded mentally when we sit on our bum for 8 hours of work and then 3-4 more hours of hacking?

    I know that exercise is one of the things that keeps my mind clear and sane. Anyone else feel the same way?

    Heh. That would be fun. And then Rob could quit using that *grin* thing and actually smile on the camera.

    I think we'd all prefer to see the gun-toting RMS and ESR duke it out at the shooting gallery. RMS takes pot shots at a cutout with the words "open source" on it and ESR could shoot beer bottles and keep quoting the famous "think speech,not beer" line that was the impetus for the renaming of "free software" to "open source".

    And then they could both take turns blasting MS employees' windshields from trees. Then maybe they could call a truce and we could have no more of the "revisionist history" claims about GNU not getting the attention is deserves.

    And after that we could have a game show: Name that ego! I think the first contestants should be Sengan, Bruce Perens, and an Anonymous Coward selected from the audience.
