I've used CDE, I was around in that era. It does look horrible. It looked out of date in the 90s and it looks out of date now. It (and Motif) was based on Windows 3.1.
I do still use NEdit though. Fantastic regex support.
And yeah, if they open-sourced Windows 95, I would say it's out of date. Who wouldn't? Who seriously want to build and run Windows 95 on a computer today?
The only value to open-sourcing CDE now is for historical purposes (Motif at least still has some useful applications, although OpenMotif probably covered them a long time ago). They can send that code straight to the Smithsonian for all I care.
Your "simple, fun ways" are going to get you into hot water. By doing that, you're basically encouraging such behavior by turning something from inappropriate behavior to behavior that's okay as long as you're willing to wear a funny tie.
You talk about your team, so I assume you're in a larger organization. That organization most likely has some HR representation, so I suggest you talk to them about what the baseline rules and laws are. I'm surprised your company hasn't already had some sort of mandatory training (training which I tend to think is just relaying common sense, but based on your write up, I'm not sure in your team's case).
For the grey areas not covered by those rules, why don't you go discuss with the other women you mention to learn their experiences? Double entendres and the like are not necessarily harassment/hostile work environment, but it depends on how they're played. If they're all being directed at the female team member, then yeah, you're probably asking for trouble.
...and as long as they are included in standard cable packages so they can get their franchise fee whether anyone watches them or not, they'll continue to head down crap lane with cheap reruns of shoddy programming.
There were over 30,000 gun-related deaths in the same year (~45% of them non-suicides). And you're seriously going to cite 861 deaths from body blow for your slippery slope argument?
When there are less than 900 gun-related deaths in a year (hell, don't even count the suicides), then you can make that point. Until then, find better rhetoric.

Well we have baby formula too. Enjoy!
...we could eat less meat.
Get thee to a grocer, and ask for one of the umpteenth kinds of milk substitute.
Soy milk, almond milk, rice milk... the future is now!
...or produce humans more expensively.
Technically, I think humans lived in tribes for most of human history.

True, but what's he on here complainin' about how people type slow, then?
Gotta get those metrics up!
Simultaneous chat sessions.
You're welcome. Or, your manager is welcome.
Any conversation over the internet should quickly solve that problem.
Professor Numbnuts should go check out Nate Silver's blog sometime and he might learn the value of algebra to his own discipline.
...and women, and sheep.
I've been doing this all wrong!
Or they can kill some gays. Let's see which they choose.
Humans are apes. "Monkey" excludes hominids.

Yay Internet TV, 2052.
Simce when do black hats respect privacy? See? Shared values.
These all sound like things a black hat might enjoy, yes.
It could all just be an elaborate social engineering attack.
What'd y'all think of the Lazaras Pit?
Ah, the self-righteous defender of all that is noble and proper by lecturing others about how to socialize on the blogs. Welcome!
When you're done with your self-imposed vicarious victimhood, I sincerely hope you enjoy the movie.
Then again, something like 300 people died today in Syria, and I'm sure there'll be more tomorrow, so, remain vigilante against anyone having any fun.

I think that hits on RMS's point.
That depends on where you store/share/backup those mp3s. The cloud, perhaps?
