Seriously. It doesn't sound like you are an extremely devout conservative Muslim, so do you really need to grow it? If you'd rather not suffer for your beliefs, then you need to get pragmatic. I bet that just being clean-shaven will reduce by half the extra profile-matching searches and hassles.
Hell, I myself have absolutely 0% Arab/Muslim heritage, a U.S. Passport, a German last name, and I'm half Asian, but I just have a face that, when sporting a flowing beard, makes me look Middle-Eastern or Mexican. I wouldn't dare go through a U.S. immigration checkpoint with a beard.
Of course if the beard is because you're a devout and conservative UNIX hacker, well, more power to you...
It uses a special program, which in all likelihood sends the photo directly to Amazon and doesn't charge for it. Or maybe even analyzes the photo itself, and just sends a barcode ID.
I remember distinctly the feeling I had while I was lying reading in a barracks room on the Portsmouth Shipyard in '91 holding a Dr. Dobb's journal and spotted a small classified ad for Slackware Linux from Walnut Creek.
What the heck were you building at the Portsmouth Shipyard then, a time machine? Because Slackware Linux version 1.0 came out in July 1993.
It doesn't make any sense that Nintendo would actually want to sue it's fans for promoting their games.
Except when those fans are porn-peddlers, which is how Nintendo sees Suicide Girls. Nintendo doesn't want to be sued by some hysterical mother claiming that little Bobby Googled for "Metroid Zelda" and came up on a page of horrifying pierced & tattooed naked women.
As for the 'ownership' of the name, the author said that it just "came from an old song".
Nintendo should just lighten up and forget this nonsense. I suspect that the name probably originated somewhere else because a Japanese Nerd video game giant corporation would not be likely to come up with a name like this. Personally, I suspect that William Burroughs thought it up, and a search of his novels from the 1950s and 1960s would find it as a casual reference.
The dispute is over the use of "Metroid" and "Zelda". OK, you don't have to RTFA, but at least RTF...Slashdot summary!
Actually the expression "ay caramba!" (note spelling) is used quite a bit in Brazil. Googling for "ay carumba", the first page got four sites in Portuguese, not a single one in Spanish.
wordpad comes bundled with Windows; yet the first thing most people do is install Word.
Most people already have Word installed on their newly-bought computer, and most people thus think that Microsoft Office is a part of Windows, and Windows is a part of the PC, and thus it's all free.
You can tell people Firefox is free, but it doesn't mean much to someone who thinks that anything from Microsoft that's already on their computer is also free.
Anyone with talent *and* internet access will be busy looking over their shoulders because they'll naturally be on the "highly susupicious" list at the Ministry of Culture
In the DRPK annyone with internet access at all is already part of the state's techno elite and de facto an agent.
The only place a North Korean hacker is not going to stick out, or the only place he can afford to live, is China.
Why not South Korea or Japan? And goverment agents can probably afford to live anywhere.

"my David Hasseloff fantasy" -- whether you're male or female, that sounds creepy.
But there's also lucky enough to probably never have heard that song.
Shave your damn beard.

It's so nice to discuss this in a chain of comments starting with "Don't take this lying down"!
Not to mention "plugging holes".

Especially useful for the writings of Dr. Stephen Hawking!
Now he can quit.
What, do you think the hackers will work from the Center for Anti-Imperialist Hacking in downtown Pyongyang, hacking.gov.kp?
Get real. They will be agents using commercial DSL lines in South Korea and Japan.

And it will be outsourced to Indians, of course.
So Rob Glaser's the incumbent. Who's the challenger?
