What's up with all the "Hot Babe" backgrounds? Makes all Open Source developers look like horny teenagers. Do you want a horny teenager writing your production Apache server??

Wowsa!

[tds67]

The screenshot looks HOT!!! And oh, yeah, the desktop looks okay, too...I guess...

No, just my DeCSS software! [eff.org]

Re:Sounds like a plan.

[Snoopy77]

Yeah, I'm currently running X-Windows 4 on my Linux 9.0 box.

[Pflipp]

Long as the horny teenager is a "Hot Babe", I'd have no problem with that.

slashdot grammar

The first sentence of the article no verb.

Abso-freakin-lutely. I remember when I was a horny teenager dammit! Lots of energy, sharp mind, just the sort of person you need hacking code.

Plus, if he's off hacking my server, that means I have a window to hit on his hot horny teenager girlfriend. %^}

Summary

[Anonymous Coward]

Since I'm sure we're all busy folks, let me save everyone some time by summarizing what this whole discussion is going to boil down to:

• Performance is god.
• No it isn't.
• Yes, it is.
• Is not.
• Is too.
• Is not, take a comp. sci. class -- abstraction is a good thing.
• Don't you realize this means higher framerates on 3|_33T Derivative FPS 2004 Pro? That's my favorite game, it just came out and it's so awesome. Besides, if we have the fastest games, that'll show that Linux performance is awesome and thus that Linux is truly enterprise-ready.
• Oh yeah?!? Well, I'm an old-time Unix guy, and I say, "Give me vi, X11, and ksh, or give me death!"
• 1. Hey, you stole my chance to get first post, you insensitive clod. 2. ???? 3. Profit!

For shame!

[UnknowingFool]

How dare he exploit that young woman like that?! Does he really think that putting a picture of a young, attractive, nubile woman in a suggestive pose is going to attract the attention of a bunch of nerds?

. . .

Never mind.

Re:err

[DingoBueno]

Agreed. From now on, pictures of hot guys.

Kinda brings a whole new meaning to "open" source software...

Transparent Windows

[Tony.Tang]

I never really understood why people thought transparent windows were so cool.

Now I understand why it should be a priority 1 feature in all applications.

I don't know about your PHB, but my PHB is hornier than a three-peckered billy goat. It's the nature of the leadership type to be keen on sexual conquest. If your PHB isn't an open pervert, I'd start looking for a new job: your company or division is doomed.

[vrmlguy]

Hmmm, 50 galleries, 6 pics per gallery, that means I'm a quick script away from having a different desktop everyday for almost a year.

Re:FB Goodness?

[Pippity]

Well what do you think? The guy doesn't want to miss one nanosecond of the wallpaper babe!

I don't like it

[aonifer]

Anna Flalabalalooy isn't really my type. I won't run this until it has Alyson Hannigan on the desktop.
