[Commenting in Slashdot after Arnold Schwarzenegger’s decision to use open-source software in the California government:]
> This is obviously because Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are girly-men.
Yeah and what are the offerings of the open-source world? Let’s see:
1. Linus Torvalds - Looks like a dweeb, ergo is a dweeb. How girly is that? (plus his wife can kick ass better than him) 2. Richard M. Stallman - a hippy. How girly is that? 3. Eric S. Raymond - a nice looking man with a mustache. Baby faced, so he looks a bit girly to me. 4. Larry Wall - a cross between Linus and RMS (i.e: a hippy dweeb) that is even more girly.
So who do we have left? Alan Cox? OK, he’s manly. (huge man, huge facial hair, etc.) And all the others are so neglible people don’t even know how they look like.
Note: this comment may have been a bit cruel, so sorry. Don’t take it too seriously, especially if you’re one of the guys I laughed about. I hold you all with the greatest respect. Seriously.
Sincerily yours,
Shlomi Fish (who is a quite girly male himself).
