Although I'll admit that making jokes that everybody finds funny is probably impossible.
Debian and the hot babe problem Posted Dec 2, 2004 14:59 UTC (Thu) by sbergman27 (guest, #10767) [Link] I think that Socket's girlfriend (see above) is on to something. I imagine that, like most other software these days, hot babe will pick up theming capability and we will see "hot guy", "hot space alien", etc. and no doubt other graphical representations of processor load which don't even involve people, as long as the images are released under a free license.
Personally, I'll stick with Gnome System Monitor, though.
Debian and the hot babe problem Posted Dec 2, 2004 15:20 UTC (Thu) by sideshow (guest, #2791) [Link] We'll it's not just prereleases of Ubuntu, have you seen the December Calendar background image? While certainly a beautiful picture/woman, it certainly will raise the eyebrows of many many people (probably more than the original image which caused all the commotion). There is a difference between that image and the hot-babe one to be sure.
I guess I really don't have much of a point here, just felt the need to comment. Some people are always going to find something offensive in whatever you do. I think if your goal is adoption/usage of your particular product, you should do whatever appeals to the demographic you're going after. If you're not going after the business world or the American mid-west conservative family man, then those images are certainly going to be more acceptable to your target audience. However if your goal is world domination, then maybe the images should be toned down a bit to be more widely acceptable.
Debian and the hot babe problem Posted Dec 2, 2004 16:08 UTC (Thu) by marduk (subscriber, #3831) [Link] Agreed, while I like the December wallpaper, I will refrain from taking my laptop to work this month...
Debian and the hot babe problem Posted Jan 18, 2005 9:23 UTC (Tue) by sitaram (subscriber, #5959) [Link] and for those of us who dont have Ubuntu, how about a link? :-) In fact, someone should maintain these pictures for posterity, dont you think?
Debian and the hot babe problem Posted Dec 2, 2004 19:21 UTC (Thu) by mightyduck (guest, #23760) [Link] But what if I DON'T WANT a smart girlfriend ;-)? A girlfriend has to besomething which pleases my eyes (and other parts of the body) first, the smart thing comes later.
