Re: Fwd: http://linuxbeard.com/
One comment here is that there are way too few women in hi-tech period. Yet, some of the women engineers I have worked with, especially at Digital, Compaq, and HP have been among the best engineers.. I work in a Regus Office complex, and a number of the CEOs of small companies are women.

Re: Fwd: http://linuxbeard.com/
At one USENIX there were people going around with fake beards being "Ken Thompson", and later at an Atlanta Linux Showcase there was a day when there were an amazing number of "maddog beards". @ryan - yes the Atlanta Linux Showcase beards did look a lot like re-purposed ZZ Top beards. I have decided, as my hair grew thinner on top, to trim my beard so I look a bit (I hope) like the elder Sean Connerynow all I need is the tweed jacket and the leather patches on the elbows. md On Mon, 2011-06-27 at 17:56 -0400, Stacie Andrews wrote: > As possibly the only women on this conversation I find this horribly funny. > I think I should share this with devchix where we can start a fashion > statement with fake beards and cause an unheard of sales spike in the beard > market. > :-p > > Stacie Andrews > CTO at Provado Marketing Solutions, Inc. > Devs. Wanted: http://provadomarketing.jobscore.com > http://www.linkedin.com/in/stacieandrews > Cell. 207-475-5066 > > > > On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 5:25 PM, John Abreau wrote: > > > I'm offended at your feeling offended! > > > > > > On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 5:24 PM, Ben Eisenbraun wrote: > > > On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 05:19:56PM -0400, John Abreau wrote: > > >> It's good to try not to offend people, up to a point, but you have to > > draw the > > >> line somewhere. > > > > > > I find that offensive! > > > > > > *snrk* > > > > > > -b > > > > > > -- > > > there are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, > > > and the other is getting it. > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix > > AIM abreauj / JABBER j...@jabber.blu.org / YAHOO abreauj / SKYPE > > zusa_it_mgr > > Email j...@blu.org / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 > > PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 > > > > ___ > > gnhlug-discuss mailing list > > gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org > > http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ > > > ___ > gnhlug-discuss mailing list > gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org > http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: Fwd: http://linuxbeard.com/
One thing I've discovered coming from a family that has been involved some degree in politics is that people being offended comes with the territory. Sometimes you just have to pull out a pair of sunglasses and say "deal with it!" Also, I can't seem to grow a decent beard.

I've also found that if you keep your mouth shut and say nothing, there are people who will be offended by the silence, too. Basically, if you merely exist, someone may be offended. It's good to try not to offend people, up to a point, but you have to draw the line somewhere. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix AIM abreauj / JABBER j...@jabber.blu.org / YAHOO abreauj / SKYPE zusa_it_mgr Email j...@blu.org / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix AIM abreauj / JABBER j...@jabber.blu.org / YAHOO abreauj / SKYPE zusa_it_mgr Email j...@blu.org / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
