Nope .... that's pubic hair ... those people are standing on a different section of the body than what you were thinking.
Can't unsee it now. Fuck.
Someone's print failed...
Could be anyone's chest hair
Pretty obvious its RMS
"I had the thrill of a lifetime, hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler. Linus had never met Bill, and Dave had never met Linus. No major kernel decisions were made, but maybe next dinner 😉" -- Mark Russinovich
Mark is one of the coolest guys ever. Great books and great tools.
Thanks, I was wondering who the other guys were. Torvalds in the former enemy's lair. He's the winner in this pic.
This is really unsettling. Like seeing Tesla and Edison.
eh Bill doesn’t really pull any levers at MS these days, and Linus already got the moral victory of the Linux kernel running on Windows and basically powering their entire cloud business.
He looks like an older Tom Scott.
They have aged so much. Didn't even think they would that old.
I deal with computers because if I don't, computers will deal with me.
Is that Donald Knuth? If so, "three guys taking a photo with Donald Knuth" might be a better title.
(Apparently it's Dave Cutler, who wikipedia reminds me is the crazy VMS guy "known for his disdain for Unix." Apologies to both of them.)
That's also Mark Russ on the left
Bill Gates looks like he could be John Oliver's dad.
I'd had always blamed Bill Gates for windows monopoly, though now I'm pretty sure it was the US government all along pushing it for a backdoor.
All we gotta do is add Tim Cook in the photo.
Wouldn’t Wozniak be an obvious choice?
ok person vs wanker
I second this... Good Value Assessment.
