Anyone here have a huge beard?
« on: January 03, 2013, 04:37:59 AM »
From http://learnpythonthehardway.org:

"A programmer will eventually tell you to use Mac OSX or Linux. If the programmer likes fonts and typography, they'll tell you to get a Mac OSX computer. If they like control and have a huge beard, they'll tell you to install Linux."

I may have a beard, but I don't think Ms. Meme does :-)
A beard doesn't seem to be an indicator of greater things/thoughts.
If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And when I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?
That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.

Not having to shave every day leaves more time for greater things/thoughts.  ;)

The necessity for a beard is likely the main cause of the sex imbalance connected with Linux ......  most ladies have difficulty growing beards ....   :(

Boy am I ahead of the trend, I have had a beard since 1968, it's not huge, as my wife insists I trim it every 6 months or so. :)
All those years with a beard, and I did not start using Linux till 2002.

I sometimes don't shave on the weekends. Does that count?

There is a 5th dimension,beyond that which is known to man.It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity,between science& superstition,& it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination.It is an area which we call PCLINUXOS!

As I am part bear, does a full body beard count?  Actually I cannot go more than a month without regrowing mine, it doesn't matter that the temps outside during the summer exceed 100 degrees F.  I just feel naked without my facial hair.
