    Who does a guy have to sleep with round here to get rep privileges? (sounded sexier when Sigourney Weaver said it )

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to doodab again.

    Not surprising about the innuendo, its probably the closest they've got to sex for years.
    BTW, why do techies have to go out of their way to conform to stereotype - beards, crap clothes and Fnah Fnah jokes FFS, that's so old skool.
    What does your attendance of this forum make you? A groupy? A "1337" walt?

    Maybe the moral is that if you go to python or perl conferences, or anything similar, you're bound to meet the kind of guys who think dongle and fork jokes are hilariously funny

    I don't want to burst her bubble, but someone needs to point out that a 'successful' start up is one that has moved on from describing itself as a start up. And if she really thinks that getting kids female or otherwise to write python is the 'future of programming' then she needs help.

    Having got that off my chest, I have to ask does she enjoy playing with big snakes?
