Is that someone’s chest hair in the background?
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.
Torvalds should be nowhere near that man.
He looks like an older Tom Scott.
Best part, Linus is the youngest of the four!
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
Is the guy on the left wearing a wig?
The wig is operating the human machine it sits on
Since the last time I saw an image of him, I’ve become sure that Mark has amazing hair.
Bill Gates looks like he could be John Oliver’s dad.

I mean gates never joined the modern “Hey look at me, I’m getting ripped now”, Watch me surf… see I’m a cool dude not just a tech nerd billionare club.
You don’t think Gates has sex parties and does drugs from time to time or at one point? I mean, are you following this dude around? How do you know? This is the problem with idols. We just kind of project ourselves or our preconceived notions of what these people are.
I mean, he was an acquaintance of Epstein.
I mean only talking about his public image that he maintained. Gates kept the public image of, I’m a quiet boring nerd who’s running a company and helping charities where I can. IE very different public image than zuck who hit a phase where he just publicly wanted to be seen as a ripped martial artist fighter surfer with 6 pack etc… or even Elon Musk who clearly had MAJOR work done on his hair etc…
What gates did privately agreed, who knows what the heck he was up to, but the key point is, he didn’t work to advertise to the world that he was cool.
The guy is 70, I think it’s OK to let yourself go a little at that age.
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.
