Comments on: What Would Jesus Compile? http://emergentchaos.com/archives/2006/04/what-would-jesus-compile.html The Emergent Chaos Jazz Combo Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:20:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bill Humphries http://emergentchaos.com/archives/2006/04/what-would-jesus-compile.html/comment-page-1#comment-2089 Bill Humphries Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:43:33 +0000 http://emergentchaos.com/?p=1645#comment-2089 Your mention of the BSD demon reminds me of an encounter at one of those office supply chain stores... I was wearing my Hexley (that's a platapus wearing a little BSD devil hoodie) tshirt when I stopped in to buy some CD-Rs. I took my purchase to the counter, and the cashier was genuinely spooked by the shirt. "There's a demon on your shirt!" "Oh, that's Hexley, he's the mascot for Darwin, the open source portion of Mac OS." "Darwin?" "Yeah, it's joke on the name of Charles Darwin's friend Huxley." "Darwin as in evolution?" (at this point, the poor cashier's looking around for either a stake or a bottle of holy water.) I thought about asking the manager that they should brief their employees about Silicon Valley computer culture, and just because someone has a demon on their shirt doesn't mean they are in league with Satan, but I think that guy was the manager.
