Linux To Be First OS To Support USB 3.0 296
An anonymous reader writes with an excerpt from Neowin.net "Sarah Sharp, a self-styled 'geekess' and Linux developer at Intel's Open Source Technology Center who has recently been working on the Linux USB subsystem, announced on her blog that support of USB 3.0 will soon be integrated into the Linux kernel. This makes Linux the first operating system to support the standard. If you can't wait and have the expertise necessary, she includes instructions on how to get USB 3.0 support in Linux now." Here's Sharp's post.

I don't care what she looks like. If she refers to herself as a "geekess", she's off my list based on annoyability quotient.
Anyway, you want fun, you gotta go for the Liberal Arts majors. They read "erotica" and learn all that kama sutra stuff.
Or, do what I did and go for a mathematician. For some reason, female mathematicians are sex machines. The trick is to find one that doesn't look like Leonid Brezhnev with lipstick.
Here's the secret: hang around the math department and look for the girls with names that sound like they're from the former Soviet Bloc. I don't know why, but over there they breed a certain type of hot chick with strong math aptitude. Probably a result of some sort of early genetic experiment before the fall of the USSR. Anyway, they get over here and go to our best math schools and since back home all the guys are brooding boors who drink too much and don't bathe, it can be as simple as being nice to them (and, of course, bathing regularly). Also, if they're from the former Yugoslavia, it's best not to mention that you thought Clinton was a great president. They still hold a grudge about all the bombing of Belgrade and stuff.
If you play your cards right, you'll end up with a female that looks like Milla Jovovic and has a brain like Pierre de Fermat. They end up with a nice job in a math department somewhere (or even better, the financial sector) and BAM! you're home relaxed, playing Far Cry 2 and commenting on Slashdot, writing a novel the same way that Brian from Family Guy is "writing a novel" and in twenty minutes she comes home bringing bacon. Of course, be prepared to cook dinner occasionally and perform like a tantric guru. It can be a sweet, if tiring existence.
Now excuse me, I have something on the stove.

I could engage in some huge diatribe about how you're objectifying women and you shouldn't be a douche online 'cause that makes the geek girls uncomfortable.
But I'm not even going to need that line. I'm just going to point out what she says on her blog [thesharps.us]:
Vim automatic spell checking is my crutch
Vim. Vim!. As in "Mmmmmmm, I love vi."
Arrrrggggghhhhh!!!! So sad. Another soul lost...
Okay, all together now: "I wish they all could be Emacs girls..."

That's only if she's a Serb. If she's Croatian, it could be a point in your favour.
The takeaway here is that paying attention to geopolitics can pay great dividends.

Rusty: Didn't you reboot it a few weeks ago?
Grover: Yeah, I had to reboot to install my Thumb Drive

Yes, but talk like that will just make you popular with the lesbians.
Which is perfectly alright. But if you're straight it's a lonely existence.
