It's strange that the human body is 'nsfw' Edit: rather, that it is considered to be nsfw by society.

I remember seeing The Titanic many years ago when it came out. During the scene where Kate Winslet poses topless for Leonardo, the artist, I was sitting next to a couple with their 8-or-9-ish year old children. It took a couple delayed seconds for the husband to react and shield his kid's eyes. During that time, the kids didn't flinch; the parents eventually did. Perhaps the kids didn't see anything wrong with seeing boobies - but now they associate them with something forbidden.

Tell it to the lab manager shooting me the dirty looks.

Unix is sexier than those two ( or four, depends on what you're looking at ).

I second that! I don't think its the human body thats nsfw, but those two weren't hot enough and in my circle of friends if I'm caught looking at the ugly chicks then I lose the small amount of credibility I had

Whoa, didn't see that coming. I appreciate the humour, but as the others said, a warning would have been nice.

Please mark as NSFW in the title. I've got 3 levels of management walking by constantly.

All 3 levels hate Unix? You gotta quit that job.

It's Dell, so I'm never sure.

Good lord, please put a NSFW in the title. I'm gonna get fired.

Even if you aren't going to get fired, random breasts on the screen is not great for a lot of public situations.

NSFW applies to more than just the fellow with 3 levels of management (and his TPS reports) :)

On a tangential note, where does one go to find topless babes interested in linux?

The last time I saw topless women on the beach, they were reading "People" magazine if they were reading anything at all.

Maybe someone else should chime in about this being NSFW. I don't think the point was made.

For the most part, one doesn't.
