Apache Playboy

Asides

I just downloaded Apache and was surprised to see “The currently selected mirror is http://mirrors.playboy.com/apache.” Apparently the tech team over there mirrors a few other projects. “Playboy’s resident tech nerds would like to thank the authors, contributors, bug testers, and everyone else involved in the Open Source software we use on a daily basis. THANK YOU!” What a strange world.

    Women and technology is an unbeatable mix.

    Or in Playboy’s case, medical technology, Photoshop, and women.

    I used to subscribe to Playboy, actually. The rest of the magazine around the pictures of naked women was (and I presume still is) excellent. Their coverage of 1st Amendment rights has always been particularly strong. It doesn’t surprise me to see them backing open source.
