A lot of Open Source projects are copies of popular Microsoft products. Miguel de Icaza, Open Source alpha geek and creator of the GNOME desktop for Linux, continues this tradition by striking sexy poses Bill Gates-style. I added (in)appropriate captions below the photos; ask your geek friends if you don’t get the jokes.

“Some guys will just give you mono. I created Mono, baby!”
“Open Source is about programmers ‘scratching an itch.’ I’ve got a very personal itch I’d love you to scratch…”
“Open Source software is like sex in a committed relationship: you only think you’re not paying for it.”
How did I not know about the Joe Pesci Home Alone yule log stream until now?…

Hey, I know that guy. He's a good friend of mine, back when we lived in Mexico.

The caption on the last one is fabulous, Joey!
