How about none of the above?<p>Anyway, to put it bluntly: I wouldn't want to work for a company with such a sexist attitude. Diversity is good.

I was going to flag this but actually I'm upvoting so that people can see how bloody awful this is.

I hope they find the heterosexual male they're looking for.

This could actually be an attempt to increase their diversity. They could be hoping that all the heterosexual males choose the first option, and that way they will get more women and gay men applying.<p>I don't think it's going to work though.<p>(Also I imagine Linus is extra grumpy at 7am).

I think its good for prospective employees to know that instead of dating Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox at the same time, they will be eating 5 varieties of pizza's while coding in the evenings. At least they are honest :)

Hmm breakfast with Linus would be cool, but you can talk to him online too. Also, this has a very heavy male bias.

The question is in rather poor taste.

An appointment with Linus is cheaper than "a lot more" with Jolie and Fox together, so I'll go with the latter.<p>Except it's stupid.

The post is mine. Didn't know it was posted here by my friend. Thanks to him, real hackers who care about the trade are already mailing me about the engineering part of that post. Both men and women. The following part of the comment is for the sensitive rest.<p>Hey guys,<p>(I hope, in modern urban culture, 'guys' is a sexually neutral term; Else, I will have to address the some of the sensitive readers as Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms ...; Let me know)<p>Sincere apologies are in order:<p>* To all men and some women whom my post offended because I didn't mention their favourite starlet<p>* To all women and some men whom my post offended because I didn't mention Brad Pitt and David Hasselhoff<p>* And to all others who are not Scott Adams' readers<p>Some of the best computer science engineers I have worked with are women. And I don't hire based on the brand of their nail polish.<p>You are welcome. The pleasure is mine.

I'm sure the answer is 'neither'. After hearing the "cvs/ugly and stupid" comments from torvalds (sorry dude, but those comments paint a picture), and that hollywood is a world of its own, the only way to win is not to play.
