Ubuntu/Linux users, what is your sex?

[geo909]

Ok, I had another conversation about linux and women so I thought about having an actual poll about it.

[forestpixie]

What about an "I'm not telling choice" - cos I'm not telling today

[geo909]

Yeah, I was thinking about a third option like "other" or "don't know" for a joke but that would be too tempting to choose and would ruin the poll!

[trentmc]

I have a sneaking suspicion that the blokes will come out on top with this one ;)

[Joeb454]

I have a sneaking suspicion that there's another thread about this somewhere.

Also where's the obligatory immature option of "yes please ;)"

[issih]

You need to add an option of borg for LaRoza!

I'm not going to vote anyway, as I agree its totally irrelevant :)

:lolflag: its funny cos its true

[geo909]

What is a "bloke"? I couldn't find it in the dictionary.

bloke = male

I didn't say that I have a certain opinion about women and linux. I'm not going to 'analyze' any results and use them against someone, it's just that I find it interesting to see the analogy.

[sox fan Matt]

Can i answer "Yes please?!"

[geo909]

Ok, I'm killing humor once again but I don't speak English very well: what's
with the "Yes, please" joke, I don't get it..:oops:

[melrom]

like "sex?" -- "Yes, please". It's from Austin Powers.

[Joeb454]

Can i answer "Yes please?!"

I knew somebody would prove my point :)

[forestpixie]

That is because we are a completely mature bunch of people :) and if it's going free...

[LaRoza]

Sex is a biological trait (male/female), but it is also the act of copulating.

[billgoldberg]

What about an "I'm not telling choice" - cos I'm not telling today

Why anyone would want to hide his/her sex eludes me.

[forestpixie]

You had to have been there - the other thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=830862) that is - and I'm male

Edit - just thought - is that a drawing of you or is your name bill :)

[Sand & Mercury]

*Is very amused by poll results*

[geo909]

You borgs do that, too?!

[geo909]

I am really surprised that the thread was moved here.
Do you find it like sexist or something?
Gee, that's a very interesting poll, why should this offend someone?!

Sorry guys, I really can't follow your political correctness.

[LaRoza]

You borgs do that, too?!

In a way, it is less sticky and tiresome and more efficient.

No one was offended, it is just that there are a lot of polls on this subject.

[forestpixie]

It got moved to recurring discussion not anywhere else.

Ok, I just hadn't notice..

[robertchahine]

wow, till now there's only 3 votes for female !!!!

[melrom]

wow, till now there's only 3 votes for female !!!!

yeah, i am kind of surprised by that...

[LaRoza]

yeah, i am kind of surprised by that...

It gets tiresome voting for your sex on every poll that pops up ;)

[robertchahine]

yeah, i am kind of surprised by that...
the females who participate in the women forum(which is part of the ubuntuforums), should vote,because the female option in the poll is so "poor"

[overdrank]

Why anyone would want to hide his/her sex eludes me.

What difference does in make? Male or Female, makes none to me :KS

[LaRoza]

It does when you need to get those cables connected.

[forestpixie]

Once when I was but a lad (or ladie) and an apprentice I spent two days feeding cables through a bulkhead fitting on an aircraft and soldering plugs on the end.

Then the inspectors told me I was using the wrong sex. :(

Lesson learnt.

[robertchahine]

lol, nice one

[bufsabre666]

needless to say this is quite the sausagefest

[robertchahine]

whatttt?
i'm looking now to 144 votes for females and 76 for males!!!!!!!!
wow, the females on the forums are now wake

[lisati]

Yeah, I was thinking about a third option like "other" or "don't know" for a joke but that would be too tempting to choose and would ruin the poll!

I was contemplating suggesting a "yes please!" option but wasn't sure how well it would go down....

[Mr. Picklesworth]

:O
Looks like there are more women than men in this thread. I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if some catastrophy has occurred... as if the entire world has switched polarity.

Quickly, get out of this universe!!

[Mazza558]

Can mods edit poll results? :)

[bufsabre666]

needless to say that doesnt happen, i wonder who hacked the poll

[LaRoza]

Can mods edit poll results? :)

No. I mean, I don't know. Well, sort of.

Ok, what do you mean by "edit"?

[geo909]

Now, say guys, who did it?
It was LaRoza wasn't it?! :roll:

[bufsabre666]

Now, say guys, who did it?
It was LaRoza wasn't it?! :roll:

pfft... its always LaRoza

=P

[LaRoza]

You all have no proof.

(In case anyone feels it was unfair, there is an "official" poll on this, so I have no guilt about *possibly* altering this one)

[geo909]

It's because borgs are jealous of beings that actually have sex. ;)
They ruin their polls for revenge.

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

[forestpixie]

Oh so now I can't believe any of the perfectly set out forum polls :D

You learn fast, young Jedi...


Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

[forestpixie]

So now I can see that in fact you are really a ....

[forestpixie]

politician

[PurposeOfReason]

Significant lack of "yes please" option. I mean, this is the internet. That said, voted accordingly.

[geo909]

I've been asked several times for this, but shouldn't the question be "Ubuntu/Linux users, sex?" instead?

[robertchahine]

No. I mean, I don't know. Well, sort of.

Ok, what do you mean by "edit"?
it seems that Mr.Laroza had a little fun with the poll :D

[LaRoza]

politician

That is the most insulting thing anyone has ever said to me...

it seems that Mr.Laroza had a little fun with the poll :D

Oh no...

[forestpixie]

That is the most insulting thing anyone has ever said to me...
made it as small a voice as I possibly could, still it means I could possibly vote for you though :D

[Sinkingships7]

Pssstt... robertchahine... underneath all that metal, LaRoza's actually of the female sex...

[doorknob60]

Results suprise me. No offense, but I thought males would be at least two thirds...oh well nice too see that Linux appeals to both genders :) I'm a guy, so that's what I voted for...so yeah.

[Midwest-Linux]

What difference does in make? Male or Female, makes none to me :KS

Good point, I am here on these forums for the information. Not for the social aspect....

[robertchahine]

Pssstt... robertchahine... underneath all that metal, LaRoza's actually of the female sex...

oh nooooo!!!!

are you serious??? if you're right, then I'm sorry laroza

[Jordanwb]

Also where's the obligatory immature option of "yes please ;)"

Lol. I'm a dude.

[days_of_ruin]

Internet polls are so inaccurate its not even funny.

[Northsider]

Surprising results. Male here.

[geekygirl]

There is that avatar again :P

oh I am apparently a girl...I was impressed with the results..HOWEVER..there is nothing preventing anyone clicking female for the fun of it!

*sigh* when will you blokes get over the fact that YES there are girls/chicks/women/grrls/females etc using Linux/Ubuntu/Computers?!!

[Lorelei-]

interesting results. looks like so far the ladies are dominating.

'nother female here by the way....and one that is very much liking that two other posters on this page have david tennet as dr who as their avatars :)

[Changturkey]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttttttt tttttttttt!

[Skorzen]

Male.

[geo909]

Don't want to disappoint you guys..
If you read some earlier posts, you will see that there was some jokes giving and take and a moderator altered the poll!

[sydbat]

I want the option of "Not Nearly Enough"!!

[LaRoza]

Don't want to disappoint you guys..

Too bad I am not evil enough to silence the whistle blowers...

Perhaps if people think there is a majority female membership, they will be more respectfual.

[sydbat]

Oh LaRosa...all you Borg have such strange ideas...thinking you can assimilate everyone without resistance, making people be respectful of gender, traveling back in time to change history so the Borg control Earth...strange ideas indeed...

[LaRoza]

What does this completely unrelated member have to do with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=628426

[sydbat]

My fat fingers hitting the wrong keys...please don't kill me...LaRoza, true Queen of the Borg...

[geogur]

do we have to ask this again . quick someone post the last male /female user results . dose it matter ?

[Canis familiaris]

Female /actually I'm male, voted female to skew up the results FURTHER. ;)

[LaRoza]

Female /actually I'm male, voted female to skew up the results FURTHER. ;)

We all know (you shouldn't use your real name ;)).

As for skewing results, you can't do worse than I did....

[frenzie]

we"re taking over this poll :)
