Is that Linux Torvalds in the pullover? I guess that might be him, but . . . it doesn't look right.

By the way, I found a slightly edited version of the same pic on the nylug website. For some reason, there's some kind of white-rapper-type superimposed over this one, on the right: http://www.nylug.org/images/lwe2003/tony_marchesano/200210154146896481490707.jpg

Here's another edited version. These people are . . . odd, to say the least. Heh.

Notice the placement of the kid's hand.

At this point, I'm beginning to think that, if that's Linus Torvalds, he was edited in anyhow. I can't be bothered to open it in an image editor and find out, though, at this point.

I suspect it's rather more work to find, fit into, and maintain the figure to look good in that outfit than you realize.
