Heh. Amusing as that concept is, at least acknowledge that the mascot does in fact piss off people who find the devil offensive. I shudder every time I read a Family Circus strip with a very religious, angelic theme, but that doesn't make me anything except opinionated. > >>>liberty, or the creator of the first Library, Aristotle.

Where exactly? I live in Berkeley, and I can tell you that there is in fact hostility towards the school, but I haven't met a single person yet, online or offline, who says, "Grr, Berkeley, devil horns, mascot, arrr." There's great hostility towards the school from anybody who tried to register for classes there or get a refund. I don't go to the school, and I hear much of these complaints. And then there's the rest of us who live in Berkeley and have been screwed by the City making sweeping laws affecting all citizens to keep the students at bay (like all businesses, including gas stations and 7-11's, have to close early... around midnight. And the 7-11 has a sign in the window that says "Only 1 student allowed in the store at a time," which they enforce randomly against anybody in their 20's). > And imho the > linux is annoying but it never stopped me from trying Linux.
