Seriously. People wonder why there aren't enough women in CS.

Things like the canonical test image being a sexy "come hither" look, coming from a Playboy centerfold, definitely don't help.

And it's not enough to say "well the rest of the centerfold isn't shown". Come on. We all know the source of the image.

And "tradition" is far less important than CS being a welcoming environment for all people.

Computer science is a profession. Let's use images that are appropriate for a professional setting.
