The dress code at Starbucks varies by location. Some want you to be super-conservative, some actually prefer employees to look "edgy" - it's whatever appeals to the clientele in the area.

Computer companies tend to be pretty accepting. As long as you know what you're doing, they don't typically care what you look like. There are, of course, exceptions. And you would, of course, have to know computers. But it does tend to be a more inclusive industry. Crazy hair, tattoos, stretched lobes, chains, etc. are all pretty common. I do sometimes get a raised eyebrow if the spikes on my collars/cuffs get too big. But I've never been asked to take them off.
