At the risk of sounding overly cynical that's an arguement in favor or having women in some positions of authority because they can provide appropriate counselling without giving the idiots room to file a harassment complaint.

When I first came to work here I interviewed in a dress clothes, tie and sportscoat. Reasonably casual but dressy enough, it was the best I had at the time -- I no longer had any suits that would fit me. The Engineering manager at the time commented that he was glad to see I wore a tie (he alone wore a tie) so he didn't feel so isolated (or something to that extent). The other members of the interview committee wore dress slacks and a dress shirt (engineering supervisor), jeans and a dress shirt (one of the higher engineers) and the last one: fuchsia shorts and a T-shirt that practically glowed. The latter was the only programmer on staff at the time who enjoyed "breaking all the rules".
Because of the comment from the top management representative, I wore ties to work every day to match him once I was hired. After a couple of weeks he pulled me to the side and told me it was a joke, I could be a lot more casual, though he paused, perhaps not as casual as Johnny.
I wear jeans, sneakers, and a polo, or other business casual shirt.  Jeans since any of us can be sent out into the desert is pretty much just smart.

Why not? 
It gives me a philosophical look.
And nowadays with all the HR "standards" it would give me an advantage.
Seriously how did you came up with the "toga"?

I alwadys wonder if a golf shirt (business casual) brings better image for a company than a T-shirt (casual), or how much better a pair of leather shoes than a pair of sneakers.

Business casual is more about reducing the risk that someone will wear a Jack Daniels t-shirt to work, or one of those modern geeky shirts with an inside joke that seems innocuous, but isn't. (DILLIGAF)
It's easier to tell people to wear golf shirts and button-downs than to list all of the specific things they aren't allowed to have on a t-shirt.

That was a reasonable explanation. Another fact that confuses me is that business causal seems to be more strict to men than to women. For example, a lady can wear shoes that expose her painted nails without socks on but a man can't wear sandals. It could be a different requirement with different companies.

I always wondered what is wrong with a pair of sandals? I mean my white socks start the day clean.

I do wear sandals!
Well actually a pair of rather stylish Italian black leather jobs that look almost like shoes. Nice on the feet after cycling into work.
We had a girl on work experience with us last year, and when she left everyone got a nice thankyou card. Mine was addressed to 'the sandal guy'
We do have to put on a tie if we are visiting clients though. Keeps you warm when trying to work at the top of a ladder on the one tiny monitor hidden on top a rack in the server room!

Is the dress code matters for the developers who spend more then 8 hours in his/her desk. If I am consider thous guys who are write code and not directly involved into the other business, then it does not matter to me.

Depends on the environment. I work at a contract shop; with a few hundred people in the building it's more or less a given that someone is going to have a potential/client in the building at the time. Not looking trashy in front of the people in places that formal atire is still required is the justification for the business casual dress code for office workers. A polo = nice jeans is acceptable for people who're doing a decent amount of work in the highbay (machineshop, hardware testing, and other industrialish stuff).
