Can you please give me an example of a gendered word, and what its gender is?
My understanding is generally that "grammatical gender" implies that for example different articles and endings are used by words syntactically around that word. I cannot think of an english sentence where swapping out one noun for another would affect the words around it,
"It" is used for all inanimate objects. Grammatical gender isnt about what pronoun you use-- that depends on the physiological gender of the subject-- but on the word itself.
Teacher in english, like with every impersonal noun, is "the teacher". In german it is the masculine "der Lehrer", rather than "das..." or "die...". In both cases you would use either "he" or "she" depending on the sex of the teacher, irrespective of the "gender" of "Lehrer".
Its worth noting that there have been 3 new iterations of Java in the last 4 weeks, each fixing security holes that the last left. All software has security flaws, but Im beginning to think that all security flaws had their genesis in JRE; it certainly seems like an endless source of them.

The ubuntu bug had to do with bad drivers and / or firmware; when the affected distro was installed on a computer with the affected NIC (which was the completely different e1000), it would render that NIC unusable, even afterreboots.
This bug appears to be triggered by receiving a crafted packet, remotely, and is fixable with a reboot. It also affects a different nic.
Its enough for a paper, but not for the statements youre making-- not when your controls arent equal, not without eliminating experimental bias, and not without corroborating studies.
RCA would later file an interference suit against Farnsworth, claiming Zworykin's 1923 patent had priority over Farnsworth's design, despite the fact it could present no evidence that Zworykin had actually produced a functioning transmitter tube before 1931. Farnsworth had lost two interference claims to Zworykin in 1928, but this time he prevailed and the U.S. Patent Office rendered a decision in 1934 awarding priority of the invention of the image dissector to Farnsworth. RCA lost a subsequent appeal, but litigation over a variety of issues continued for several years with Sarnoff finally agreeing to pay Farnsworth royalties.
....
In September 1939, after a more than decade long legal battle, RCA finally conceded to a multi-year licensing agreement concerning Farnsworth's 1927 patent for Television totaling $1 million.
It looks like his financial difficulties were completely unrelated and did not come until the 60s/70s.
Microsoft's monopoly market didnt have insurmountable barriers to entry. Parent isnt wrong, hes just arguing a point against people who are not disagreeing (AFAICT).
Lets talk "Intel" once they truly hit monopoly status, dial forward about 20 years, and then talk about how easy it is to topple the big guy. Do you know how much it costs to make a 12nm fab? Let alone one that can compete with Intel's stuff?
One kind of thing makes it a zillion times easier to recognize a problem when it crops up, and makes it so you only ever have to troubleshoot an issue once.
How much more awful would it be if something similar happened next week on more computers, and he had to troubleshoot it all over again-- not even knowing whether the machines had NICs in common?
"Everything blew up" is a problem. "Everything blew up, I dont know why, and it will take 3 weeks to find a solution" is a huge problem. "Everything blew up AGAIN, and I it will take another 3 weeks because our environment is heterogenous" means you are out of a job.

Believing that capitalism generally works (it does, and this is historically verifiable) doesnt mean youre in bed with Ayn Rand or that it makes all involved moral actors.
He spoke of competition and innovation, not honest brokers. The beauty of capitalism is that it doesnt matter if youre honest or not, if you provide crappy service you will be out competed.
Youre ignoring the whole "the controls werent equal, and the researchers didnt bother to control for experimental bias" thing. Thats not exactly minor, and criticism (even from "neutral" observers) for the princeton study isnt exactly rare.
If I read the criticisms correctly they also didnt bother measuring how much chow was eaten, which makes it pretty hard to link the weight gain to HFCS.
The claim that the metabolic consequences of HFCS and sucrose differ radically should raise eyebrows among physiologists. While I’d be skeptical of any results that find a difference, I would find good evidence for differences fascinating...... So if I were a metabolic physiologist, I might be tempted to look into how HFCS makes rats less active.
Except that I wouldn’t because after reading the paper, I would note that the experimental design, statistical analysis, and interpretation of the results in Bocarsly et al 2010 are deeply flawed....... [Issues]
Experimental Design. The experiment lacks a 24-h Sucrose treatment and thus any interpretation of the 24-h HFCS treatment confounds two potential factors, time (12-h v. 24-h) and sugar (HFCS v. sucrose).
Second, and most importantly, because this is relevant to all of their results, the authors either fail or make no mention of controlling for type I error using something like a Tukey-HSD test
And at the end of the day, the real issue is that one study does not prove a point, particularly when it doesnt even begin to offer a mechanism whereby 5% more fructose would cause a significant difference in weight. Studies showing negative effects from EM radiation come to mind.
You're way out in left field. Caps suck, but Ive never hit a cap, and on occasion I download 2-3 ISOs @ once (32bit, 64bit, etc), and I've gamed using several BT-based games (SC2, WoW, LoL).
Your "analogy" would lead one to believe that people are hitting caps and being denied service left and right. They arent. It sucks that "all you can eat internet" is out the window, but the percentage of people it actually affects is quite low, I would be astonished if it were more than a few percent.
Yea, it just has the minor problem that you have to rip up every side-road to get fiber all the way to the house.
Yet why do they always want to charge more
Because people will pay it, and it would be business lunacy to take less money rather than more money. Would you sell your car for half as much to "be a good citizen and support society"? Noone does that, watch the hypocrisy.
Privatisation for all those services is crap and should be prevented and undone where it has occurred.
"Privatization" and "undo" implies that these were once public utilities. They werent.

English natives dont have a conception of masculine vs feminine words, and it honestly is a little confusing; Why must a word have a gender?

Thats why sane proponents of capitalism dont go straight Ayn Rand cutthroat libertarian.
I dont think anyone here was discussing removing all regulation, just avoiding "too tightly regulated".

Criticisms of the princeton study
The claim that the metabolic consequences of HFCS and sucrose differ radically should raise eyebrows among physiologists. While I’d be skeptical of any results that find a difference, I would find good evidence for differences fascinating...... So if I were a metabolic physiologist, I might be tempted to look into how HFCS makes rats less active.

And so on, if you wish to read.
Another article which brings up a different issue...
Complicating things further, the researchers cite a related study of female rats that found no difference in weight gain between animals that consumed HFCS or sugar over an eight-week period.
And at the end of the day, the real issue is that one study does not prove a point, particularly when it doesnt even begin to offer a mechanism whereby 5% more fructose would cause a significant difference in weight. Studies showing negative effects from EM radiation come to mind.

As for the others, they are an extreme, extreme miniority. I believe the "harassing dead soldiers" thing isnt so much "christians" as it is "the WBC".
