  1. Re:Stereotypes usually have some kernal of truth on Does Dell Know What Women Want In a Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Actually, you're missing out that a child's development is certainly not only dependent on their parents. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if men are naturally more aggressive, it's just I'd imagine those boys also knew boys who played with guns and understood the cultural image of men being aggressive warriors.

    Parents have a great deal less impact on what a child picks up from society than most Americans are willing to admit. Hope what you got from your experience with your niece is that, as opposed to pink being something females are genetically supposed to like.

    Bingo and a hallmark of Western ethnocentrism. Women like those things because in America that is a part of what society decides being a woman is. There are other cultures where that idea of femininity does not apply at all. Grandparent needs to read some sociology to understand how ignorant he is.

    The old fallout fanbase analogy. They hated fallout 2, they hated fallout tactics and they really hated fallout 3. Everyone hated brotherhood of steel, so no foul there.

    And you are too stupid to realize that is irrelevant. The spirit of the model is, of course, they spend money for TV shows and then just give them away over the airwaves. They then find an alternate product to supplant this. But I encourage you, continue replying to every post with the same answer and troll away.

    Then ask the original developers to support it. You can't just run around claiming someone supports even a minor change if they don't.

    No, design patents are not idiotic, they help prevent terrible knockoffs. They can be used in idiotic ways (http://www.bluejeanscable.com/legal/mcp/index.htm), but they are not in and of themselves idiotic.

    I don't particularly agree with the outcome of Windows/Lindows case myself, but thats beyond why I did the one line reply. The whole discussion was mixing the two terms up. You just came out and said it so I had to throw out my line.

    Of course, the whole point is, the EFF said the guy got his stuff taken because he was using linux. I am not a lawyer and do not understand what is needed to gain a warrant but the EFF certainly is guilty of sensationalism there.

  22. Re:What's the Story on EFF Sues Apple Over BluWiki Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    What pretty much happened was this guy outed some other dude. The other dude then went to the police and detailed this guy's illegal actions which were said to include processing stolen laptops, changing grades through unauthorized system access, and copyright infringement of music and movies in a large scale.

    The police then got a warrent easily from the judge due to this testimony and took the guy's stuff. Then the EFF comes along and says the guy got targeted for using linux.

    Actually I would've figured since you're here on slashdot posting about an EFF article, you've read the other EFF articles and know what the hell he was talking about. Enjoy your ignorance regardless.
