Rather than continually repost, read my other posts about what I found on a Microsoft website by going to the privacy settings of Windows Defender.

In either event, the Express setup settings enable it by default.
S is it me lying, or Microsoft lying? Your position is getting hard to defend.
There is no keylogger in Windows 10. Let's be absolutely clear about that so that the myth can die.
You are simply incorrect. I copied and pasted the exact text from a Microsoft website that I acced through my W10 Machine via the Windows defender privacy settings. You should put the myth that there is no kelogger to rest. For your info:

So in the matter of something that bothers so many users so much, why would Microsoft continue to specifically say that they key log your text? And that they "scrub it"?
Regardless - the myth is that they don't keylog you, not that they do.
2)- You have agreed to have all your text sent to Microsoft (note that THEY "scrub the data", and they are not legally bound by the terms used [it's not like "Microsoft shall recieved pre-scrubbed data" followed by a definition of scrubbing], meaning that they GET the data RAW AS YOU TYPE IT).
3)- You come here and imply there's no keylogger.
Wake the fuck up. You consent to it, and there's a service that sends it. It's a fucking keylogger by the definition of a goddamned keylogger.
The denialism is strong in these folks. They are so smitten with Microsoft that they now even declare Microsoft of lying about what Microsoft does.
I have this image of them refusing to look at the Eula.

Plants are living things too. They don't like being eaten.
Not certain if you are being sarcastic, but yes. All life is amazing and precious, from bacteria through plants and animals. And until we become chemoautotrophs, we do not live except by killing other living things.
And since I prefer being alive to being dead, I eat what we are designed to eat, which is a mixture of plants and what the vegans call corpse flesh. All very yummy. And all once alive. I prefer the American indian concept of being thankful that something died to allow me to continue living.
I eat lots of meat, so no need to play pick on the vegan with me. Im hardly one. I love meat, I make lots of good home cured sausages and home made bacon. and barbeque with impunity. I make a seriously kickass smoked venison bologna.
But Yes, the act of killing the animal is not particulaly pleasant.
I think I might be arguing at cross purposes here.
You made what I assume was sarcastic comment (But no, it's pretty obvious that one dongle joke can cause a young lady who had a driving passion to simply drop it) that implied (at least to my ear) that it was ridiculous that a dongle joke would drive such a person out of the industry.
My reply is that the vast majority of programmers aren't there with a driving passion, and thus, yes, juvenile antics might make them look elsewhere.
I'm not interested in working with a person who cannot withstand anything they consider negative. What is this disinterested person going to do when the boss - let's assume female - gives them a task they simply are not that interested in doing?
Just quit? What if a man asks this woman on a date? She just moves back in with mom nad dad? What if there is just a man she doesn't like? Again - gone?
A person with no drive that is easily turned away is no loss at all.
I have no idea where you got any claim from me about who was doing the harassing from. Unless proven otherwise, I assume that you are professional in your conduct.
More professional than most. I will work to get the job finished, and do an excellent job as well. I have no time for the easily dissuaded however. Tell me though. In your plan, my intolerance for that sort of person, and your wishes to include almost disinterested people - since these people include women, am I being sexist by not wanting the disinterested in my team? I'd hire an interested, dedicated female at once. A female who is just there to pick up a paycheck - am I sexist for not hiring her?
Women are somehow utterly destroyed by Lena Söderberg's face and dongle jokes.
Ironically, the last one, in an effort to portray the photo of Lena as sexually offensive, the ladies decided to use a photo of Fabio. Was that sexist on their part?
Mathematics, computer science and engineering fields, Needell says “are dominated by men. But people are trying to recruit women, and the way not to do it is by showing this (image).”
“I don’t know if the Fabio image will take off but I think what it will do is stick in people’s minds. And when they think about using the Lena image, they might think (about) using at least a neutral image.”
And then maybe the next woman to take a computer science class won’t have to hear the snickering. Maybe, she’ll feel just a little more welcome among the mathematicians, scientists and engineers.
Tell me why this is not real? This links are not made by me - These links are made by people who are in agreement with you, and they are indeed, real opinions, real links.
And it is such fail. Now, here I am, a heterosexual male, and I see the photo of Fabio. I see him. I say - "Okay, I can do my image processing experiments with this." I don't take the least bit of offense to the photo. A good looking guy. Right away, their attempt at reverse sexualization is a huge fail because most men are not insulted, nor do they feel demeaned by that photo.
Perhaps these ladies, who feel threatened by a photo of Ms. Söderberg, are transferring their feeling threatend to men, because they believe men think the same way. The answer in a silly form, is probably this: https://imgur.com/gallery/O9Y5...
I don't fel the least threatened by He-Man. Unrealistic portrayal of presumed desireable male features. I find Barbie is an unrealistic doll
You beat me to it. The only possible reason for a 5G network to be involved with telesurgery, would be to serve as a backup to the backup wired network, which itself is a backup to the primary wired network.
You have to look at the bigger picture. This is another version of what I call BPL syndrome. BPL was Broadband over Power Line, which promised to bring you the internet without running extra cables - right from a power socket. Problem was, it delivered DSL speeds at best, interfered with amateur radio and trans polar commercial airline flights and could be interrupted easily by kids with Citizen Band radios. And it might just accidentally deliveras much as a couple KV to your household wiring in the efvent of failure. Didn't work for crap.
But it sounded awesome. So it was a grab to get investor and public money. Same with the Cellular service right by the GPS service - sounds good! Failed
So if you're still reading, this is more of the same crap - freaking 5G will save people lives! No it won't.
The interesting question is whether allowing surgeons to telecommute makes you more or less likely to be chopped open by some hack.
Now that we are planning on making surgery part of the Internet of Things, it looks like the transition is just about complete. Hopefully the process will be 100 percent secure.
A side issue is that those really poor backwaters you refer to will be hard pressed to afford the machinery, and of course the personnel to run it calibrate it, sterilize it, and keep it in working order.
And I'm really curious about just what this is supposed to free up. If I might, I can relay the experience I had just a few weeks ago. My better half had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and a few other things related to a very old surgery on he shoulder.
We did get a renowned expert to do the work. He is based in a very large medical center. So on his day for surgery, which is Fridays, he travels the mile to the hospital, ( it is a huge complex) spends the entire day doing surgeries, and it is a long and busy day.
So I'm trying to figure out how exactly this is supposed to be improved. The actual surgery was relatively short. She had consults and spent a lot of time with the surgeon as he personally examined and manipulated her shoulder and interpreted the x-rays and MRI and sonograms. Then he held a consult with her local doctor. This is not incidental stuff - this is an integral part of what makes him so highly regarded.
So the concept that I think people have in their heads is of some hyper-surgeon who spends an entire day doing only surgery, and does only that for his entire workweek.
I suppose this could do world class surgery if you hired a world class surgeon to do the surgery remotely, and another world class one to examine the patient and do the manipulations needed, and to do the consulting. I do doubt however that it will ever be the assembly line surgeries many seem to think will happen, in no small part because the whole process is very painstaking, and I suspect the surgery portion can be exhausting.
And of course, now the internet of things aspect means another layer of issues on top of everything else.
For while I think that vegans are a bunch of pretentious and annoying fucks, the concept of not having to kill an animal to get the meat protein we need would be interesting.
Maybe they simply know when people installed Windows 10 and what the average computer use per day is (from their own studies), and, actually, "11 billion hours" is not meant to be taken as particularly accurate.
Certainly time of use logging isn't a big deal. I think that its just another part of the surveillance that windows 10 does on everyone.
More interesting is their collecting data opn every webpage you visit, and what they call inout personalization, which includes a key logger.
Microsoft collects and uses data about your speech, inking (handwriting), and typing on Windows devices to help improve and personalize our ability to correctly recognize your input.
For example, to provide personalized speech recognition, we collect your voice input, as well your name and nickname, your recent calendar events and the names of the people in your appointments, and information about your contacts including names and nicknames. This additional data enables us to better recognize people and events when you dictate messages or documents.
Additionally, your typed and handwritten words are collected to provide you a personalized user dictionary, help you type and write on your device with better character recognition, and provide you with text suggestions as you type or write. Typing data includes a sample of characters and words you type, which we scrub to remove IDs, IP addresses, and other potential identifiers. (emphasis mine) It also includes associated performance data, such as changes you manually make to text as well as words you've added to the dictionary.
And while you can turn it off, to think they still are not collecting data from you is probably naive. I have my Windows Pro machines set to delay updates as long as possible, and Microsoft updates when it feels like it. I have no doubt they collect everything they say they do, no matter the settings. I have a number of networked machines without internet access They are set to not update - why not - they can't, and they are barking at me that they can't connect to update. This is telling me that my home experience is true - you have no choice. The one machine with interent access will not ever have anything I would not want broadcast to the world.
Which is a pity, because other than Microsoft's surveillance, the W10 Operating system is pretty darn nice.
I was waiting for this MIcrosoft is teh awesome! people

A fucking key logger! You are giving the keys to the Kingdom away to Microsoft, and you're going to reply that somehow you aren't.
How many of those hours were just because someone didn't shut down when they were done? And why is this even being monitored?
Why? Probably for the same reason they implemented a key logger. You are constantly monitored on W10, and hours of use it probably the most benign of the bunch.
Because Microsoft fans will put up with anything Microsoft does. - Microsoft pees on your leg and tells you its raining.
Seems to me it is more of a lack of oversight of charter schools and prisons, rather then privatization being inherently wrong. Let's pretend a company can provide a noticeably better school for a lower cost, I do not see how that is a bad thing.
I'm not certain that you are quite clear on the market. If a company is running a prison, and is not privately held, the American system mandates that it must make more money the next report. If not, the shareholders bolt, or more likely, another group stages a takeover.
So what you are left with is trying to figure out how to make more money every 3 months.
In a system built on housing people there are only so many ways to do that. You need more prisoners, so that you can gather more money, get the government to enact longer sentencing so as to realize more capital per prisoner or make the cost of keeping each prisoner lower.
The rise of the for profit prison corresponded with the get tough on crime, three strikes and you're in for life, and victim's rights movement, and with sending people to prison for long terms for petty offenses such as marijuana possession.
The bizzare thing is that no one caught the obvious endgame. People were in the "fuck 'em, let 'em eat fish heads" mode, yet were forgetting one big fact. Sending a person to prison for life for stealing a slice of pizza is financially idiotic for people who think that Taxes are the product of the devil.http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Stealing-one-slice-of-pizza-results-in-life-3150629.php
I choose to think that these people merely had an oversight rather than make decisions so stupid that they need someone to remind them to breathe..
So the prisons cost more and more over time, and the people who hate paying taxes, will just pay more in the end. If they don't, it isn't a modern day capitalist system.
Why do we have private companies in other areas besides schools? Why doesn't the state run all businesses?
Because some things should not be run for profit, some things should.
Most things should be run for profit in fact. For me, the dividing line is money over life. Owning a farm or a widget factory is money over life. Yes there is safety and all, but the main idea is to provide something, and profit off it. Then you get to life over money. The idea of running schools, prisons and healthcare as for profit industries is now putting money over life, and the student is not a commodity, the prisoner is a commodity that has an even more pernicious aspect of needing to have more criminals created for increased profit, and healthcare has proven the points.
Somehow we used to be able to do this. Somehow other countries are doing it successfully now.
Mark my words, this never would have happened if Reagan were still president, and the science department hadn't quit making me handle mercury in my cupped hands for demonstrations.
Fear not good citizen! This crazy talk of extra elements is just more of the liberal claptrap spread by these same scientists who have tried to foist the thoroughly debunked earthal heating lie upon the world.
Stay the course. If Jeebuz wanted us to have more elements than the ones gawd already gave us, it would be in the ultimate science book. Its not, so take that atheists!
Yet when I look at the salary number on my contract I seem to be taking home more than a few of my friends who are working in the same industry for a different company yet stick to their set 9-5s. So am I not being compensated?
Yes. Yes, yes, yes. One of the oddest aspects that some co workers could not understand was why I was making so much more than they were. We weren't in a place where everyone know each other's salaries, but I knew theirs for financial scheduling, and they knew that I was getting paid way beyond the job's pay grade, which required special paperwork to be filed every year to deal with my raise.
I did almost all the traveling for my department, I did all the meetings, I did the computer support for them and the suits. I did most of the overtime, including finishing work started by them, as needed because they always had a reason that they couldn't work late. And I could do everyone's job, while they had all stratified themselves into niches, so none could do mine.
Altogether way too many slash dotters have such a dim view of their employers that they don't realize they themselves are making the largest contribution to their hatred of their job and employment limitations.
As my father once told me - "Its almost impossible to get fired without being an active participant in the process.". And its the same with getting ahead.
I feel at this point, making any significant group (say more than 1%) feel excluded because of company culture is not particularly acceptable.
The Burkha set applauds you! They've been feeling excluded for a long time now.
You see, this is the trouble with your everyone must be included ideas. You end up supporting the Saudi's not allowing women to drive cars because of Diversity, and the strong anti-sexual ideas that some others have.
If I might, I made a lot of videos at my workplace. They went through the typical process, form storyboard to shooting to rough cut to screening to final cut.
One of the problems that we had was going through the rough cut stage. Because as I tonld them, in the aggregate, no one is going to like anything about this. And sure enough, there was criticism about every single part of what I did - and paradoxically, everyone loved the videos. How can this be?
Everyone has a different opinion. But if I were to completely redo everything according to every criticism, the same thing would happen again. Then again. I would never ever get done, because it's just not possible. So I made the final cut, taking the best suggestions, and yes, ignoring the other ones. You cannot have a tyranny of the utmost minority. Because at some point, you cater to the most extreme views.
And seriously - do you really want the sort of world that feminist Amanda Marcotte envisions, where asking a woman on a date even once constitutes harassment? http://www.washingtonexaminer....
You might be pleased to know that Amanda must be pleased that the High school boy who asked the woman out (Miss America) at a school assembly was suspended for 3 days for his crime.
Are you going to celebrate this potential rapists punishment? Did he not get what he deserved? I wonder if Miss America quit because he asked her out? Regardless, it's a victory for you.
But no, it's pretty obvious that one dongle joke can cause a young lady who had a driving passion to simply drop it, and leave that bin of sexist and harassing male pigs in IT, and go for a job in a clean field like Law or business.
I think you want to look at this a little more statistically.
How odd. You might take a look where sexual harassment cases have been filed - oh those statistics - let us look at them.
apparently 37 percent of sexual harassment claims come from IT....... NO! they do not!
http://www.care2.com/causes/wh...http://feministing.com/2014/10...
37 percent of sexual harassment claims come from the Restaurant industry, which employs 7 percent of American Women. Perhaps the Restaraunt industry only hires off duty IT workers, who feel the need to mess with more women, when not at their main job no doubt.
Another statistic
Top 5 Industries with Highest Sexual Harassment Incidents
Note there is some discrepancy there - I do not see Restaurants in that list.
I am inclined to accept the numbers however, because that are feminist and'or other anti harassment pages.
Now of course, just because IT doesn't make that list doesn't mean we are all white knights - that would be naive.
But the frequency with which men in IT are portrayed as testosterone fueld monsters, just ready to grope or demean women, and the increasingly lame examples used to "prove" our evil ways has gone goofy. And yes, being offended at Lena Söderberg's face, or even her body is ridiculous. We will touch on more of the sex negative business in a bit.
The *vast* majority of competent programmers are *not* the incredibly obsessive uber-geeks with a driving passion.
As a person who fits your demeaning and oiffensive title, I gotta ask - What gives you the right to call men names? NOt cool man - not cool at all.
They are simply people with reasonable amounts of talent and ability that could comprise the 20-80th percentile of programmers.
I don't get where you are going here. Are you saying that people such as myself should be excluded from the work we do because of our passion for doing it? By the way, your sexist innuendo that people like me are the ones doing the harassing is pretty offensive as well. I actually was very careful about my interactions with women until I undersood what they might find offensive. Because not all women are sex negative. A few of the women I worked with had downright filthy minds.
They are people who probably have a wide variety of job choices and for whom job environment is as important as the actual job task.
And yes, seeing the sort of juvenile antics that are utterly inappropriate to any modern workplace *is* going to discourage them.
I see you ascribe to the weak woman model. The person who cannot handle any negativity, and uses it as a reason fo failure, The very strange thing is people like my wife find that idea very offensive. I find that offensive.
In fact, it *has* discouraged a lot of women from entering the field. And again, sure, there are some who *can* survive that culture, but there's absolutely no reason they should *have* to do so.
I don't think so. A woman who worked with me used to say that all the time when we were talking about someone being disgruntled. Anyhow, I always though it was a cute saying - although she said gruntle much better than I.
Anyway , if the article is using difficult words that does not mean the author is overstretching himself in order to appear smart.
No, but his choice of words, at least to me, tends to lead me away form what he is trying to accomplish. "Incestuous" for example. Yes, he uses it correctly, if in a fairly obscure manner. But the visions of incestuous relationships between family members comes up, then I have to play catch-up with the rest of his sentences.
I have no issue with using the big words. Some times its even fun. A put down or a complaint can be devastating at times using language as a bludgeon. But to me, his statements read overly complicated, and a tad bit pretentious. I do understand them. I do not understand why he chooses those words. So at least for me, its a failure on his part.

Then he held a consult with her local doctor. This is not incidental stuff - this is an integral part of what makes him so highly regarded.
So the concept that I think people have in their heads is of some hyper-surgeon who spends an entire day doing only surgery, and does only that for his entire workweek.
I suppose this could do world class surgery if you hired a world class surgeon to do the surgery remotely, and another world class one to examine the patient and do the manipulations needed, and to do the consulting. I do doubt however that it will ever be the assembly line surgeries many seem to think will happen, in no small part because the whole process is very painstaking, and I suspect the surgery portion can be exhausting.
And of course, now the internet of things aspect means another layer of issues on top of everything else.
For while I think that vegans are a bunch of pretentious and annoying fucks, the concept of not having to kill an animal to get the meat protein we need would be interesting.
See this comment in the Slashdot story, Microsoft Fixing Windows 8 Flaws, But Leaving Them In Windows 7.
The amzing thing is the number of people who will be on this thread now to deny what Microsoft is saying what they do.
That sounds less certain.
Maybe they simply know when people installed Windows 10 and what the average computer use per day is (from their own studies), and, actually, "11 billion hours" is not meant to be taken as particularly accurate.
Certainly time of use logging isn't a big deal. I think that its just another part of the surveillance that windows 10 does on everyone.
More interesting is their collecting data opn every webpage you visit, and what they call inout personalization, which includes a key logger.
Microsoft collects and uses data about your speech, inking (handwriting), and typing on Windows devices to help improve and personalize our ability to correctly recognize your input.
For example, to provide personalized speech recognition, we collect your voice input, as well your name and nickname, your recent calendar events and the names of the people in your appointments, and information about your contacts including names and nicknames. This additional data enables us to better recognize people and events when you dictate messages or documents.
Additionally, your typed and handwritten words are collected to provide you a personalized user dictionary, help you type and write on your device with better character recognition, and provide you with text suggestions as you type or write. Typing data includes a sample of characters and words you type, which we scrub to remove IDs, IP addresses, and other potential identifiers. (emphasis mine) It also includes associated performance data, such as changes you manually make to text as well as words you've added to the dictionary.
And while you can turn it off, to think they still are not collecting data from you is probably naive. I have my Windows Pro machines set to delay updates as long as possible, and Microsoft updates when it feels like it. I have no doubt they collect everything they say they do, no matter the settings. I have a number of networked machines without internet access They are set to not update - why not - they can't, and they are barking at me that they can't connect to update. This is telling me that my home experience is true - you have no choice. The one machine with interent access will not ever have anything I would not want broadcast to the world.
Which is a pity, because other than Microsoft's surveillance, the W10 Operating system is pretty darn nice.
From their privacy policy:
If you open a file, we may collect information about the file, the application used to open the file, and how long it takes any use [of] it for purposes such as improving performance, or [if you] enter text, we may collect typed characters, and use them for purposes such as improving autocomplete and spell check features. A fucking key logger! You are giving the keys to the Kingdom away to Microsoft, and you're going to reply that somehow you aren't.
How many of those hours were just because someone didn't shut down when they were done? And why is this even being monitored?
Why? Probably for the same reason they implemented a key logger. You are constantly monitored on W10, and hours of use it probably the most benign of the bunch. Because Microsoft fans will put up with anything Microsoft does. - Microsoft pees on your leg and tells you its raining.
Donald Trump has his total party platform free of charge.
Seems to me it is more of a lack of oversight of charter schools and prisons, rather then privatization being inherently wrong. Let's pretend a company can provide a noticeably better school for a lower cost, I do not see how that is a bad thing.
I'm not certain that you are quite clear on the market. If a company is running a prison, and is not privately held, the American system mandates that it must make more money the next report. If not, the shareholders bolt, or more likely, another group stages a takeover.
So what you are left with is trying to figure out how to make more money every 3 months.
In a system built on housing people there are only so many ways to do that. You need more prisoners, so that you can gather more money, get the government to enact longer sentencing so as to realize more capital per prisoner or make the cost of keeping each prisoner lower.
The rise of the for profit prison corresponded with the get tough on crime, three strikes and you're in for life, and victim's rights movement, and with sending people to prison for long terms for petty offenses such as marijuana possession.
The bizzare thing is that no one caught the obvious endgame. People were in the "fuck 'em, let 'em eat fish heads" mode, yet were forgetting one big fact. Sending a person to prison for life for stealing a slice of pizza is financially idiotic for people who think that Taxes are the product of the devil.http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Stealing-one-slice-of-pizza-results-in-life-3150629.php
I choose to think that these people merely had an oversight rather than make decisions so stupid that they need someone to remind them to breathe.. So the prisons cost more and more over time, and the people who hate paying taxes, will just pay more in the end. If they don't, it isn't a modern day capitalist system.
Meanwhile, liberals won't recognize any element north of bismuth. They're all eeee-vil!
If you looked at who made the first atomic weapons, they were damned liberal.
Meantime, I deny the existance of radioactivity. Little particles flying off of solid rocks and metals. That's crazy talk.
Why do we have private companies in other areas besides schools? Why doesn't the state run all businesses?
Because some things should not be run for profit, some things should.
Most things should be run for profit in fact. For me, the dividing line is money over life. Owning a farm or a widget factory is money over life. Yes there is safety and all, but the main idea is to provide something, and profit off it. Then you get to life over money. The idea of running schools, prisons and healthcare as for profit industries is now putting money over life, and the student is not a commodity, the prisoner is a commodity that has an even more pernicious aspect of needing to have more criminals created for increased profit, and healthcare has proven the points.
Somehow we used to be able to do this. Somehow other countries are doing it successfully now.
Its just a fleshlight with a vibrator attached.
Mark my words, this never would have happened if Reagan were still president, and the science department hadn't quit making me handle mercury in my cupped hands for demonstrations.
Fear not good citizen! This crazy talk of extra elements is just more of the liberal claptrap spread by these same scientists who have tried to foist the thoroughly debunked earthal heating lie upon the world.
Stay the course. If Jeebuz wanted us to have more elements than the ones gawd already gave us, it would be in the ultimate science book. Its not, so take that atheists!
Yet when I look at the salary number on my contract I seem to be taking home more than a few of my friends who are working in the same industry for a different company yet stick to their set 9-5s. So am I not being compensated?
Yes. Yes, yes, yes. One of the oddest aspects that some co workers could not understand was why I was making so much more than they were. We weren't in a place where everyone know each other's salaries, but I knew theirs for financial scheduling, and they knew that I was getting paid way beyond the job's pay grade, which required special paperwork to be filed every year to deal with my raise.
I did almost all the traveling for my department, I did all the meetings, I did the computer support for them and the suits. I did most of the overtime, including finishing work started by them, as needed because they always had a reason that they couldn't work late. And I could do everyone's job, while they had all stratified themselves into niches, so none could do mine. Altogether way too many slash dotters have such a dim view of their employers that they don't realize they themselves are making the largest contribution to their hatred of their job and employment limitations.
As my father once told me - "Its almost impossible to get fired without being an active participant in the process.". And its the same with getting ahead.
I
I feel at this point, making any significant group (say more than 1%) feel excluded because of company culture is not particularly acceptable.
The Burkha set applauds you! They've been feeling excluded for a long time now.
You see, this is the trouble with your everyone must be included ideas. You end up supporting the Saudi's not allowing women to drive cars because of Diversity, and the strong anti-sexual ideas that some others have.
If I might, I made a lot of videos at my workplace. They went through the typical process, form storyboard to shooting to rough cut to screening to final cut.
One of the problems that we had was going through the rough cut stage. Because as I tonld them, in the aggregate, no one is going to like anything about this. And sure enough, there was criticism about every single part of what I did - and paradoxically, everyone loved the videos. How can this be?
Everyone has a different opinion. But if I were to completely redo everything according to every criticism, the same thing would happen again. Then again. I would never ever get done, because it's just not possible. So I made the final cut, taking the best suggestions, and yes, ignoring the other ones. You cannot have a tyranny of the utmost minority. Because at some point, you cater to the most extreme views.
And seriously - do you really want the sort of world that feminist Amanda Marcotte envisions, where asking a woman on a date even once constitutes harassment? http://www.washingtonexaminer....
You might be pleased to know that Amanda must be pleased that the High school boy who asked the woman out (Miss America) at a school assembly was suspended for 3 days for his crime.
Are you going to celebrate this potential rapists punishment? Did he not get what he deserved? I wonder if Miss America quit because he asked her out? Regardless, it's a victory for you.
But no, it's pretty obvious that one dongle joke can cause a young lady who had a driving passion to simply drop it, and leave that bin of sexist and harassing male pigs in IT, and go for a job in a clean field like Law or business.
I think you want to look at this a little more statistically.
How odd. You might take a look where sexual harassment cases have been filed - oh those statistics - let us look at them.
apparently 37 percent of sexual harassment claims come from IT ....... NO! they do not!
http://www.care2.com/causes/wh... http://feministing.com/2014/10... 37 percent of sexual harassment claims come from the Restaurant industry, which employs 7 percent of American Women. Perhaps the Restaraunt industry only hires off duty IT workers, who feel the need to mess with more women, when not at their main job no doubt.
Another statistic
Top 5 Industries with Highest Sexual Harassment Incidents
1. Business, Trade, Banking, and Finance
2. Sales and Marketing
3. Hospitality
4. Civil Service
5. Education, Lecturing, and Teaching
http://brandongaille.com/23-st...
Note there is some discrepancy there - I do not see Restaurants in that list.
I am inclined to accept the numbers however, because that are feminist and'or other anti harassment pages.
Now of course, just because IT doesn't make that list doesn't mean we are all white knights - that would be naive.
But the frequency with which men in IT are portrayed as testosterone fueld monsters, just ready to grope or demean women, and the increasingly lame examples used to "prove" our evil ways has gone goofy. And yes, being offended at Lena Söderberg's face, or even her body is ridiculous. We will touch on more of the sex negative business in a bit.
The *vast* majority of competent programmers are *not* the incredibly obsessive uber-geeks with a driving passion.
As a person who fits your demeaning and oiffensive title, I gotta ask - What gives you the right to call men names? NOt cool man - not cool at all.
They are simply people with reasonable amounts of talent and ability that could comprise the 20-80th percentile of programmers.
I don't get where you are going here. Are you saying that people such as myself should be excluded from the work we do because of our passion for doing it? By the way, your sexist innuendo that people like me are the ones doing the harassing is pretty offensive as well. I actually was very careful about my interactions with women until I undersood what they might find offensive. Because not all women are sex negative. A few of the women I worked with had downright filthy minds.
They are people who probably have a wide variety of job choices and for whom job environment is as important as the actual job task.
And yes, seeing the sort of juvenile antics that are utterly inappropriate to any modern workplace *is* going to discourage them.
I see you ascribe to the weak woman model. The person who cannot handle any negativity, and uses it as a reason fo failure, The very strange thing is people like my wife find that idea very offensive. I find that offensive.
In fact, it *has* discouraged a lot of women from entering the field. And again, sure, there are some who *can* survive that culture, but there's absolutely no reason they should *have* to do so.
Tell me though - Why do we not hear about
Needs gruntled? Is that correct english?
I don't think so. A woman who worked with me used to say that all the time when we were talking about someone being disgruntled. Anyhow, I always though it was a cute saying - although she said gruntle much better than I.
Anyway , if the article is using difficult words that does not mean the author is overstretching himself in order to appear smart.
No, but his choice of words, at least to me, tends to lead me away form what he is trying to accomplish. "Incestuous" for example. Yes, he uses it correctly, if in a fairly obscure manner. But the visions of incestuous relationships between family members comes up, then I have to play catch-up with the rest of his sentences.
I have no issue with using the big words. Some times its even fun. A put down or a complaint can be devastating at times using language as a bludgeon. But to me, his statements read overly complicated, and a tad bit pretentious. I do understand them. I do not understand why he chooses those words. So at least for me, its a failure on his part.
He needs to eschew obfuscation.
How is it that there hasn't yet been a single "I for one welcome our new insect overlords" post? Is this not Slashdot?
Or a "Why is this even on Sladshdot?" comment.
Although a Beowulf cluster of enzyme altered ants would be awesome.
