    School has become emasculation factories, because everything about being a boy is considered bad in the progressive morality.

    2, an original game-boy and a s-nes. Pretty much the same amount my great-cousin currently have. I was just not a gamer-type guy.

    At 13, I started programming in Basic, at 14, I moved to C, and at 16, I wrote a Java SMTP implementation and an MUA, mostly due to the toolchains/environment availability on Windows. Unfortunately, I spent a year offline after that, where I mostly played with LaTeX [and myself... all along the way].

    Actually, the more I see the behavior of women in western countries, the more I find that Islamic (and religious culture) probably have a point segregating women... Not that I agree with them, to the contrary, but western women are just the worst righteous / egoist / egocentric / presumptuous people there is.

    Btw, Randi Harper (aka "freebsdgirl") is writting game too. The principle is actually super duper easy, try to have a rational debate with her, and get flagged as an harasser. The more social media profile you get banned from, the more points you win. Currently, my best score is 2, but working on getting a 3rd point.

    Girls *do* write computer games... Zoe Quinn wrote a thrilling game, it is so enjoyable the first page features a link to a suicide hotline !

    No, seriously, I have no idea on which kind of utterly bad trip she was when she wrote that... "thing". Even more calling it a "game". And worth, she tried to market that thing by literally fucking around... She might have mixed shroom, CNS depressant, and a whole cocktail of other drugs to get there...

    Saying what is stated in the article is actually the same as saying that girls are better at literacy because they tends to be more interested by complex novel, rather than comics. By comparison, reading Emile Zola is so much of a boring pain. I hated it. However, reading Tolkien or even Jack London is so enjoyable...

  12. Re:Doesn't surprise me but... on In UK Study, Girls Best Boys At Making Computer Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    Boys' games are easy: If someone/something attack, shoot; if someone/something doesn't attack, still shoot. If you encounter a difficulty, blow it up. Boys are more keen to lean toward Scott Adams quote "There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives".

    From experience, you have much better likelihood of getting girls while being a bad boy, than a nice guy. My sexual life skyrocketed when I stopped being one.

    http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Talk:Comparison_of_init_systems

    The biggest complain I could draw from this is pretty much only the glib dependency, which does not seem to be a runtime dependancy when you get a closer look at the source, as glib.h only seem to be included from a libsystemd test.

    I merely pointed out it could be argue both way. The "old" vs "new" argument is as old as the world (which you're certainly gonna point out to be just another generalization fallacy). Finally, the whole systemd vs. sysv init is mostly an emotional one.

    NetBSD is not a fork from FreeBSD. DragoFlyBSD does, but we can hardly speak of success, more a niche market. EGCS was a temporary fork which became GCC back. X.org was a general decision after XFree licensing change.

    I guess by then that they'll go back to a good old 640x480, or even 320x240, which were doing the job "just fine". Heck, nobody needs X.org, just use a good old X10.

    That's the problem with systemd haters, you're stuck in the 90's era 800x600, when everybody else has move to 1920x1080, or even 4k.

  24. Re:Its just Apple being Apple on Behind Apple's Sapphire Screen Debacle · · Score: 1

    Given the market Apple opens you to, you pretty much don't hold a chance. Being noticed by Apple for a product like the iPhone is a lifetime chance, or risk depending how you see it.

    This is not just Apple, the whole supermarket consumer facing chains are plagged with this type of behavior. Everything is a good excuse to squeeze a bit more from the industries, which are often left with no choice but to stfu and comply to every whim.
