Richard Feynman once found out that the only way to make money in a casino is by betting against one of the stupid customers, not by playing against the casino.
Just find some poor sob that is shaking a dice while muttering "Six, six, come on, this is gonna a be a six. Go over to him and say "I bet it won't be a six".
One day I'll try that, if the casinos still allow it.
What are "we" supposed to do when "we" see RMS being an idiot and eating the stuff between his toes? Fire him?
Why am I responsible for some Ruby presentation that I personally find embarrassing (as a male, who would have thought!), just because I use linux and have some projects on google code?
Free software is anarchy, for better or worse. There is no "movement" or "society", if you don't like something, you can fork it. There might be neo-nazis writing the best microkernels and we couldn't do anything about it. It is impossible to exclude people. But that is true for women as well as for misogynist basement nerds.
Well just have a look at point 3.19 and then let's talk about stereotyping again
3.19. Don't micro-specialize
Maybe you and your friends are perfectly happy to show up to your local LUG and talk about the same topics (the latest video card, first-person shooters, robots) every week, but for whatever reason, few women have the endless interest in minutiae that men often display. Try not to have all your speakers talk about micro-specialties, or always discuss the same areas of robotics.
So, dumb down for the women or what? I don't get it.
But yeah, capitalism has spawned the ability for a very small minority to amass a very enormous amount of wealth. These people are not contributing more to the world, are not necessarily smarter,
That is not for you to decide
and it is immoral to think that somehow they are worth 10,000 times more than the average human being.
It is stupid to equate wealth with the value of a human being.
I know slashdot likes to fling poo every new internet phenomenon, but I am really excited by this and wish Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky good luck. StackOverflow is amazing and their mission to destroy those shitty phpBB-forums with their clean and organized interfaces is very noble to say the least.

And nowadays, emphasis should really be on enjoying music live, anyway.
tell me when Zappa tours again
Or they can just look for some sticker like "energy star".
Mind you, it was a book, not a scientific study.
If "the corp" puts shitty information in the manual, people won't like "the corp" anymore.
I agree with you however that forcing companies to disclose the products specs is totally sufficient.
He reads the manual.
My 30-second google research also says that the contrast will be better

Or if electric charges are quantized.

Then how come she looks so blockish all the time?
Jeez. The only thing missing there is Lenna.

Just tell me which UNIX command you would use to get instructions on a program and deny that this isn't intentional.
echo "alias woman=man" >> ~/.bashrc
I'll tell Bill Hicks
Yep, that's a fail. I don't see why this game couldn't have been written in SDL or any other cross-platform library.

Thanks. Why do I have to scroll down 50 posts of stupid drivel to find somebody who states the obvious?
7) You are not the average TV consumer
Exactly. There should be definitely more math and engineering in lawmaking. I'm not being sarcastic.
Any examples?
When there are a dozen open source CMS packages, and countless other sites charging nothing or very little for monthly fees for similar functionality

So the dudes who put up dozens of heavy-metal-scored riot porn videos are undercover cops too? And these people are undercover cops too?
Because it is unheard of that some people smash things just for fun.
