  1. Re:I'm male but... on Getting Young Women Interested In Open Source · · Score: -1

    So as you seek to remove gender bias...

    Remove gender bias by talking exclusively about women?

    Replace "women" with any other sexual/racial/whatever minority and you get the same effect (blacks, transexuals, poor chinese orphans, war veterans...).
    It's stupid and sexist, but people are afraid to express their opinions against it.

    We know this because they tell us. The problem is they are discouraged from doing so.

    "Freedom? Who needs that? Ooh, look, something shiny and new!"

    Problem is OpenMoko was not that shiny (it's fugly and retroish) and the GUI basically sucked.

    Being opensource is not a marketing feature.

    Similarly, warm water in the east Atlantic would fire hurricanes at Spain and Western Africa

    Sorry, but that would be Portugal (which is where I'm at) and not Spain. Spain comes second. Check your maps.

    It's not like there have been ANY major natural disasters lately. I've been living here for the past 25 years and I've never heard of any natural disaster... Check your facts mister.
