"I mean it's a myth that women are objectified more than men," they are. It's not a myth. They are also unfairly treated with the fall out.
Ex: Janet Jackson. Her boob fell out and she caught shit for years. But remember who ripped open her shirt?
Most people don't. Yet it was his fault it happened.
"... and if you think porn objectifies women, you must acknowledge that porn objectifies men..." of course it does. Making a list of things that objectifies both genders dis't really proving anything.
Look at Car sales, technology, military command, police force, etc... women are treated worse then the men in those fields. It's pretty well documented.
Their display at a professional event was also uncalled for. I like breast, but I don't go around staring and women's tits, not do a refer to them as 'tits'*, nor to I try to compare tits to them.
Walk around comparing and judging breast in your work place and see how that goes. I suspect the term 'lacks professionalism' will be on you walking papers.
" It is killing what true sexism is, real discrimination." It makes women** feel like the industry is hostile to them, how is that not discrimination?
How about the app 'niggerstare'? It's just comparing colors, right?
*except when the contest calls for it, like this conversation.
This isn't about getting upset at some random, App on the App store. BTW, I know plenty of lesbians who would also be offended that such a thing would be presented in the environment it was presented in.
No, it was clearly a professional event. Learn the difference between age and professionalism.
I would have been offended by the lack or professionalism they had. As someone who has been in the industry for over a quarter a century, this shit needs to stop. It's hurting the industry.
"This isn't about offensive material being presented to a child" Correct, its about the completely lack of professionalism, and offending half the population. It's about idiots like these making women uncomfortable, and it's about ending the boys room attitude rampant in the industry.
'sexual jokes are fine if your a woman, but if you have a penis, sexual jokes make you evil'
did the girl tell a sexist joke? no? then it's not the same fucking thing, is it?
I can't speak for the girl and neither can you. I can say when my daughter was 9 she would get offended at stuff like that.
I don't think you grasp what 9 year old's are capable of.
"I'd say that maybe they just need to separate the conference into a PG-13 group and Adults-Only" You would be wrong. They need to have people who can act professional.
Would they have resented that app to a VC board that had women on it?
Hay, jackwad, guess the fuck what? 9 year olds have software companies naw. Welcome to the future.
My daughter want to be a game programmer, so guess what? I try to get her around programmers and game programmers.
You are a self center douche bag who should be shunned until you learn a bit about society and figure out why it's not OK to make half the population not feel wanted.
NO. He is saying Apple said it was the complete final season. SO Apple is responsible for promising something then not delevering it. IF AMC changed something it is not the consuymer fault. Apple should get thing squared away with AMC before making promises.
Apple said " 'all current and future' episodes of Season 5."
So it's on Apple as far as the consumers are concerned.
"My problem is that people blithely accepted this 2007 prediction (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7139797.stm) that the arctic would be ice-free in the summer of 2013 as not just plausible, but probable."
Scientist didn't. some non scientists jump on it, propagated by bad media reports.* As a reminder, Climate changes means more extremes.
To answer you initial question, if you are talking about area? no. If you are talking about mass? it would be interesting, but it doesn't change that over time the temperature and CO2 are rising.
But all this hubbub is based on a guy who made a prediction outside consensus in '07
*Bad science reporting in the media? say it ain't so.
a you pull 1 scientist out of your ass and the 95% of other scientist who didn't say that would happen are now wrong? Are you really that fucking stupid?
DId you even red that damn link? 1 scientist make prediction. 1. no consensus, one guy running 1 group. Oh, and he was using his own models.
This isn't apocalyptic cult, it's science. Many prediction have happened, and consensus is 95%. Unlike actual Apocalyptic cults that have little to no science, no consensus, no actual facts, and no predictions.
The cult is people who don't think man spewing trillions of tons of CO2 has no effect. Even though the science cant show you it does have an impact and it does trap heat.
Pay attention and think. Look at the case at hand. 60% 'comes back' is completely incorrect. "There has been a 60 per cent increase in the amount of ocean covered with ice compared to this time last year, they equivalent of almost a million square miles." yes AREA not in MASS.
"If correct, it would contradict computer forecasts of imminent catastrophic warming. The news comes several years after the BBC predicted that the arctic would be ice-free by 2013."
"They control and monitor your traveling, communication and associations. not really. No one tells me whether or not I can go someplace.
" They'll throw you in jail for consuming certain substances." Also, speeding, parachuting into unauthorized airspace. So what? I can't help but notice marijuana is being reduced. Its at a political change pace(slow) but it is changing. This president has made great strides. Yo do know that a mojority of AMericans want it to be illegal, right?
" Force you to admit guilt (being guilty or not) on threat of overwhelming jail times or punishments." extremely rare.
" Large smear campaigns of anyone that would dare stand against them." Politically? i.e. candidate v. candidate? yes. Otherwise, not so much. WHere is the large campaign against the EFF?
You need to top getting how thing in america work from TV Shows and slashdot.
"All instances of "they" or "them" refer to the abstract cohesion of a large bureaucratic body. which is why I hate the term. The US government is made up of several agencies/bureaus. Each one with a differing about of bureaucracy.
Do you know why mankind invented bureaucracy? so we can do complex things well.
What people don't like to notice is that when something does come out, it's almost allows overall minor, and people get punished.
the US isn't oppressive in any meaningful way. Oppressive governments don't release information about things that went wrong. For example: The DOD encyclopedia of ethical failures.
Slashdot Mirror
Game theory is useless here.
Unless you are talking about rational players of 2.
The game theory train as ran down it's course.
That, the stupidest thing I have ever read on slashdot.
so you \have no idea what you are talking about then?
"Isn't it the very core of economic-conservative theory that the invisible hand of the free market determines who gets what resources? "
No, no it is not. Ayn Rand lunacy is, but nothing actual rooted in reality. Hasn't worked in over 100 years.
Due to there history of trying to protect their users data?
It's in their best interests not to allow outside parties get at the data?
"I mean it's a myth that women are objectified more than men,"
they are. It's not a myth. They are also unfairly treated with the fall out.

Because women are being judged purely on sexual assets.
Really if you need to ask that question, then you are about 50 years out of date.
Their display at a professional event was also uncalled for.

**generalization
He said 'capable' and it is. Sadly most people aren't talk actual critical thinking skills.
Mostly becasue it's like cancer to religion.
Actually it make women uncomfortable and help them, as a group, view the industry as hostile to them.
Maybe you should talk to some women sometime.
NO, becasue ti was a professional presentation.
This isn't about getting upset at some random, App on the App store.

Nice strawman.
If Best Buy said the disk would contain all the episodes, then yes.
They are the ones that said it would include all the final episodes.
