You're a moron, you haven't read such a sexist manifesto or if you have the only thing you can quote is a strawman written by a deranged delusional paranoiac who nobody in any branch of feminism pays heed to, unless there's crazy-feminism.
Can't question "climate change" without being a oil company shill. Can't resist the gay agenda without being a homophobe.
There's your problem - climate change is a known quantity, questioning it is questioning the reality of ice ages. As for the gay agenda, the idea that there's a gay agenda besides the book where I wrote dates with my ex-girlfriend (well, okay, I'm bisexual) is itself loony homophobia.
And the comment thread that ensued was one of the biggest "xkcd makes insightful social commentary, the basement boys fail to get the point, hilarity ensues" bit of the xkcd forum in a long while.
This is about code, and there are no scientifically demonstrated differences that have to do with mental capabilities - what we see is people who statistically deviate over time, and lots of cultural influences that may explain why a number of other countries with no obvious relationship (unless you're telling me the swedes and thais are together a separate species) don't show these differences. Also, these physical differences are close to minimal when you look at studies done about some hunter gatherer groups in the natural habitat of humanity (large plains), besides reproductive dimorphism, and there again, you see girls being discouraged from sports and other stuff... And it's not universal and it shows.
I will preempt any further bullshit, half of my degree was physical anthropology related.
The only people who get exposed to the SCUM manifesto are whiny men who go out of their way to seek it, she was a strawman and nothing more, the only feminists who listened to Solanas were in mental institutions and prisons and never had the slightest influence, while you defend the view of a man who defended something like the Montreal Polytechnic shooting. You are scum of the lowest order, trying to defend your views as "reaction".
It could still be sexist if, on any issue that hasn't got to do with women's issues, the male politicians were consulted first or exclusively - a woman campaigning on matters of economics and diplomacy usually will have a hell of a time getting the slightest bit of attention paid to anything BUT her "women's issues" stuff in the media. And that attitude of going to the men first happens in a lot of female dominated academic fields already.
Then that would make you an idiot - we find also this kind of thing in Sweden and Thailand (one of the tigers), I would also note that Germany is not a developping country but one of the main powers of the world, and what do we find behind this - oh, right, cultures where rampant machismo doesn't assume that poor weak women can't deal with advanced math, or at least not on the scale of most of the world.
on OpenGL, I'm one of these horrible optimists about Khronos Group's enhancements. Point taken though. As for SDL, well point also taken it's not exactly the cleanest of codebases, like I said, my only appreciation point to go for DirectX is basically hearsay from people who deal with it (mostly the wine dev list).
No, I agree, but for now, I go with what I have. 3rd Party porting isn't exactly helping the case since they seem to be either paying through the nose for their licensing or out to screw people.
The OpenGL-OpenAL-SDL combo is more stable than DirectX already but it doesn't satisfy many game devs, not having touched directx ever I'm not sure what it does more that justifies this stance.
Many fairly big name places have working linux builds, so asset production is partially there, but never put them on the market, so that's the point of fail for some big name devs. There's the problem that they sometimes seem to see Linux as an all-or-nothing platform (free or die) which seems especially strong a preconception in the gaming world, while corporate payware does get made for linux pretty regularly. IDK.
I have gotten every iteration of Dawn of War running on Wine on both Linux and MacOS. I still don't remember what I did since I haven't had them on for a while (space issues during a backup).
I have no idea how bad french cops are, never having spent more than three months in a row there, but if they're anything like in the US or Canada, you have cops who shoot at will, have unofficial immunity because their trials usually are juried by other cops, and whose idea of modern counterriot tactic is playing a game of "czarist russia" and charging protesters on horseback.
I'm not sure this counts as a failure, but when Rogers bought Fido, they had Fido cancel their sidekick licensing (replacing it with the blackberry pearl basically), and basically turned off the service without warning.
And Murdoch would basically be the ruling class trying to stop the translations to be read - fun tidbit, the protestant kings and princes missed the point on the same scale with the vernacular translations of the bible they commissioned, probably more than even the jesuits, as they quickly wrote laws determining who had the right to read it and how much - in England and its dependencies, under the Tudors, you had to be noble (knight or peer) or clergy to be allowed to read it for yourself in private.
Ah, that might have been Sprint's testing with LTE then which I conflated. No, I just missed the buyout which happened during a time when I was on the road.
Except exclusivity deals mostly only happen in the US, they were dropped in most of Europe and the iPhone has had lots of sales increases in every country where it did it. Tens of millions of subscribers is really a drop when a lot of the CDMA networks are already working on dropping CDMA and switching to HSPA or whatever will be the GSM side next gen. Bell-Telus in Canada is already rolling it out so it can get a bit of Rogers' cake, iirc Virgin America is working on it and so are either Sprint or Verizon (one is, I forgot which, the other, well, I don't know if it is or not) - for Mexico, Japan and Korea, no idea. It may have made some sense 3 year ago, but now it's looking like CDMA is, well, a bit of a dead-end.

I truly believe that racism and sexism are essentially dead with my generation
Because you would, of course, be the one who experiences the racism and the sexism and who'd know, right?
People kill each other for mental abuse, not for physical abuse, you're an ignorant fool. Also, nice job belittling others.
You're a moron, you haven't read such a sexist manifesto or if you have the only thing you can quote is a strawman written by a deranged delusional paranoiac who nobody in any branch of feminism pays heed to, unless there's crazy-feminism.
No, that's only true with --creepy stalkers with no self-esteem-- nice guys

Darwin called, he wants morons to stop misinterpreting his theories.

I have been both, the mental abuse sticks, I'll talk for myself, asshole.
There wouldn't be any FOSS project left if that was done.

Mod parent up, fuckers, or miss the point entirely of what oppression is about.

Bullshit, every damn OSS project is steeped in politics over its head.

Cube 1 might, it's not exactly demading.

seem to not like us guys in uniform
LOL, fun fact, there's liberals in uniform, too.

Point taken on the dev costs though.
