    Ya ...... I love seeing responses which contain NONE of the points I mentioned. I don't even understand your point because it's based off what you didn't read and couldn't assume. I"m literally amazed you pulled that reply out of no where.

    You have a valid point, how ever it was an example. The point is if a woman did touch a man I highly doubt anything would happen even if the man complained. I'm not going to blame chemicals or nature I'm just commenting on the fact of the matter.

    I'm just going to break down what I wrote because either you misunderstood it or you don't know how to understand a normal post but in either case I'll help you out.

    The first post

    Any woman who wears a shirt which is to tight, to showing, to low. A skirt which is to short, to tight. If she wears make up or is hot, is just as guilty as any man. So well you can believe that lie it's not entirely true.

    I never mention myself or hint that I'm talking about myself or even hint at any relation to me or me not having a girl friend. The entire direction of the post would state that in general any woman who does that is as guilty as any man.

    Second Post

    I never said anything about the Muslim world. Second of all if to vs too causes you hardship reading then that is your own issue.

    If a woman makes her self all "sexy" or "hot" then she is misconducting herself. If I enter a work place and I have to deal with beautiful women who doll themselves up then I'm put in a situation where my body is being played with even though I might never act. Face it, the second a woman enters the work place dressed up any more then she needs to be she is misconducting herself.

    In the same right, if I dress myself up, if I put my self in a state where I know I'm playing with the females around me I'm misconducting myself. I highly doubt this study took into account the fact then women make themselves look good on purpose and in doing so they have misconducted themselves because they want a reaction, which they achieve.

    Again I never mention myself directly, I use the term "I" to mean any man which is clear to anyone who can understand simple English. Clearly what is meant to be implied by the post is that I'm not targeting the Muslim culture and that any woman who dresses up or any man who dresses up is causing misconduct. The post really if read correctly is very general in use of terms and very general in overall concepts.

    Third Post

    The post had nothing to do with not having a girl friend and in fact by your very response you seem to want to objectify women mentally, so by that very post your part of the issue. Everything must be on even playing field, the second you allow one side a handicap you are not longer comparing apples to apples and hence a study or test no longer has meaningful results.

    Very clear that I've pointed out the last two posts didn't involve me and that the study isn't realistic because it's not testing all the angles. I mention myself once but only to clear up the fact that you somehow gained a false understanding that I didn't have a girl friend.

    Amazing attempt at learning to read but you didn't really get the point I guess.

    Your right! If a woman gives a man a pat on the butt and the man complains in 99% of all cases nothing will happen. If that man even looks at a woman with subjective eyes then he can be fired or suspended from work. Women have been able to create a system where men can't even look at them subjectively but they can do almost anything and get away with it.

  10. Hard to do on Ask Slashdot: How To Convince a Team To Write Good Code? · · Score: 1
    I would say make a loose standard, Only include major visual aspects such as brackets or control blocks. Make sure you comment the code very well so it's useful. The main issue I have when I have to look at other peoples code is mainly the fact that 99% of the world can't write a good comment that has any use. I think comments are the most mistreated and misunderstand concept in programming. I'm going to completely disagree with every programming book, prof and professional developer out there! A good comment needs to explain what you were thinking and why you thought it and how it works, anything else is not effective. For instance, this is from my working code

    /* loops forever looking to see if a message queue exists,
    * looping every 10 seconds to see if it exists
    * if it does it continues in the program,
    * otherwise it loops forever */

    This is an example of how to write an effective comment that explains what's going on, how the structure works and why it works the way it does, most code I've seen wont even put that comment there, leaving a new team member to have to look at it for a period of time longer then needed to figure it out. I also think people don't comment enough, a comment should be at any line that isn't simple enough where a non coder can sit down and figure it out with in a few seconds.

    So in my opion, focus on making effective and good comments, not a ton of code structure, formatting, characters in a line, editor to use etc... etc... etc... and NEVER include spelling. Any developer who gets mad at a spelling mistake shouldn't code, a spelling mistake that doesn't break the code doesn't matter. Spelling errors matter in documentation and legal defence not code. Also overall have fun, I find alot of standards have no fun in them, locking a standard into a military strict format just takes the fun out of coding, having to worry about every little thing with no freedom doesn't help to create an effective coding enviroment.

We hear more about ( at least in Canada ), Kate having a baby or the deal at Macdonalds then we do about a solder. I don't support war, solders, militaries or war efforts but looking past that, we care more about everything else then we do about the people who "defend" our freedom.

    Funny story is that a country doesn't need a military. The massive secret no one seems to have figured out is that you just don't piss everyone else off and no one attacks you. A military is the bully's friend, after the bully gets suspended the friend come in to "fix" the reason the bully got suspended. A military is no different, the leader of a country orders an attack and when that fails or when a little slap back happens they feel the need to act like the boss and just go full force. The only point of the military is to pointlessly kill people, a solder is just the name of a human who can murder legally. Hence when a solder gets injured or suffers pain it's really a very funny situation.

    I don't think I'm better then those who willingly serve, I know I'm. I have a purpose in life, I have potential, I have a life I want to live. I don't need to be killed because the leader of my country wants to act like a 5 year old playing with army men. To all the men and women who served from Canada and the US in Iraq, it was a great example of natural selection. Those who have purpose and dignity don't need to try and prove it on the battlefield, we do that without needlessly and pointlessly risking our lives.

What the country wants to do is give you a number and tell you that your life is worth as much as gum on there shoe. They don't care if you die, if you get injured, if you live or even if you make your country look good. They want to use you as a means to an end and they really don't care. Take responsibility for your own life and tell your government to F off, If you really care about your life then don't join the military, go to school, get a job and really show what you can do when your not just a number.

    Windows is typically perceived as cheaper as the cost of maintenance is generally lower; the long term cost of a server is power and maintenance. There are far more engineers supporting Windows than Linux, and consequently the theory of supply & demand would suggest lower cost Windows support.

    Your assumption is wrong, Windows does not come off as cheaper in anyway when compared to the cost of supporting a well designed Linux system. A good Linux admin will outperform a Windows admin every day of the week and at the same time complete most jobs with time left over. If you compare costs you have to pay thousands for a set of Windows Server license packs, with Linux you download it, hire a qualified IT staff and your off and running. If I sat down with an IT staff and they tired to tell me that Linux would be a harder road to travel and cost us more money with Risk / Cost, well I wouldn't have that same staff for much longer. I've done support for many large and small company's and with out exception Linux has always been the cheaper option.
