  1. Re:Females also tend to drive safer. on Female Uber Drivers Get Paid Less Than Men, Says Study (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    It is an artifact of biological influence (testosterone). That is why insurance rates rise and fall with average male testosterone levels.

  2. Re: Busy U.K. Holiday Weekend... on IT Crash Causes British Airways To Cancel All Flights (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That joke went right over your head.

  3. HSBC on YouTube Loses Major Advertisers Over Offensive Videos (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wow, look at HSBC withe their moral superiority. The same bank that launders money for drug lords and the Russian mafia.

  4. Coaching Services, not job on Study: Women Less Likely To Be Shown Ads For High-paid Jobs On Google · · Score: 1

    The article states that the advertisement is for "coaching services", not a job. So someone out there is selling the promise of a high paying job, and they think men are more likely to fall for it. Saying that this will contribute to the gender wage gap is a long stretch. It is more likely to lead to men wasting a lot more money than women.

  5. Automation is killing jobs faster than ever on FBI Concerned About Criminals Using Driverless Cars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Automation is killing jobs faster than we've ever imagined. Even suicide bombers are being rendered useless.

  6. Re:It'll work if you want to suceed on The "Triple Package" Explains Why Some Cultural Groups Are More Successful · · Score: 1

    If you read the article you'll see their explanation for why American blacks are the exception to the snippet you quoted.

  7. Re:DID THIS SPYING PREVENT BOSTON? on Majority of Americans Say NSA Phone Tracking Is OK To Fight Terrorism · · Score: 1

    Then why are all the terrorists that get thwarted that we do hear about ones that the FBI encouraged?

    Then why are all the terrorists that get thwarted that we do hear about ones that the FBI helped train

  9. Re:Neither will... on 9th Grade Science Experiment: Garden Cress Won't Germinate Near Routers · · Score: 1

    Zing!

  10. Wait, what day is it?

  11. It is like the TSA coming into our personal lives on Drawings of Weapons Led To New Jersey Student's Arrest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is the kind of environment that the gun-control nuts want to create for the rest of us. Imagine having to justify every substance in your home under presumption of guilt.

  12. Re:Those aren't the only choices on IT Industry Presidential Poll: 'Not Sure' Beats Both Obama and Romney · · Score: 1

    Jurisprudence hasn't done us a lot of good. Neither has political theory. What history in particular are you accusing him to be ignorant of?

  13. Re:Those aren't the only choices on IT Industry Presidential Poll: 'Not Sure' Beats Both Obama and Romney · · Score: 1

    I don't see how he is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that he has a close relationship with that person or organization. His supporters will not vote for the Republican candidate.f

  14. Those aren't the only choices on IT Industry Presidential Poll: 'Not Sure' Beats Both Obama and Romney · · Score: 1, Troll

    Most of the people choosing "Not Sure" probably wanted to pick Ron Paul or Gary Johnson but weren't given the choice. They need to recognize that those aren't the only choices!

  15. This is what the government does... on The Shortage of Women In IT · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Only the government will set artificial quotas restricting its ability to do business and then complain that reality doesn't match the world they are trying to force on the rest of us. Why do people think men shouldn't be able to find jobs that pay enough to support their families? IT is one of the last places we can do that!

  16. It takes a nut on Sci-fi Writer Elizabeth Moon Believes Everyone Should Be Chipped · · Score: 1

    It takes a nut to write sci-fi. Not that I don't appreciate what sci-fi writers contribute. Let's just keep them out any position of influence,

  17. Re:News: Most Americans. . . on Most Americans Support an Internet Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Do you think I'm gullible?

  18. It's Retro! on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    The right person can make it work. Obviously, if a person acts old and like they aren't up-to-date it will just concrete a negative image. The right person can make it look like they are intentionally being retro, and therefore hip.
