  1. Re:If it's a professional conference... on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 1

    You mean like when she tweeted [url=https://twitter.com/adriarichards/status/312265091791847425]this[/url] during the conference? That's far closer to being sexist than saying "big dongles".

  2. Re:Wait a sec on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 1

    A woman complains about two adult males making sexist jokes near her and SHE gets fired?

    How is "big dongles" sexist? In what way does it discriminate or is prejudicial against someone based on their sex? Sexual != sexist. Also, she was fired because her actions were alienating the very community of people she was supposed to be an evangelist for.

    Shouldn't it be the other way around?

    She did get the person fired by making a huge stink over it by publicly shaming them.

  3. Re:Is this a blow against sexism? on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, the comment wasn't even sexist. It was sexual and it was inappropriate but that does not make it sexist. Doing shit like this only has the effect of alienating people who otherwise agree with the fact that there are large scale issues of genuine sexist and creepy stalker behavior that is directed towards women at conventions and in the greater tech community at large.

    Riiiiight. Again, these tapes were marked to not be declassified until a time past either bring alive. Yeah, he was going to score big politicial points after they were both dead. If he really wanted to just score points against Nixon he would have simply released it to the public not hide it in classified tapes.

    Key thing to remember: all we have here is an article claiming proof. That IS NOT in itself proof of anything. It's "a friend of a friend", it's hearsay. And all historical measures of the war previous to this, there is zero indication that any of this happened, no indication that they were ever close to a settlement in that time. and this is the sort of thing that would NOT stay secret, that someone would have come forward with years ago.

    No, we have an article whose source of information is straight from the then President's mouth. You try to claim it's not true, but what exactly would Johnson gain by making this up and saying this on tapes that purposefully would not be declassified until long after him and Nixon would be dead? Also, secrets like this get kept secret all the time as we find out as more and more government documents get declassified. In short: you're the fucking moron.

    The only reason things aren't worse is Google actually has been gaining leverage over the carriers. What leverage is Mozilla going to have? Yep, none.

  22. Re:How's it work on Android? on Netflix Using HTML5 Video For ARM Chromebook · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Yes it is. They even said so when they first started rolling it out.

    Although we don’t have a common platform security mechanism and DRM, we are able to work with individual handset manufacturers to add content protection to their devices. Unfortunately, this is a much slower approach and leads to a fragmented experience on Android, in which some handsets will have access to Netflix and others won’t.

    It's also why consoles and set top boxes have it.

  23. Re:How's it work on Android? on Netflix Using HTML5 Video For ARM Chromebook · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Nope, it's due to hardware-level support of DRM. They even said so when they first started releasing it for select devices.

  24. Re:How's it work on Android? on Netflix Using HTML5 Video For ARM Chromebook · · Score: 0

    Yes, that's because mobile devices and set tops, and consoles support DRM at the hardware level. So there is no need for the software DRM of Silverlight.

    Riiiiiiight. So then why would Microsoft have allowed Netflix on Android and iOS if that were the case? Those two are crushing it in the mobile space. What a dumb conspiracy. The issue is with the DRM, not with some stupid "M$" conspiracy.
