  1. Re:Again? on A Plan On How To Stop Sexism In Science · · Score: 1

    If an unbalanced gender ratio is all you need to prove sexism, then doesn't it follow that the Nursing and Elementary Education fields are even MORE sexist than STEM (and even more in need of attention)?

    Yes.

    GMO foods shift power from the people and the farmer to the chemical company.

    Just like the use of tractors and other farm machinery shifted power from the people and the farmer to the John Deere company, right?

    It's a statement of fact, and everyone - including you and me - is terrible at programming.

    Well, since this isn't actually a statement of fact, the rest of your argument doesn't follow.

  6. Re:Feminist bullshit on Psychologist: Porn and Video Game Addiction Are Leading To 'Masculinity Crisis' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The golden rule: If you are attracted to an attractive woman's body, you are a pervert and a pig.

    Uh, no. If you are attracted to an attractive woman's body, and then you make an ass of yourself over it, whistling at her, making crude remarks to your friends, or making unwanted physical advances, then you are a pervert and a pig.

    It's really not complicated.

  7. Re:I am a Republican voting Conservative. on House Panel Holds Hearing On "Politically Driven Science" - Without Scientists · · Score: 2

    It's fairly easy to prove that we are poisoning everything.

    Except this doesn't matter. There are people who think that since Jesus is coming back any day now anyway, working to save the environment is pointless.

    Pepsi should also advertise "Contains No Radioactive Nuclear Waste".

    Nah, they'll never beat Nuka-Cola with that attitude.

    No, thanks. We in the east will keep our water. People in the west can stop trying to build cities and farms in the desert.

  13. Re:And yet, no one understands Git. on 10 Years of Git: An Interview With Linus Torvalds · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You have to understand the data-structure, how files, directories and commits are all content-addressable objects. The linkage of the commits by means of their id's must be understood.

    See, here's the thing. Why should I have to understand internal data structures in order to use a piece of software? Imagine if you made a word processor and people found it difficult to understand, and you said, "It's easy once you understand that the words in the text are stored in a hash map along with a structure with various flags that encode things like whether it's italic or not." People would look at you funny and go back to using Word.

    Yes it is. Ten years is about how long it takes to figure out.

  15. Re:Star Wars != Acting on Why More 'Star Wars' Actors Don't Become Stars · · Score: 1

    Anybody can act Anakin Skywalker (and look who did) because it's Anakin's story that is compelling.

    Except this is patently wrong because look how it turned out.

    So it's no surprise that poor talent could be used (Portman, Christensen)

    Bzzt again. Portman, at least, is a decent actress.

  16. Re:This is the wrong battle on Apple's Tim Cook Calls Out "Religious Freedom" Laws As Discriminatory · · Score: 1

    This is not about saying "we don't serve your kind here".

    Yes, it is.

    This is about establishing guidelines for government to avoid reflexively punishing religious individuals over their scruples of conscience.

    No, it isn't. There was an amendment offered by the Democrats that specifically added non-discrimination language to the bill. It was shot down.

    The Christian would be a jerk in that case. So why are so many gays being jerks about the exact same kind of thing?

    Congratulations, you're an idiot. There's a difference between refusing to serve someone because they're asking for a product you don't sell and refusing to serve them because they're Christian, or Muslim, or black, or gay.

    Yeah I can totally see how one school's dumb decision is equal to a law enacted by the government of a state that affects millions of people.

  18. Re:WWJD? on Apple's Tim Cook Calls Out "Religious Freedom" Laws As Discriminatory · · Score: 3, Insightful

    On the other side, it seems like you have the government forcing people not just to tolerate - but to actively celebrate something that is deeply abhorrent to them.

    No, you don't, which is why that side of the argument loses. Nobody is saying you have to celebrate same-sex marriage, just that the sexual preferences of the people involved in a business transactions shouldn't matter. How in the hell are you supposed to determine that anyway? If you own a cake shop do you make all your customers sign an affidavit that they're straight? Force them to reveal the gender of their spouse?

    It communicates clearly what it is trying to do.

    It doesn't, actually. Looking at that as someone who doesn't know what a CRC32 is I have no idea why it's doing what it's doing. Some actual useful comments might be nice.

    With process shrinks and MLC, flash endurance is falling sharply, and the bits literally leak out over time.

    Uh, that's kinda the point of 3D. Instead of shrinking the cells, just stack them up. It's what Samsung did with their 850 Pros, which have a 10-year warranty. Besides, the TechReport torture test shows that reliability really isn't a problem for consumer-level devices.
