How about: "if your a woman, you should not plan to have a career as an engineer. If you got your degree, and can't get a job, that's just bad career planning. Should have been a nurse."
Why is it okay to discriminate by age, but not gender?
That story may have been true in 1980, I doubt it's true today.
My parents are 78, and they use computers all the time, they have been using computers since 1980. My mother-in-law is 88, she uses her computer every day, although I admit she does have some difficulty.
Although young people practically all *use* computers; many cannot go beyond facebook and selfies - many young people could not tell you what a name server does, or know how to use the ping command.
What if you had trouble with an African American worker? Would you adopt a policy against hiring African Americans? That would come from the same discriminatory mindset.
That is the difference, and it's a huge difference.
Murdering people because they express honest opinions is, almost entirely, a Muslim thing.
BTW: you do not need to "Defecate on the Qur'an" or anything like that to send Muslims into murderous outrage. Any civil, honest, criticism is all it takes.
Red Hat is operating right out of Microsoft's playbook.
Remember when Microsoft was buddy-buddy with Apple, and IBM?
Once Linux is completely dependent on Red Hat controlled technologies, Red Hat will always be two steps ahead of the competition, it will be seriously difficult for Linux users to use anything except Red Hat.
What happens when Red Hat decides there is no reason for more than one package management solution? Red Hat will say that users demanded one standardized package management, and systemd will only work if Red Hat's solution is installed. Wait for it.
It might take them a while, but forced submission does work. Forced submission has worked throughout history, and it's working today.
Three stages of Jihad.
1) when in tiny minority, say you just want peace. 2) when in a more sizable minority, demand special privileges for Islam. 3) when in a majority (or close), take the gloves off
It is a brilliant strategy that has worked liked all hell for 1400 years, and is still working.
Management: "train your replacement, or you do not get any severance." IT worker: "guess I have no choice"

Management: "train your replacement, or you do not get any severance." Entire IT staff: "you try to pull that bullshit, and we all walk out" Management: "okay IT workers, you win"
Amazing the way Apple convinces people that they invented things. For who did not know, Apple did not invent: the smart watch, the smart phone, tablet computing, the GUI, the personal computer, online music stores, mp3 players; or much of anything.
There are already watch devices that can take your pulse. They have been around for some time.
As I understand it, sysd startup time is faster when you a lot of applications to start at boot time. Because sysd starts the apps in parallel, it goes faster.
But, if you are running a standard desktop. sysd is probably slower.
Leave the laws as they are so we can use them. The government cannot make something illegal for one church, and illegal for another.
1) Start a church, or other non-profit. 2) Make yourself the administrator 3) Pay yourself a very small salary, that will be taxable. 4) The house you live in, the cars/boats/airplanes you use, etc. will all belong to the non-profit, so no taxes on the money needed to buy those. 5) Give yourself an unlimited expense account for food, travel, lodging, health care, clothes, entertainment, etc. As long as it is considered church business, it's not taxable. 6) Aside from taking donations, you can run a business that gives all revenue to the non-profit. Then take the money back out in the form of whatever you want: for example buy a car for the non-profit that is yours to use. The non-profit will, of course, also pay for insurance, fuel, maintenance, and a driver.
What is the difference between religion, and other non-profits, as far as taxes go?
If you are an administrator, for a church, or non-profit, are you taxed on expenses? For example, if the organization gave you a hotel room for a night, and travel expenses, would those be taxed?
There are many factors that determine pay, not just education level.
My understanding is: women do not equal pay for equal work - they already have that, that has been the law for 50 years, or more. Women want equal pay for so-called "compatible" work.
BTW: I have degrees in math, comp sci, and business. I have worked right next to a woman with nothing more than high school, and she got twice my salary. Where is my "equal pay for compatible work?"

Still use most recent systems, and languages, etc.

Why is it okay to discriminate by age, but not gender?
If it is no big deal to discriminate because of age, then why worry about discrimination based on ethnicity, or gender, or religion?
It really is the same thing isn't it?
Sounds like bullshit to me.

Image if you tried to do the same with women, or African Americans.
Like computers, medicine, and law, change constantly. Image if accountants, lawyers, and doctors, were considered washed up at 40.
I have worked in IT since 1979.
Where do people get this idea that IT workers work with old technologies? The idea is not true, and makes no sense.
Do older car mechanics only know how to work on older cars? How about older doctors, lawyers, scientists?
Do you think an installation has new technologies for younger workers, and older technologies for older workers?
I work with latest released technologies all the time.
If somebody drawing the prophet is offensive to you that you have to murder people, then there is something wrong with you, and your religion.
Your religious rules apply to those in your religion, and nobody else. You do not have the right to force people to submit to your religion.
I feel no need to murder people mock atheism. No "honeypot" would send me into murderous outrage.
That is the difference, and it's a huge difference.
Murdering people because they express honest opinions is, almost entirely, a Muslim thing.
BTW: you do not need to "Defecate on the Qur'an" or anything like that to send Muslims into murderous outrage. Any civil, honest, criticism is all it takes.
If a drawing of the prophet is so offensive, then close yourself off from western ideas.
The west does not share you views, and you have no right to force those views on the west.

Ubuntu used to be awesome, now it sucks. If you have to advertised how well Ubuntu is doing, it's probably not doing all that well.
Microsoft hires far more H1Bs. As does IBM, Apple, etc.
The entire situation needs to be fixed. Singling out one company is pointless.
Start by donating to NumbersUSA. I do.

I think the rivalry between vi and emacs pre-date Linux.
Besides, what's so "ugly" about it? Not as if people are rioting in the streets. Just juvenile posts back and forth.

My understand was: Devuan was supposed to come out at the same time as Debian 8.
I would be interested to know if anybody has tried Devuan, and what was the experience like?

That is what some vegans are saying. Supposedly it takes 60 gallons of water to raise a pound a beef.
I don't know if it's true of not.
Hillary is strongly in favor of increasing H1Bs to take the jobs of US tech workers.
Now it's news for nerds. Happy?
Always has been, she has made that very clear, many time.
So now it's tech. Everybody happy?
Unlike Benghazi, nobody was killed because of the Watergate scandal.
Hillary's email scandal is much worse than Nixon's Watergate cover-up.
Whereas Nixon was forced to resign in disgrace, Democrats are swooning over a candidate who make Nixon look like a boy scout.
