but thats generational. the incoming generation cares a lot about sex but cares surprisingly little about gender. issues of gay rights and gender inequality will dissolve as new generation rolls in.
look at some of the other countries, particularly those with fresh pipelines, like russia, china. in developed parts of such countries women are just as (if not more) active as men in the workplace. no feminist activism either. these things work out naturally, just because men and women are in fact equally capable and when competing fairly for the same jobs the balance comes out roughly even.
this can't happen overnight but it is imminent. equality is in the pipeline.
the reality is, women are just as capable as men. the _only_ issue is, the _current_ talent pool is deeper on the male side. this is rapidly changing, look at the pipeline. 20 years from now equality will happen organically.
why would they do that if they dont know they're being chased? worst case they make few turns, ditch the car and get away by blending into population. tragic, i know, but i'll take that over losing an innocent life.
there should be a better way of catching perps, a way that doesnt involve putting the innocent at grave risk.
perhaps we dont chase them withe swarm of squad cars but deploy a swarm of small UAVs to keep an eye on them until a more local unit can pick them up sans the dangerous chase.
Apple sweat and bleed to design great user experience. They go through many many iterations, they hire and keep the best design talent god knows actively headhunted by the competition.
How hard do you think it is to knock off the outcome of such laborious and expensive process? Clearly looking at Samsung not hard at all.
What would you suggest Apple do? Could you propose an alternative to the course of action that Apple are taking?
oh come on, dont pretend you dont get it, its not just the corners its the idea of clean simple and focused design of the tablet. look at tablets before and after the ipad.
i'm all in favor of competition its just that making knockoffs isnt competition its making knock offs.
let the other guys _actually_ invent new stuff, like microsoft are actually attempting to do, and we as consumers _will_ have a choice.
right now all samsung is offering is a choice between an ipad and a cheaper knock off. thats not a choice i want to have as a consumer.
with all due respect, a simple design is tough to come up with, but easy to steal. apple have every right to defend the product line they've surely agonized to invent and promote. now samsung and others are reaping what someone else sown. let them invent their own stuff, does tablet _have_ to be a rectangle with rounded corners? they didnt used to be before the ipad. nor were the phones.
it is indeed cultural, but its not so much that the russians dont call nerds nerds, they do. its that good teachers are treasured (not always by higher salary, admittedly) and are given MUCH MUCH greater leeway in terms of pushing children to excellence.
there was an incident not long ago when a teacher was accused of sexual harassment, in russia, the parents of his pupils raised to his defense in perfect unison. which is indicative of the fact that a good teacher can be assured of support if he (or she) is accused frivolously.
i regret to say, if you did copy (good) russian schools, half of teachers would be fired and sued for child abuse.
oh, and by the way, russian teacher unions (where there is such a thing which its relatively rare) would _laugh their asses off_ if they knew a teacher can't prep for a class for more than an hour.

seriously speaking, under good lighting conditions phone cams have been on par with SLRs for all practical purposes for quite a while now.
they'll know how to communicate and what things to mention. and if they don't, they will learn quickly.
you going for correlation but the causation here is different.
true to a degree.

Score: +5, Not funny.
i call bullshit
+1!
They'll just run like mad to get away UAV or not

there has to be a better way..
access to an attorney != free attorney. you're means tested before getting paid for the attorney.
Total killed or kidnapped by terrorism worldwide varies around 40-70 thousand per year. Worldwide.
Annual TSA budget is $8bn.
The number of deaths from traffic accidents is around 30 thousand annually in US alone.
I propose that fedexing half of TSA budget's worth of clean bottled water around the world would save many more lives than TSA could ever hope to.
so all they need to do is get rid of the rich and they're the only ones with power. worked out wonderfully for ussr..
Can't speak for others.
He should go to jail for that.
he very well may.

Sometimes you have to behave like a dick when another dick is actively ripping you off. Turn another cheek doesnt work well in business.
at times literally, Jobs sweat, engineers bleed :-)

Both OSes are out, tho not for general use. Comparison is perfectly valid.

...it drives traffic so why not.
this is buggy beta software. guess what, beta software has bugs, some bugs are worse than others. this one went all the way to eleven.
