Which subject? I studied Philosophy, Poli Sci, and CS and graduated just a few years ago. Pretty much every class was fully engaged throughout my entire college experience in those subjects. Especially for Philosophy, engaging with what the professor is saying kind of the entire point. CS is not quite as engaging (a bit more lecture, a bit less discussion), but I would not think that someone who lacked this skill would even be capable of doing software development (and obviously most are upon graduation to some degree or another).
How is he destroying man's role in society?? Is man's role in society to be the star of Donkey Kong? I think we will get by just OK without. How is making his daughter happy gender normative?? Making a child happy is not a gender specific activity.
I am betting c) unemployed and paying $0 in income taxes... taking full use of the safety net.
One thing conservatives cannot legitimately do is complain about how they are at the very bottom because of President Leftist, then argue that President Leftist is taking all their money, since they just said they did not have any.
Good to know you're doing just peachy then. See from all your ramblings, I got confused and thought you were complaining about how much your life sucks, despite your greatest efforts...
Thank you. People need to quit bitching about Obama and go do something! Show us some of that good ole conservative self reliance. IME successful people are going to be successful regardless of whether it happens to be government or big business trying to claw at their money.
You are lucky to have your work available on the cloud. As a developer, that just is not a realistic option. Even the best cloud IDEs (code editors) are garbage IME. I would love to work in the browser, but for now many of us need low level command line access.
1. Men are required by law to hire pretty female candidates over qualified male ones? Not in my state anyway. Go into any software company and you will see 90% male engineers. Are they breaking the law?
2. Resist the urge to be a dumbass. Unless it is my wife, every woman in my life gets treated exactly the same as the men, especially at work. Men tend to put things on pedastals that they are trying to have sex with. Women at work should be out of bounds for any professional.
3. Speak for yourself. Equal rewards come with equal responsibility. This is pretty common sense, and I am willing to bit that just about every 20/30 something would agree.
IME men who put "their woman" on a pedestal tend to be the same ones who smack her around once the party guests leave. It makes no sense to me, but it always seems to be the same pattern.
Back when I was three, I programmed Donkey Kong from scratch in Assembly. "Big Arcade" stole the source off a BBS where I posted it, and made millions off my idea! Now get off my lawn and go learn some BrainF&&ck, toddlers!
Switching it further would be to leave all the sprites the same, but tell the daughter that Pauline decided to become a mustached plumber and Mario decided to finally discover his true body and become a pinkified princess. DK is actually Peach before she stopped taking testosterone.
Despite what Rush Limbaugh might have you believe about what "Feminazis" look like, this dad IS a feminist pretty much by definition. Yes, some feminist are the shrill morons that you might picture, but most are just people (men and women) who stand by the belief that people should not be limited by their gender.
Kerrigan is a great example. Yes, she is a bit light on the clothes, but that is pretty much an afterthought to the other facets of her character. A badass warrior, betrayed then sweet revenge, and she has had two games pretty much devoted to her. There are few better/more complex characters out there.
This has never been a problem for me. In most places you tell HR you want to hire someone for X position. They ask you what the requirements and nice-to-haves are. They clean it up and put it in a posting. When people respond, they forward it on to you so you can ask them to schedule an interview or not. The HR filter is largely a myth, or at least not really HR's fault. You think the HR person really listed: "C#, Java, Python, FoxPro, Netbeans" under the requirements? Hell no! They don't know what a single one of those things are. It's the manager that defines that sort of stuff. Dumb requirements == dumb tech managers. Also, most companies who list 10 obscure things under the requirements will usually interview someone with a reasonably comparable tech stack. I have been on both ends, and this has been my experience anyway.
Not a single one of my clients would be able to hire someone from India, since it would be perceived as a huge security risk. Not to mention, practically everyone who hires programmers has been burned at one point or another from an exceptionally bad outsourced project. In the west we know how to write some DailyWTF style shit, but if you are not specifically dictating every spec requirement to an Indian firm, it will probably be a terrible experience. Code monkeys will lose there jobs. Real programmers who know how to design quality systems and deal with clients professionally and effectively are not going anywhere.
This. I am convinced that swarms of "programmers" who gripe every time this subject comes up have not been in the programming job market in 10 years plus. Saying you cannot get through the HR filter is total BS. Any competent programmer knows how to put the right stuff on their resume to get hired. It takes like 20 minutes to add a few keywords to your resume and it takes about 20 minutes of wikipedia per BS keyword to get through an interview. Most interviews are dumbed down to the extreme anyways, since its so difficult to find programmers that you really cannot afford to scare any away. The outsourcing stuff is BS too since most programming involves proprietary data and there is no way in hell that most companies are going to put that in the hands of someone in India or China.
How about some variety? As a consumer, I most certainly want to be pandered to, as we all do. I do not need uberviolence everywhere on Nintendo, but more Zelda or SSB type games and less bobblehead avatars would go a long way. Most games on the Wii are pretty fun, but they are mostly devoid of any passion and soul, like the developers were just cranking out another widget. Ocarina of Time was a religious experience. Wii Bowling?... reminds me of a bar arcade game.

And the kid purchases the game by entering their credit card info... Oh wait, kids don't fucking have credit cards! Get the parent to put in their info for the kid. Problem solved. Or the kid just lies about their age like they probably do for anything else online. There are facebook pages for babies. I think Nintendo would get by ok.

Twitter is basically a pipeline of Youtube comments without any videos. 50% spam, 50% moronic.
Our local orchestra started doing an annual Radiohead cover show for charity a few years back. It sells out the second tickets go on sale.

How are the women responsible ("allowing themselves to be cheapened") when it is men making bone-headed (pun intended) decisions?
