  1. Re:Why is this even an issue? on Women's Enrollment In Computer Science Correlates Negatively With Net Access · · Score: 1

    Why the fuck am I even talking to you. Bah. *shudders*

    You aren't talking to anyone, thoughtout this article. You have, however, been ranting, throwing polemics, and generally making an ass of yourself. If you would make even a half-hearted attempt to make a cogent statement, perhaps you would get similar in return.

    Can someone explain to me why it matters if more or less women are studying computer science?

    Because we're tired of it being a sausage fest?

    And?

    Use a print of goatse.cx and you'll always be safe in the knowledge that even if you forget to carry the print with you, you can still, at a push, access your phone! :D

    If your face looks like that, you've got more problems than mere phone security.

  5. After a quick WHOIS search, and a bit of googling, I found that this is registered to an individual who worked in 2009 as a San Francisco Art Institute teaching assistant.

    It's a joke site.

    Now you tell me, I already enrolled Schrödinger's cat... not because I care about this overused meme, but because I've got money on the outcome.

    Given that the odds are 50-50, the only one who will win is whoever gets the house's cut.

    And if it weren't for the fact that the GoP wants this power for their next candidate elected to the Presidency, there might even be an impeachment.

    Well, crack-whores can be men, too, and will perform the same tasks for their fixes, so while you're right about crude, I don't think we can be sure if the GP poster is misogynistic or simply flipped a coin.

    Crack-whores: Yet another reason to use indeterminate gender "they"! They just keep piling up!

    Sometimes they offer helpful cleaning services.

  10. Re:Snippet patent prior art on Patent Troll Sues Google, AOL Over Search 'Snippets' and Ad Serving Tech · · Score: 3, Informative

    Showing the use of a search term in context (i.e. showing a "snippet") is a feature of a concordance - a kind of document that has been produced manually for hundreds of years.
    So there seems to be lots of prior art.

    Ahh, but this patent seems to use the 'on a computer' trump card, thus invalidating whatever medieval concordance you may reference.

    The 1313 moniker refers to a specific level of Coruscant which is a haven for criminals, bounty hunters, and crime lords.

    Well there's that but there was also 1313 Mockingbird lane, lest we forget! (Munster's street address)

    RI, and arguably CT are the only 2 of 13 that were set up that way. Most that specified "religious freedom" named the one and only one religion to be granted freedom.

    You are missing at least one. 'Trinitarian' covers a great deal of ground. I'm not going to do your homework for you and point out the history of Jewish religious freedom/tolerance in MD either.

    Given the thinking of the time and the attitudes of Europe from which most settlers came, even having more than a single proscribed, protected religion was a big deal.

    I'm also not going to waste a great deal of time arguing against your historical revisionism that seems to delight in viewing actions of ~350 years ago through a modern lens. Wasted too much time doing that in college.
