Would spend crazy money on a card like this, and 2 years later it would be sitting in my junk pile. Got tired of chasing the beast. Went console and saved my bank account.
So you're saying boys are being discriminated against when it comes to computer science?
I'll go much further than that. I'm saying NO ONE is being discriminated against when it comes to computer science, not by race or gender anyway. This has been the case for decades now. I can't remember a single story of a racial minority or woman being denied admission to any mainstream CS program on the basis of their race or gender since the 60's. Though with all this pressure to *favor* them, I expect this will change soon (unfortunately).
The issue now isn't about stopping discrimination. It's about some SJW's wanting to force society to look exactly the way that SJW's think it SHOULD look like. According to them, there SHOULD be an even racial/gender split in CS. If females and minorities refuse to play along with this and choose CS as a major, then the CS programs themselves should be forced to encourage them to enter CS at the expense of evil white males--even if it means excluding deserving white males and actively discriminating against them. Society should be FORCED to act and look the way that liberals want it to.
This isn't about fighting discrimination, and hasn't been for a very long time. It's about imposing social engineering by force.
Nope. We're sick of all those dirt-poor little boys in Appalachia lording their white male privilege over down-trodden little rich girls living in Grosse Pointe!
Steam leaning on Linux to provide high-performance gaming experiences is going to transform the reputation of the OS for the mainstream.
Yes, and Taylor Swift is going to get tired of dating all those rich famous guys and realize that a dumpy, poor, smart guy like me is what she REALLY wants.
I mean, while we're dreaming, may as well aim high.
Make a toy that stands on its own merits, then market it to everybody. It's not a "science kit for girls", it's just a science kit, and it's advertised across all applicable demographics, regardless of gender.
Yeah, that's what we were doing BEFORE the SJW's came in and demanded that more girls be made (somehow) to play with science toys and major in STEM fields. Reality stubbornly refused to conform to what they want it to be, so they decided to blame everyone else but the girls/women themselves for it.
Girls don't want to play with science kits? Well, then you must MARKET THE SCIENCE KITS TO THEM! Only you must do this (somehow) without making the science kits stereotypical "girly." Don't know how to do this, you say? WELL FIGURE IT OUT!! Reality WILL conform to what we want it to be, or else!!
Sweden isn't a third world country, and neither is Britain. Neither has "kangaroo courts." The penalty for rape in Sweden isn't life imprisonment. Swedish prisons are the opposite of "hell holes."

And double plus good it will be!
Everyone deserves equal opportunity, right?

If that's the case they're pretty dumb for moving to a place full of radio telescopes.
Instead, they should do what crazies have done for generations--move to Alaska.
Then it's not a plan. It's just a bullshit pipe dream that he's selling you for your vote.
Well, I guess we evil humans had better just all commit suicide then, to return Mother Gaia to her glory.
Tell you what, since you've pointed out this obvious conclusion, we'll give you the honor of going first.
How about we just outlaw bribes in the first place?

It's only overshadowed in sadness by the large number of "empowered" young women who think that doing porn will make the a "star."
Maybe we should create a special girls-only class to teach girls about how to live in a world where they won't receive special treatment.
But then how will we solve this crisis of not having enough women H1-B visa holders in STEM?
These days, the IMAX name is about as reputable as a "THX Certified" sticker.
Apparently, they've never heard of the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution either.
I suspect that this sentence explains Shuttlesworth's REAL reason for "living" there:
From the Wikipedia article:
"The Isle of Man is a low-tax economy with no capital gains tax, wealth tax, stamp duty, or inheritance tax"
Yeah, if I were a billionaire, I would sure want to "live" there too. I could put my P.O. Box "home" right next to Mark's.
Does he even actually live on the Isle of Man, or is his "home" there a P.O. box that he just uses to avoid taxes?

Why don't you ask Muhammad al-Zery if that's true?
Tim promises.
And I'm sure Britain will send a very harshly-worded letter to Sweden afterwards.
How is that even possible without a hardware chip?
....and cue David Caruso putting on sunglasses.
That's what it's going to come with when it sells.
So you were okay with Facebook buying them, but an meaningless partnership with MS is what pushed you away?? lol
