I honestly can't understand the sheer amount of hatred and bile I've seen on Slashdot (and the internet in general) which is directed at women.
No, there's no hatred directed at women here. That's the bullshit narrative that white knights like you want to create so you can portray any critics of your shit as evil hate-mongers. The anger here is directed at professional-victims, self-righteous SJW's, self-hating white knights--and hypocrites in general. It's also directed at those who want to forcibly turn a tech news site into some SJW support camp, by labeling anyone who doesn't toe the SJW line as misogynists, racists, slut-shamers, bigots, etc. Well, fuck you, I'm not playing ball.
Barbie has been under fire from feminists for so long that ANYTHING Mattel does with it will be attacked. If they release a "My CEO Barbie" playset tomorrow, the SJW's and white knights will call it "patronizing." If they don't release it, the SJW's and white knights will complain they Mattel never shows Barbie in any leadership roles. If they release it in Japan but not in the U.S., the SJW's and white knights will complain that Mattel doesn't think American girls should be CEO's.
It's a no-win situation, and Mattel would be best off telling the SJW's, white knights, feminists, etc. to go fuck themselves. They're not the ones who are ever going to be buying them anyway.
Unfortunately, Wednesday is often the only available travel day for many Americans—but Google thinks they can beat the worst of the traffic if they leave before 2 P.M. or after 7 P.M. on that day.
Wow, thanks. Never would have guessed that without this data analysis.
Traffic on Thanksgiving itself is also light, according to the data.
This is only because of precaution-principle aficionados, gaia loving, "activists" who objected to both the building of new, safer, reactors and reactor design research.
Hey man, you just don't understand that Mother Earth needs us to be good stewards and shit...[takes toke].....You see man, solar and wind, they're gonna, like, change the air and clean up the water and....Hey man, why did the power just go out? COME BACK ON, POWER! I NEED MY CARTOON NETWORK!!
Like the GP, I was also surprised to hear that a probe so far from Earth was solar powered
Never underestimate the ideological reach of a bunch of European hippies with hate anything with the word "nuclear" in it and think solar is the solution to everything.
Considering that there is a long history of console games getting much BETTER over the life of a console, I'll take my chances. Sure beats chasing the dragon of PC gaming.
How many PCs in your household do you have to upgrade with a $500 video card?
One that's going to play games like the latest Assassin's Creed or Dragon Age on anything higher than "shit." Cheapest videocard I saw that even even met their base "recommended" requirements was almost as expensive as an entire PS4 or Xbox One. No thank you.
Don't need to upgrade regularly anymore, huh? Go look at the system requirements on AC: Unity and tell me you can play that on even medium settings with a system that hasn't been upgraded in years.
PC graphics hardware isn't obsolete until a month after it comes out.
Lol, that's why I finally switched from PC to console. I loved the modding and the cutting-edge graphics of the PC. But I got tired of dropping $500 on a new videocard only to have it be garbage a year later.
Just look at the new specs of AC: Unity as a good example of the problem. The videocard required to run that thing on the recommended settings on a PC is almost as expensive as the entire PS4/Xbox-One console.
IMHO such patents are highly unethical and do nothing for humanity as a whole.
Do you honestly think that everyone is just going to get together, sing Kumbaya, and collectively kick-in to donate the $ billions needed to do R&D to develop these higher-yield/easier-to-maintain crops, with no profit motive? It's a lovely thought. But aside from this proposed seed collective, I don't see a whole lot of other organizations out there stepping up to the plate and offering to replace Monsanto for free.

Good lord, /. has devolved into AMA's with 17-year-olds now? What's next, "5th Grader Discusses His Views on Modern Programming"?
How is it that I can actually hear you crying even those posts aren't supposed to have audio?
Timothy's GF must have really given him some shit this morning.
Christ, it's gstoddart again. Shouldn't you be down at the Women's Student Center apologizing?
I think the next story should be about minorities in tech.
I wonder what the conclusion of such an article would be?
Maybe we should ask Slashdot and DICE what percentage of *their* professional staff and execs are women and minorities.
I was worried there for a minute that an entire 24 hours might pass without our daily SJW outrage story.
Help, help, they're being oppressed!

Actually, that's what I was thinking. Sounds like they are telling Barbie that she can be a manager rather than just a code monkey.
Wait....that's actually a GOOD thing, right?

I had the mistaken belief that all space probes / landers were nuke-powered.
They are--by nuclear fusion on the Sun.

Or I could just pick up an entire console for $100 more and will DEFINITELY still be playing AAA games in 2020.
Consoles are obsolete when they come out.

Or my favorite Wired headline: "How X is going the CHANGE THE WORLD!"
Remember that ISIS is our enemy now. They have always been our enemy.
Ignore those who say they used to be our ally in Syria and we were sending them weapons and aid. They want the T E R R O R I S T S to win!
And the street fight always ends with a dozen more forks. ;-)
IIRC, DevBootcamp claims a 90% post-bootcamp employment rate with an average 80K salary.
If DevBootcamp can really produce a 90% hire rate at the end, with an average $80K/year salary, then they could call me whatever animal they want to.
