Your "group" must be cloistered dopes or you don't listen very well.
To be fair though, nearly all the recent mass shooting were done by despondent loners. I prefer my people buying useless crap and hanging out on Rule 34 then gunning down innocents.
Seconded. The Nvidia Shield is a fantastic tablet. Effective Stylus, upgrades are current, SD slot, excellent performance. I had mine for about six months when the battery recall came out. Sent in the old and I got a brand new one with minimum hassle. I had the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 prior and they were great tablets as well. The Nvidia just oozes quality of construction and high performance. I say that despite some misgivings over some recent failed video cards as well.
Based upon what evidence? What studies have been done to show this? Who does a such a study without having some kind of skin in the game? Why doesn't anyone talk about how male students in high school get labeled as "nerds" if they are good at math? Arguably just as bad when it impacts their ability to date. I was the brightest of my friends and my guy friends never said "he is good at math" they said "he's a nerd!" I continued to do it because I had a passion for it, DESPITE the discouragement. And believe me, when your buddies want you to go out partying and you just want to finish up this last "feature" for your pet project the derision can be significant.
Who is to say that your answer is the correct one? There are many possible reasons for the lack of female participation in STEM. Maybe females have a different chemistry that make them *less likely* to be passionate about such things. Maybe they don't like the competitiveness. Maybe they are not generally as good at it, -OR- maybe they are being oppressed in some way. Maybe all of the above. Maybe something completely different.
The problem with your answer is that you are looking for someone or something to blame... and rather than looking at the entire problem you are pigeon-holing the entire issue to fit YOUR answer. An answer that has not been proven in any measurable way. Why are you so sure you have the answer? What evidence exists that allows you to be so certain your answer is right?
Figure out why males who suffer ridicule and derision for their passions continue to do it and then see why the same model doesn't apply for females. There are many potential reasons for the imbalance of gender in the STEM fields. If you refuse to recognize that your aren't a solution to the problem.
No, RTFA.
Google Fiber Basic Service, which provides up to 5Mbps download and 1Mbps upload speeds, is normally free. It does, however, require a one-time $300 construction fee (or $25 per month for a year). That’s the part Google is waiving here, though the company notes families will be able to upgrade to gigabit speeds at any time by subscribing ($70 per month).
Good for Google. We need to put as much pressure as possible on the thieving cable companies. I swear to god I want to see Time Warner burned to the ground....Cuddles!
Why not learn to wire a house or install plumbing? Why is every program trying to over-saturate IT? I believe the construction industry is a boys only club as well.
When I was first learning to code a long time ago I created a D&D character creator program. I thought a cool feature would be having the ability to randomly generate a character including attributes, class, proficiencies, spells, traits - literally everything. It was a lot of fun to start a new campaign and have each player use a randomly generated character. It really took you out of your comfort zone to play a ranger that was a dual wielding specialist with daggers or a wizard with pathfinding skills. It also made for strange parties - not your usual min/max fest.

Calm down, Dennis.
Time Warner refuses to be beaten in worst customer service.
Nope, just working his day shift out of an office in Kiev.

Ill take a stab at it. How many of your "grand wizards" have type 2?
The Philosophy of Science is about as useful to physicists as biology and sociology are to humans. huh.
And neither does god. It just adds "magic" into the equation.
Yep, and disks 17, 23, and 31 would all be bad.
... a trout hits the windshield.
Cool, so climate change will take care of itself then.
As long as they don't bother encrypting them.

Cracked was funny. All the good writers left a couple years ago and now its amateur crap.
