There is some strong cultural force at work here that discourages women from becoming programmers.
Yes! It's called "higher pay" and it applies to fields of law, medicine, and business. With women generally being smarter and in other fields not needing to interact with as many social retardates, it is clear that there is a cultural imperative to discourage women from programming.
Or maybe it's nonsense like this or this coming from the IT world that keeps them out. Who knows?

If that is your idea of a lay question, I'd hate to be hit with one of your "expert" questions...
What!? Don't tell me you're scared of fringe effects on leakage current, non-linear C-V models, and photo mask correction factors! Sheesh! Nerds these days...
Is that what government wanted? That I'll have a credit card charge in EUROS, PESOS or whatever for my music?
Yes. Because it worked so well for online poker. For those of you unfamiliar with the issue, Visa no longer lets US customers use their credit cards for depositing to foreign gambling establishments (it being illegal and all). My assumption is if large numbers of Internet music providers go oversea with a pay-to-listen/buy model that sidesteps the powers that be, a quick lawsuit from the RIAA will ensure you won't be able to use your Visa card to pay either. BTW, a similar issue holds for PayPal, Neteller, and other online payment providers. So good luck fighting "da man"...
It is just that here, when people face problems big as this shooter must had faced people tend to start by killing themselves and from there moving on to killing other people.
Yes. The Finns are blessed with one of the highest suicide rates on the planet. I am glad you can see the bright side of it. Many people would become depressed at the news, and attempt... Hey, is this some sort of feedback loop or something?
... it is entirely possible that light may not have been the creature's sole energy source.
But that is not the point. The point is that Adrienne Barbeau was hot in Swamp Thing. How many times do I have to tell you guys? Focus, focus, focus...
Oops, I let the cat out of the bag (we're not supposed to do that except with other lib'rals). And having grown up in one of these places, I know of what I speak.
... the law of tonnage rules and small guys get eaten alive in wrecks.
Absolutely. Joe Trucker sez: "That's why my Freightliner is the safest thing on the road. And with a full load on the back, I can absolutely guarantee that I'll come out on top (pun intended) even if I get into an accident with a Hummer!"
By your logic, I'd expect to see suburban housewives in eighteen-wheelers any day now (Gotta keep the wife and kiddies safe, ya know!).
... ever seen what a SUV does to a cute little Honda Civic in a crash?
Yeah, I have. I was in a little Subaru Legacy sedan. The other driver was in a Chevy Suburban. We collided in a relatively glancing hit on the left front at about 15 MPH. I drove away. The body mass of the Suburban caused its body to slide forward on its frame, completely preventing the front wheels from turning and it had to be towed away. I was completely unharmed and the driver of the Suburban was complaining that she "hit her head" - something that seemed unlikely to me, as there was at least two feet of travel room between her forehead and the steering wheel and we weren't going fast enough to even deploy the air bags. Need I also mention that she was talking on the cell phone at the time?
So what do we learn from this? People who drive SUVs are stupid, scamming pricks who like to pay huge repair bills. And crappy drivers to boot.
you know, the ones that the pretentious Manhattanites like to call 'flyover states'
Actually, the only ones I've heard calling them "flyover states" are snarky conservatives trying to show how elitist the coastal types are. Most of us "pretentious" types tend to show off our education by referring to them by their proper area names - the Midwest or the Mountain States - unless we're at our Communist self-criticism sessions, when we call them by their PC liberal name - "Shitholes where no one wants to live".
I just surprised myself by learning that I have more Addison-Wesley titles than books by all other publishers combined.
Addison-Wesley publishes much more in the Computer field than AP. And, although O'Reilly publishes about as many titles, it's not clear that the result is much better than the online resources whose transcriptions make up a large part of their content. AW is *the* class act in CS publishing for the US, covering both academic and trade areas. They have the best editors, content production, and physical production around. Face it, if Knuth lets them publish his stuff, they must be good...
I had to take distance education courses just to get C++ programming in high school. Even then I blew through a whole years of material in a month or two, because the material was just too damn easy.
If you really think that C++ is that easy, you're either a genius or you're not doing anything too difficult or interesting in it...

Let's be realistic here - if you were them, would you want to? Staring failure in the face every day is not for the faint of heart...

Yeah, but you have to go learn another language...

Dude, if you tried to sell me a security Dachshund that couldn't even jump up and bite the intruder in the balls, I'd sue.
Damn those pesky kids!

The syntax is just way too overblown - but then us Smug Lisp Weenies know that anything more than parens and a few lexical markers is overblown.
Uh, no. Only female environmentalists fake things*. Glad to clear that up for you.
*Although, being on Slashdot, I can only take others' word for this.
Just so they don't steal Balmer's latest idea for business:
1. Throw chair
2. ???
3. Profit!!!
I'd probably call it poor, but look on the bright side - the company made money, the salesman made money and two out of three ain't bad...
