"during time of war" is more broad than you would imagine. While the wikipedia article specifies the timeframe for the Gulf War I period of eligibility through 1995, I remember a brand new butterbar coming into our unit around the end of 1992, and we all made fun of him because he only had the "I made it through Basic!" medal.
I'd be surprised if 94% of professionals worked more than 40 hours a week, never mind 50. I don't know how they arrived at that figure, but it doesn't pass the sniff test at all.
I'm not sure why you would pick CS graduates as opposed to applicants for positions. Any large company is going to have sales, marketing, administration staff, etc. so picking one specific category, even if it would be the largest, will not give you remotely accurate results. It also implies a CS degree is a pre-requisite for a job at a company, instead of for specific jobs. For example, you're going to have a lot of support staff (server, network, desktop teams, helpdesk, etc.) who would have no requirement for and a low likelihood of having a CS degree. Companies, even tech companies, are not so easily reduced to simple statistics that are meaningful.
A pretty trivial Google search "yahoo board of directors" has the first search result their list of board of directors (imagine that). 2 of the 7 are women, and 1 of them is, in fact, Marissa Mayer. So I don't suppose that the board of directors would ultimately disagree.
Why do you figure HR is prejudiced against women or ethnicity? Wouldn't it be the other way around? That'd look better being all diverse and stuff, right? Maybe they really are presenting you all the people that responded.
I find a lot of people on Slashdot seem to hate HR, but don't have any idea what they really do or why. Lots of standard kneejerk reactions. That said, it doesn't mean that processes in general may not be broken and that incompetent people don't exist everywhere up and down the chain. I find both conditions to get generally true.
If your idea is that all jobs must be hired full time, then your idea of working for another company at less than full time is not especially sensible.
You could probably do this via some VR solution of a world with just enough problems to make it believable. Can't be too perfect. At any rate, you'd probably have all sorts of people signing up for that, and you could harvest that energy generated from their fat for whatever reasons you wanted.
You are completely ignoring scientific principle. For all of the science-based things you say we take on faith, you could devise experiments to verify if those things are correct or not. For religious based things, you're talking about KNOWING something...just KNOWING it.
The simple fact is, that just KNOWING is very subject to an awful lot of logical fallacies and observational flaws. You should also do some (basic) research into how the brain works and how people can believe things that are completely and obviously untrue - phantom limbs, alien hand syndrome, other sorts of things like that.
One would hope so. It'd suck to have to go to your original destination without being able to change your mind, stop along the way, etc.! I can't imagine that sort of design being a beneficial feature.
Umm...those kinds of places are cheap to travel to. Even Western Europe and the expensive parts of Asia are easily doable with a little budgeting -- both for the travel, and for home life. If you want to do things, sacrifice. It always works.
You can certainly choose how you live your life, but I think your defensiveness of your choice and your distaste for others who've chosen differently speaks significantly more about you than them. People generally genuinely love their kids -- oh yes, they can be a huge PITA sometimes, but the other times? So worthwhile. It's cliche, but true, to say it's hard to appreciate that without having any. In any event, the language of clinging, "breeders", and expecting the majority of the world to be jealous or scared of you...enjoy your persecution complex, but you're waaaay overthinking what other people think of you.
You act like there's only one possible consequence. Picking up my wife and kid after a long flight, I was surprised to hear a chorus of "Goodbye Alex!" and see three cute college girls waving at him.
To be fair though, at one point I would have thought just like you. It didn't change so much from having a kid, but even earlier I learned how worrying excessively about what other people do is pointless and it's a thing better let go of.

Given how bad that movie stunk, if it's still around, it should be trivial to find.

You know that you can check the time on your watch only when you choose, too, right?
That said, I do appreciate the pain of knowing the time in a place where the time is irrelevant. :)

Why do you think violent criminals released from jail due to crappy software would be somehow mad at the software company?

Gotta have somewhere to put all your eels, you know.
You know that "m" has a fairly specific meaning WRT distance, right? :)
You're driving it wrong? :)
If it's not on all the time, then it won't be able to carry out it's function all the time.
What sarcasm?

Yes, there most certainly is.
Matthew Broderick wasn't even in the "Which Way" movies. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
The good ol' times are never quite like we romanticize them. It's always been this way.

If the Germans were going to reveal FDR's secrets, you'd think they'd have done it by now. The man's been dead for 70 years!

Not relevant. You're taxed on profits (generally), not sheer amount of cash you may or may not be sitting on.
You mean conscientious investing. Contentious investing would rather different from this. :)
