Activists will never accept the possibility that there is an inherent preference between genders for certain types of subjects. Articles like this always make it sound like woman are being driven from science or cs and we must persuade/push/bribe to get woman into it. No one is pushing woman away from it, they are simply choosing careers that they prefer. For every Marie Curie there are a hundred Clara Bartons.
My boss, for example, is quitting her IT management job to spend more time with her young children and aging parents. She is a great boss and if we had our way we'd never let her go.
I rarely hear anyone complain about the lack of male schoolteachers (came up in today's Boston Globe), or nurses, or day care providers. Where are the hand wringing studies pushing to fix that?
Blizzard put a little creative energy into devising a system that would allow for the convenient formation of ad hoc raid groups? I'm thinking of something like entering a time in the in-game calendar when you're available for raiding, and automagically getting matched with people who are available at the same time.
Shhhh, that would make too much sense.
I've been asking for something like this for a while. I can count the number of times I've been able to raid on one hand. I also find that most invites to do runs seem to pop up around midnight when you need to go to bed. An organized pug planning system would be a boon for those of us with jobs, outside interests, etc.
I figure lotteries are taxes on those who don't grasp probability in mathematics and the desperate. Why do you think so many beggers turn around and spend those cups of coins on scratch tickets? (I see them do it)
Sad thing is that lotteries are there because people don't want to admit they need more tax revenue but don't want a fair tax system. They'd rather have a system based on people desperately scratching away.
Technical skill has nothing to do with having a functioning bullshit detector. I don't know how to build a circuit but I do know that no legit person comes up to a complete stranger and offers them millions of dollars for "a small fee". Even animals can sense danger.
Actually, as far as the law is concerned, if you infiltrate a computer on US soil you have committed a crime here and are therefore liable to US laws. Germany would have to agree to extradite him though but I doubt they'd have a problem with that. I assume they bothered using a trick instead of just asking for extradition because they were afraid he might flee or just wanted to speed up the process.
The US extradites drug traffickers in Columbia though the people buying the drugs from them are the criminals as far as I'm concerned. No one forced them to buy. In the case of Panamanian strongmen they just kidnap them with an invasion by the military.
we can't tell a sovereign country how they punish crimes committed within their borders
True that, but we don't have to be silent about it or condone it. Death for a few grams of a narcotic? Not much better than some country stoning people for adultery or even one young woman who was raped.
This isn't a cure, it is a transplant. The disease itself wasn't stopped. It is like saying they cured heart disease with a heart transplant or TB with a lung transplant.
Don't knock him until you read his idea for using a rock in every PC as memory. He has finally found a way to reconcile the stone age and the computer age!
I especially like his idea for a new sport. It consists of throwing a weight, walking up to it and throwing it again. Fun for the whole family!
"[Laser] This mode of communications is faster than all current satellites that use radio frequencies to transmit signals which is much slower than the speed of light."
I must have confused radio waves with electromagnetic radiation.
I'll put Shampoo's ideas to use as soon as I figure out how to connect them to the CIA devices in my fillings.
Thanks, I can't stand these damn signs either. I thought it was just a problem around where I live. They appear to be planted around intersections and exit ramps by someone leaning out of their car in the middle of the night. Since they are close to the curb I've had the urge to drive over them. As if the trash that blows off of lazy people's trucks wasn't bad enough.

But there is a girl in the classroom! I'm going to show her some cool macros...

Coming up next on slashdot technology, "The Physics of Santa Claus".
I'm very dissapointed to see Buster Gonads wasn't on that list.
While we're at it I'd like to see Marmaduke and Hi & Lois added also.
Deregulation has worked great for the US banking industry.
It is a good thing they didn't try to rip off DIAMOND DAVE!

Well I guess that explains why they wanted to use the job interview trick. If they can't extradite him they can try to get him to show up voluntarily.

America will now be safe from terrorist sea mammals.
That's it, I'm tearing up all of my Chunghwa coupons.
$585 million? That should buy 1 more day for the DOD in Iraq.
Suggestion for next rover, a $5 broom attachment.
MCDonalds sells Spam now? Now that would be a HAMburger!
IceWeasel? No no, that is too close to sounding like a trademark law firm.
Of course sharks raise their scales, it is called "goosebumps". That water is cold!

Bless the coming of him and curse his going for it is unpleasant

Better yet, leave them there and write "SCAM" on them in indelible marker.
So they work on the Scientology model?
