If, if, if. Infants should be fed breast milk. It's pretty well accepted science. I'm not saying a woman can't pump, etc. It's certainly been done before. It's just pretty obvious that biologically, women have the relevant equipment and temperment to handle this duty better. You know...since it's worked that way since the dawn of man.
Speaking as someone who's worked with the "women who want to work from home in a tech job so they can care for their children": I DON'T WANT THEM.
They disappear for hours at a time on IM/email, they miss calls or have children screaming in the background during them. It just doesn't work.
Note: I have 2 children and wouldn't dream of being able to actually do my job from home (which I can and have done sitting in my home office with the door closed and no distractions), while caring for my children. It's an insane thing to think is an equitable arrangement for an employer.
Sounds like you have no idea how to moderate. This doesn't have to be one extreme or the other. For example, I have done tech startups for years. It's 80+ hours a week. It's total stress. It's a constant stream of dealing with problems just to get through the day. All for a pretty good living with a "lottery ticket" (meaning the startup takes off and you get to sell). Now I have 2 kids. As of the first one, I simply took some contract work. Recently I've even take a full time job with a company I used to do work for. I travel very rarely, I don't work much more than 50 hours a week (and I'm probably overestimating), and I make plenty of money to have my house, a few cars (not brand new anymore, but just fine) and even get to go out to dinner on occasion.
You see, besides being moderate in your job and how much income you have, you can also change your spending habits. I did it, and I'm essentially a child when it comes to self control. So it can't be all that out of reach.
At least they have a built in naming scheme if they follow through with mass production. "Dazed and Confused", "Communication Breakdown", "Your Time Is Gonna Come", "The Lemon Song". And, of course, the one over the US Mexico Border, "Immigrant Song", and the one over Louisiana can be "When the Levee Breaks".
I had the misfortune of working at an IBM authorized warranty repair place at the time, and was certified on those pieces of crap. I still have the occasional nightmare that includes replacing a 701 keyboard.
Mr. Burns: Smithers, get the amnesia ray.
Smithers: You mean the revolver, sir?
Mr. Burns: Yes, and be sure to wipe your mind clear when you're done as well.
As an aside, it could prove an incredibly sleazy way to pick up women.
Having been a man in a woman's shelter - just in the office area - and seeing how some of the abused women react, that's not even the slightest bit funny.
I know I'm just feeding a troll here, but F U, simpleton.
All small non profits (women's shelters, food banks, volunteer fire departments, etc) always need someone who can do basic PC maintenance, install software, generally help them USE their computers with a little bit of training, and fix things.
I used to do the service work on the PCs, network, and copier at a local woman's shelter when I was in the repair business. It was one of my freebies that I did simply because I was asked.
People are not going to trade in a $200 clunker in exchange for $2,000 of a $20,000 debt on something that depreciates if they can even get a loan in this environment.
Have you learned nothing about how our economy got here in the first place?
Not to be rude, but, if you were to click on the link to the section titled 'Developers' or the section titled 'Ask Slashdot' and read the various posts, and I mean actually read every post, your questions probably should be answered.
Contrary to the apparent groupthink on/., IT does not solely consist of development.
How does not working show a lack of responsibility?...
If I had the means I've never work again.
Employers like you to have a mortgage, two new cars and a family to pay for. It means you need them more than they need you. If, for whatever reason, you aren't working for a time, you are either irresponsible to the point of whimsically quitting a job, or don't need a job all that badly. Either one of which makes you more of a risk to hire.
When was the last time you used an IP address instead of a domain name? The only thing I could think of was setting up my DSL modem a year ago, but I'm not a network admin.
Obviously not. Because that's something I do many, many times each day. Not to say that a small minority should hold this back, but we also happen to be the people who would have to implement it to begin with.
I heard a while back that some power company (possibly in California) had a pilot program where they put a remote display in your house that simply tells you how much power you are currently using. The people who were interviewed that had the display for a few months said it absolutely changed their behaviour for the better, and they obviously ended up with lower power bills because of it.
This seems so simple, and the technology is obviously available.
The people who built these rovers were not all "American."
Did we coordinate the mission and enable a group of bright people to make something like this happen? Yes, of course we did. That's MORE American (in the real spirit of the Country) than some xenophobic team of wasps who have never stepped foot out of the US doing the work.
I'm not saying power couldn't be supplied, but I don't think it'd be cost effective, and you'd need to run a whole new set of lines.
The same way the repeaters are already powered - the are power leads bundled with the fiber cable. In a full cut, they would have to repair the copper power leads anyway.
I don't think that means what you think it means. It sounds like you got "naked" DSL. If you were able to get a dry pair out of an RBOC in the last 5 years I'd be seriously surprised. I dry pair is simply a bare copper pair, with no repeaters, from one location to another, usually cross-connected through your local switching station. It's used typically by the alarm monitoring industry (well, not so much anymore, but it used to be) and people trying to use DSL equipment to make a point to point connection on the cheap across town.
Kinda. But when in actual practice, things are routinely done such as pulling over cars going through sections of state and national forests by game wardens so that the local K9 unit can sniff the car for drugs you have to take notice. Why game wardens? Because they have broad powers to search a vehicle on any park land, even through roads, looking for game poaching. This is being used TODAY all the time to pull "suspicious looking" people over, search their cars, and end up making a drug or DUI arrest. I know this from second hand experience, as a family member is married to a former Virginia park ranger who's job, for the most part, is to do exactly this. He told me this directly. I have no reason to not believe him, as he doesn't even think he's doing anything wrong. Just telling me what he does for a living.
I just bought a 3TB S550 for $6400, including support. You can certainly pay more and get more redundancy/speed, but don't write off NetApp for the low end. So fat this thing is great. I'm using it as an iSCSI target for a VMWare LUN as well as NFS storage.

the mostly arbitary decision that women have to stay home with the kids
The last time I checked, men don't lactate.

Have you learned nothing about how our economy got here in the first place?
Yes....that's my point. So how is it that 120v is one more step down in the datacenter?
In fact, the biggest saving would probably be if we went from 120v to 240v for everything. One less down-conversion, etc.
WHAT? 120v - one hot lead and the neutral bar. 240v - 2 hot leads. I think you are missing something here about how power is delivered.
Why didn't this follow up article include a Return on Investment number?
For the same reason that you NEVER EVER add up your receipts when you are restoring a car. It is sure to make you cry.

That is correct (for black and white paper). But it was originally engineered that way because of Bragador's point.
I heard a while back that some power company (possibly in California) had a pilot program where they put a remote display in your house that simply tells you how much power you are currently using. The people who were interviewed that had the display for a few months said it absolutely changed their behaviour for the better, and they obviously ended up with lower power bills because of it.

...and a perfect example of why testers should be working closely with programmers, writing sensible unit tests as the code progresses.
how do you propose to power it?
I'm not saying power couldn't be supplied, but I don't think it'd be cost effective, and you'd need to run a whole new set of lines.
The same way the repeaters are already powered - the are power leads bundled with the fiber cable. In a full cut, they would have to repair the copper power leads anyway.
I got dry-loop DSL through AT&T.
I don't think that means what you think it means. It sounds like you got "naked" DSL. If you were able to get a dry pair out of an RBOC in the last 5 years I'd be seriously surprised.

Doesn't this kinda depend?

even better a free copy of RHEL so they can see where their code is going.
Its called CentOS.
