Yeah, it does happen. Mostly because females are typically heavily discriminated against and highly socialized not to be interested in positions of leadership way before they reach the job market
The parent post is right. It's not discrimination if the group that get's the boost is underrepresented. Large companies today recognize the value, and furthermore, the necessity of having a diverse workforce. That female or black person who scored the same score as the white guy brings something that the average white guy doesn't bring, which isn't scored on any test, and that's their perspective. Don't get me wrong, there are diverse white guys, but companies today serve an extremely heterogenous market, and it's to their direct advantage that they employ people who represent some of the submarkets they serve.
I couldn't tell from the article whether it's read only or not, but it occurs to me that if it isn't, with that amount of data density, you could probably make it virtually read/write by just keeping a record of deleted/replaced sectors or something
"...maybe it is because Linux does not offer me anything that Windows doesn't, and it's never as easy to get too"
May have been easier to get, if not for the anti-competitive tactics MS uses to bully systems producers into not bundling Linux
What's all this nonsense about double fees? It's not like anyone's forcing you to take payments through PayPal. I think paying auction fees and transactions fees makes plenty of sense, as opposed to say, trusting some random check someone sends me.
Personally, I would love the ability to convey my emotions to the other drivers on the road. I think it's a great idea. An idea that will undoubtedly provoke road rage worldwide, but a great idea nonetheless
WTF is up with all of the lame pseudo-technical jargon? There's no such thing as "making a purchase/no purchase decision". I think you really just mean "decide to buy or not"
Hate to break it to you, but in today's world mathematical formulas ARE copywritten. Take for example DeCSS. It is an algorithm, but there are implementations of it that basically are only mathematical formulas, and under the DMCA, they are in violation of the law
Don't be a dumbass. The UN showed itself to be irrelevant when they did nothing as Saddam made them look foolish and kicked the UN weapons inspectors out.
Then they proved their irrelevance when the U.S. invaded Iraq. Regardless of how you feel about the invasion, the UN couldn't do shit to stop it.
It's kind of funny how the article seems to be just trying to find something to complain about, no matter how trivial the complaints are. It reads kind of like a news story from the Daily Show
Actually, I'd be damn happy if a store did think of me as $32000, instead of just a possible one-time purchase. That way, maybe they'd go out of their way to get my 32k, and make sure I'm damn happy all of the time
What people don't also realize is that song swapping is an old tradition, which helps keep old groups alive and helps new groups become more popular through word of mouth. I would say that literally the majority of the classic rock and underground songs that I listen to, I would never have known about if it wasn't for the fact that I could give a group a try by downloading MP3's. Then provided that I KNOW that I'm getting more than a couple good tracks, I buy the CD to support the group
The thing is, PDA's used to be really good at what they were supposed to do, which is manage information. But then, consumer's pushed for the PDA to be more of a portable computer, and the producers have been struggling to produce just the right device
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe the generation that discovers it with have enough of a sense of irony to avoid it
It's a good thing big business loves us and protects us squashing innovation at every turn
Well evidently a college degree isn't the end-all-be-all, since it's clear that women still have a long ways to go til equality

Nuff said
In your dreams. Software patents will be universal due to global government control by corporations
Because if we do, we let the terrorists win
Well not totally dead. TI is still rockin the 68k's in their higher end graphing calculators, for one thing
It lies mostly in that you don't have to boot it up, you can fit it in your pocket, and it's damn convenient for PIM type uses

Conflict of interests?
It's so worth it to order the CD. I'm buying mine today!

Well, I'm sure they'd much rather have the money as cash. I doubt most of the Paypal users will let it just sit there in their account

You're right, they're very innovative. Because it's not like any other search engines have ever tried branching out into other areas, like free email.
