Shouldn't the/. people be trying to encourage women to get into IT, rather than encouraging behaviour which scares them off?
Yup! My idea: Programmers + Soap = More women in IT. Maybe. (BTW I'm a programmer, with a limited vocabulary)
My gf hasn't a clue what to do for a career, I've suggested programming seeing as she's great at languages. She's aquainted with HTML, which is a start:)
I would if I could program more than a little QBasic.
I would imagine all that
loveley free pr0n will somewhat lose it's edge in the raster to ACSII conversion, but it's been done, so I cant see why it couldnt be part of a browser of sorts, even if it's just a bastardised Lynx.
Well, first off Anthy, i see exactly what ur sayin, and i 50% agree:) I don't discuss (I wont say 'argue' since its kinda confrontational, and this certainly aint a flame) things unless I could put a case for either side.
Here's the other 4 8ths: The brain is the most energy hungry organ in the human body, so maybe thinking less/easier does leave more energy for sex.
I somewhat doubt that/. was named so that Rob gould have a cheap giggle. He also has a fiance (sp?) / wife, or at least he did on Feb 14th.
I dont mean to offend anyone, but generally its guys who have to put the most physical effort into intercourse, hence our "obsession", for want of a better word, with performance.
Lastly, I fail to see the sexism in the story: where does it say anything about men being superior to women or such like? It's a post by a guy, aimed at guys; male oriented, but not sexist IMHO.
When it comes to software, if size really mattered, Microsoft would have a mon... Nevermind.:)
Well this one had to be done sooner or later. Apologies if it's already been done, gf kept me up all night. (sex, and cos I can't sleep with only half a duvet.)
From the article...
Nevertheless, Hop-On's foray into disposable phones sent its stock soaring from 2 cents to a high of $1.50 in December, before sliding back. Shares closed at 30 cents in over-the-counter trading yesterday.
Running roughshod over human rights and freedoms is okay (Yeah, I'm lookin' at you, China!), so long as you dont copy CD's.
China: Hey! The USA do it too! And others. Me: So? They're quiet about it. And they own the news too. Tough. China: *sulks* Me: Quit it! At least you guys are mates now. You've got all your sanctions lifted, got the freakin Olympics, and you're still keeping your citizens as financial cattle, fed on concocted 'news'. Hell, loadsa stuff in the western world says "Made in China", even the USA's Presidential Jet! China: Which we bugged. Me: Only as a mark of respect. Now sit down and shut up. Ukraine: *Kenny style muffled mumbling* Me: I'm sorry Ukraine, you're just not rich or dangerous enough to have a voice on the world stage, let alone any media coverage. Now sit down and shut up.

Just a couple of points:
H4x!nG [or DoS] = naughty, in the majority of cases, while Smuggling Opium... Over 3 kilos for
personal use? No, so fsck him.
Forget his physical age, he's obviously still a kid in his head, and his intelligence is/was a loaded gun. so expect to see him going down for a while, to make a good example to all terr^H^H^H^Hhackers that the United States Government will not tolerate this attack on the Freedom and way of life of its good, peaceful, law abiding, citizens. Erm... Yeah.
If this manages to hit mainstream news, I'd like to see how many references to 9-11 / terrorists this can draw. It's a tough one, sure, but The People don't need opinions, that's what mainstream news is for! And the more references to a BIG SIMPLE REDNECK COMPATABLE political notion it contains, the better.

One final note: 212.84.98.242 is driving my firewall mad, I'm a bit too lame/ill equipped atm to investigate.
I'd say that the USA and Europe are far to different to be compared like that anyway. europe is a continent, run by a bunch of politicians hungry for power on a global scale. Europe is geographically small, hence the "need" for a single currency. Already dubbed "The Toilet Currency" by city traders. They know what they are doing, so i wont add any more.
An EU wide arrest warrant seems inevitable. Prezzydent Blair will let them fuck us with anything just go get his grinning arse into europe. It basically means that anyone in europe can be arrested by the "law enforcement" agencies from anywhere else in europe. No appeals, no corpus mendhi [spelling?], no luck. We might as well be one huge superstate, since this law effectiveley harmonises all law enforcement, while bringing it down to the lowest level.
Something Blair is unlikeley to say: "What?!? You want other law enforcement agencies to come over here and arrest my citizens without even asking? you want someone arrested here, you ask OUR police!" but nevermind. Hell, we dont even have free encryption anymore, in case anyone forgot. Hand over the keys or you better practice holding wet soap!
The dumber the electorate, the easier it is for corrupt politicians to come into power. Make of that what you will.

FID AD-11 = utter shite, dies total dead after a few weeks, didn't recognise my Promise FastTrack 100 (RAID), and now i cant get a friggin refund! I bought it on the strength of a good review in Micromart. shoulda researched deeper i think. it always pays to do a quick search for bad reports of new hardware; monitors, drives, heatsinks, girlfriends etc...
A few months of saving later and i got me an Asus A7V 266-E, and an Asus Geforce3 Ti200 card.... Mmmmmm....!!:-) I Haven't looked back.
I've had a couple WD drives fail too, and an IBM 20 gig, which i also saw a few bad reports of on a quick google search. i have 2x IBM Deskstar 60 GXP 40gb on my raid card... no problems so far.
As i remember the WD drive that caused the most problems failed with a few weeks or freezes and painful stuttering and delayed access. when it finally gave out, a high powered air rifle made a good mess of it.
The morals? Speed is rareley top priority when buying hardware. GeForce 3 cards rareley differ much from nVidia's reference board, so speed accross the board is pretty equal. The difference is the drivers supplied, and any software bundles etc... by the way check out http://www.tvtool.de/index_e.htm for better TV drivers.:)
In the long run its a good idea to take time out from Ebuyer, however tempting it is to order right there and then, and do some half decent research on the product you might buy, and any that might appear and make you think "oh crap, shoulda waited for that!".
Would be dumb for a company like them.... if it really were [which i doubt, but i sure as hell aint sayin ur wrong ], then they'd get to deal with a whole load of lawsuits, along the lines of "hey i bought a load of your goddamn shares and you were bullshittin me!"... IAPNAL [ P = Proudly ]

The government is bent as a corkscrew... A lot of the economic trouble came from dodgy dealings behind the scenes.
Inevitably, the bubble burst and it was the the people who suffered... Those riots were for food, although granted the odd TV set or 2 got a 5 finger discount here and there...
The same happened in Japan... Land value skyrocketed because the banks were lending progressiveley more and more for the same piece of land. *POP* Someone has a worthless piece of land and a gigantic loan to pay off.
Power corrupts. Same old.
Now watch the UK go the same way. Blair is gonna stab us all in the back just so he can be king of Europe. And as for the £350 pound [worth] Euro note, that'll be the crimelord special.
