  1. Re:Making satire of equal rights. on GitHub Takes Down Satirical 'C Plus Equality' Language · · Score: 1

    So, understanding that people are born with an upper hand in our society is irrational? Huh. I guess I would have assumed that any rational person would have seen this. You are right, feminism is an ideology. A very broad and diverse ideology that houses many different schools of thought. Many people disagree in the direction this ideology should go. But, they all agree that women, as a group, do not receive equal treatment. It serves as a vehicle to helping people attain equal treatment. Anti-racism is an ideology as well, but in reality, who would talk this badly about people who subscribe to anti-racist viewpoints? Honestly?

    Wait, the idea that all people should have equal opportunity is a problem? Sure, it's not a race, but its a sex. I recognize that as a white male living in the United States makes me part of the privileged class. It's an "ideology" based on the FACTS that women are not given the same opportunities as men. Plain and simple. Women are (usually) born women, and (typically) have no say in the matter, putting it in the same playing field as racism. Your comparison to Islam is shallow and shortsighted.

    I cant wait to see how people defend a compiler that makes fun of the equal treatment of Latinos or African Americans. My heart died a little today reading these comments.

    But there are tons of folks who don't get their paychecks delayed 16 days, they didn't get them at all. The people who rely on government workers to patronize on a daily basis, like restaurants and gas stations, will never get that time or money back.

  5. Signo .38 on Ask Slashdot: The Search For the Ultimate Engineer's Pen · · Score: 1

    I love the Uni-ball Signo .38. I've never had it blob, and it ususally starts writing immediately, so no need for scribbling.

  6. Ursula K. LeGuin. on Ask Slashdot: Most Underappreciated Sci-Fi Writer? · · Score: 1

    The Left Hand of Darkness is a fantastic book, from a great series about the Hainish Cycle.

  10. Re:Groklaw has a pretty good article. on Bill Gates Takes the Stand In WordPerfect Trial · · Score: 1

    It's generic (just like gnome shell). They totally jumped into it assuming that everyone would love it. I think that it is fantastic on my netbook, but it just irks me on my laptop.
