The Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus merely perpetuates sexist stereotypes that seem to permeate society. It does nothing to bring about change. It is a regressive book that solves nothing. Perhaps the time spent reading such a book could better be spent talking with one's partner.
The book (and all the other clone works it spawned) is even more galling because so many stupid Sleepers out there read it and believe it more-or-less unquestioningly. Oh, that's what Bob is thinking? Why didn't I know that before? Well, maybe you should have just fucking had a conversation with him. Could it be that some people just aren't meant for each other? Maybe the divorce rate is high for a reason?
Whatever - the thing is, (Boy != Girl) == true, no matter what spin you put on it. That fact has been obvious for millenia.
No, I have no over-arcing point to my diatribe, merely anger and frustration. Books like this are a money-making sham and their authors should be shot.
So there you have it. Truth according to the Internet.:)
The Internet is not so much a bastion of truth as it is a bastion of Mob Mentality. Still - as the number of people who believe something is true gets large, the relevance of it's actual truth or falsehood approaches zero.
...OR point to the computer and call it the "MODEM". You would NOT BELIEVE how often I got this while working call-center for an ISP. Well, you call-center people know what I'm talking about.

I was going somewhere with this, but now I've lost it. It appears very cut and dried to me, though. The only one that is not logically true is the last one.
Something to think about while you uselessly debate such an issue.
Whatever works is fine. Use the tools that your Master provides you to get the job done. If you like using Open Source tools to do what you do, then seek work which uses that. If you want to learn.NET, then learn it. If you want to learn Java, learn it.

Nice goatse reference there... slipped that in quite beautifully...
J. Random Hacker will invent some way of emulating our current capabilities before all is lost, much like we are placing things like the Gutenberg bible online and so forth... it's quite likely that, in the same way we have TRS80 emulators today, there will be emulators for the OS's and chipsets of today in the future.
But it is my fervent hope that, in the future, all will be able to play Deathtrack once again...

It can be shown via Cantor's diagonal proof that there are books on group theory which cannot be written.
Tautologies rock.
I think that's true only if author_insanity > 0, though you may be able to apply L'Hopital's Rule in that case - I can't remember.
