I can't find out info about that - and I want to! But, there's an interesting article from TIME comparing harassment of men and harassment of women. Shit I hadn't really thought of? Women seem to get harassed for "being women" moreso than men are harassed for "being men."
I don't know about the scale of abuse increasing or not; that's been hard to find numbers on. Doing some resaerch, though, it seems TIME article (citing studies!) is appropriately named: There's No Comparing Male and Female Harassment Online Interesting stuff I hadn't considered:
women’s harassment is more likely to be gender-based (...) (T)he harassment targeted at men is not because they are men, as is clearly more frequently the case with women. (...) a lot of harassment is an effort to put women, because they are women, back in their “place.”
I won't get into the end part there, not touching that with a ten foot pole. BUT - it's true; very few men are harassed just for being men. Relevant XCKD, perhaps?
First off, to be clear, I don't think Azealia Banks should get off that one for free. That said? We're talking about it, so she didn't exactly get off without anyone caring, now did she?
racism, bigotry, and sexism against white men don't exist.
Plenty of people are racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted against white men. The difference here is about *systemic* racism and sexism. To compare:
Some people being racist against white folks? Shitty, individual racism.
A study where identical job applications are sent out, with names like "Johnathan" and "Tyrone." Johnathan gets more callbacks by far. Shittier - systemic racism.
A study where identical applications to be professor's assistants were sent out to hundreds of professors, with names like "Robert" and "Samantha." Robert gets far more callbacks. Shittier - *systemic* sexism.
Now, here's the thing - that third one, with the professors? Even women professors judged against the applications based on gender.
Very few people in the various "let's get rid of sexism" movements either "hate men" or blame men for everything. That's just not how it is, in reality. Yeah, there are other voices that are louder saying things on the extreme end. Sort of like how most Christians aren't Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church. The US has 247 million Christians. Westboro Baptist Church? 40.
Does Westboro Baptist get 1 / 6,175,000th the media coverage? Nope - because people like to amplify and repeat the things that the worst / most extreme people say. And that happens regardless of political affiliation. (Come on - how many Trump supporters are *actually* neo-nazis?)
My Win 7 laptop suspends and resumes great. It hibernates great too... 2 out of 3 times. Those other times it bluescreens when it tries to resume.
Soooo... yeah, kinda hard for me to get behind this gripe.
Is there a speculum-maker in your neighborhood?
No? How about someone with a 3d printer?
It's not just about affording things, it's about availability. Because, you know, there's this thing where *some* aspects of women's health are illegal now?
Hey, at least most of the buzzwords can't get trademarked or patented, so we can feel free to apply the dynamic and scalable application envyronment moniker to our open source SOLUTIONS without being sued... er... litigated against.
Lots of people *want* to smoke marijuana, but that hasn't stopped it from being illegal in most of the world. Almost as many people smoke marijuana as use the internet (according to some survey I can't remember the location of, maybe smokedot or cannabisnews), so one could say that as many people use and *like* P2P apps as use and *like* marijuana, but that hasn't changed the laws yet.

I don't know if I'm the only person who noticed this, but these screenshot images are REALLY poorly compressed; doing a side-by-side comparison is pointless if all you see are JPEG Jaggies.
The CCLE (CEnter for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics) has a good article about this, and ihas prepared a 50 page report about this.

My big gripe with standard LCD displays is the complete inability to truly display black. This leads to a pretty crummy contrast ratio relative to conventional displays and good plasma displas. LCDs are getting better, but OLED might just be what we need.
The article desribes it as self-illimunating, though, so I don't see why it can't display true-black, since there's no backlight, but for a technical article, it sure is weak on the details.
A lot of people are suggesting this guy carry a gun. Not all countries allow this, and he specifically said he's from LONDON. England isn't exactly too keen on its citizens carrying firearms around. But oh, silly me, I forgot. There are no countries other than the US. ALL HAIL BUSH!
Ok, so if some employee at microsoft who wrote some large chunk of the NTFS.SYS filesystem driver decided to release the code he wrote under the GPL, it *still* wouldn't be valid.
If you manage to get balls through windows, you should seek medical attention. The bleedint that results can be life threatening.

No, it doesn't. I've used on non-via hardware. Where did you get the idea that it requires their hardware?

This makes the assumption that the GPL license originally given for the original code is actually valid. The common point that people make is that Justin Frankel wrote the code while working for AOL, and depending on his contract with AOL, code he writes while working for them (or while in the office?) may be owned by AOL, meaning the license he put on the code may not be valid. Like someone pointed out earlier, if I stuck a GPL COPYING file in with the Windows 2000 source code, it wouldn't suddenly become legit. So if AOL didn't "authorize" the release of the program, the source code for waste is just as 'leaked' as the win2k source code.
Will this help with both 32 bit and 64 bit desktop platforms? It seems that in the future there won't be much distiction between the current server machines and desktops...

I'd be more into this gripe if my Windows 7 laptop didn't bluescreen 1 out of every 3 or so times it tries to resume from hibernation.

I think it's funny that this gets slashdot front page coverage, but when I submitted a story ~ 1 year ago about Miguel De Icaza's interview on Dot Net Rocks, it was rejected, even though it was right arounf the 1.0 release of MONO, and it may well have been his first 'radio' interview. http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showID=76

Gee, this seems somewhat familiar... Do you suppose that VIA also 'revoked' the license? Heh.
Well, you could call it an average slashdot-reader's girlfriend...
What's it like? Well, they could tell us... but they'd have to kill us.
The question is, does this release fix the "DAMN this game is IMPOSSIBLE!!" bug, or the "Holy crap, I keep dying for no reason." Bug?
One Time Pad is uncrackable... but the "key" is the same size as all the data you'll ever want to send... but DAMN it works. =]
