Barring heart attack or buses, you need to wake up, because we're *all* going to live to 82, probably 92. And most of us will still be in good health in our 80s.
Rubbish. A person reaching age 82 in good health has something like ten years on average of life expectancy. If you're looking death in the eye, ten years is a looooong time.
Frankly, the problem is not the interface - people at best don't care and in some cases appreciate an interface that looks like it has a bit of history. What you guys need to tackle is the hard part - the stories. Stop posting crap designed to get people trolling (women in tech stories, I'm looking at you). Stop posting crap that ran on mainstream media three days ago. Stop posting crap you think your advertisers want to be associated with. Stop writing headlines that are completely at variance with the article( and read the damned article before posting). Do this and you will slowly but surely build an audience that will treat/. like their daily newspaper, and keep coming back - and then you will have an audience worth advertising to.
Hey! The Economist is a weekly newspaper, thank you. Newspaper do not have to be printed on massive sheets of paper, at least since we did away with the tax on newsprint pages.
Yeah, crying misandry and then accusing women as a group of being liars is probably not the most effective argument I've ever heard. I'm astonished that women would prefer not to work with people like you.
There are plenty of young women working on the rigs. They just tend to do less stupid things. Also, many of these jobs employ certain demographic segments which women are a lot less likely to occupy.
The issue is it starts a lot earlier than the tech scene really has the ability to influence. By the time you've learnt to stop wetting yourself in bed you're already surrounded by toys that teach you that different genders have different roles and enjoy different things. By the time you're old enough to enjoy coding you've already internalised gender roles. This all happens way before the tech "scene", whatever that means, can reach you.
Probably because the problem is not actually women not being interested, it's women being actively discouraged by an unpleasant misogynistic culture which grinds them down every step of the way. But saying that out loud would imply that we're doing something wrong, whereas this way we can just pretend that all we need to do is make things a bit fluffier.
In this case it's not the same management. You are right though, the fiduciary duty point is a good one. The main objection is that management have goals set by their board on a strategic level, and public ownership skews that to the short term. But serious performance differences in the same management between private and public ownership are signs of a problem.
So what? Anyone with a BMI over 30 with a healthy level of body fat knows far more about their health than the people that obesity campaigns need to target.
This should have been done by the previous management. Dell is running a company whose business is in serious decline where no-one really knwos where the market will be in five to ten years time. Doing anything else would be commercial suicide.
The use of literally as an intensifier has been documented since the 17th century. It is literally time to get over it. Congratulations, you're a pedant. Well done. Take a few seconds to pat yourself on the back.
They are not darn close, at least the spreadsheet certainly isn't. I use both, extensively (my day job is driving spreadsheets), and have done quite complex projects in each. However Office, for all its crazy foibles, is much more productive and predictable. No sales whispering here; I've run Linux since 2001 and used OOo for years before I had Office imposed on me at work.

Is that more or less than a jiggafuckbeta?
If you think anyone at /. has read a comment in years, I have news for ya.
What, and those things would have been impossible without letting women contribute?
Enjoy your copy-pasted AP bulletins.

Wow, that's sad.

Oh.

Men spent thirty thousand years constructing a society built on the repression of women. That's what happened to equality.

Or you could, you know, grow the hell up.
Even when every damned asshat in the industry makes the same lazy assumptions you do?

Remoteness. Won't fly. Godaddy is the one to go after.
On this occasion. The question, though, is what is the joint distribution of repair times and parts costs?
