Dictionary.com
--Usage note Traditionally, the masculine singular pronouns he1, his, and him have been used generically to refer to indefinite pronouns like anyone, everyone, and someone (Everyone who agrees should raise his right hand) and to singular nouns that can be applied to either sex (painter, parent, person, teacher, writer, etc.): Every writer knows that his first book is not likely to be a bestseller. This generic use is often criticized as sexist, although many speakers and writers continue the practice.
.. you know. In cultural studies (and on a level of common sense), we say that it's not really important what the meaning of the word is literally, or how ever you take it to be. We'd rather like to talk about the meaning of that word in contextual maps; focusing on how people convey meaning when speaking to one another. Take for example, people from two different dialects trying to communicate for the first time, can be quite confusing when the meaning of the exact same word, in the exact same language has been changed completely.
So it's one god damn word, the most basic pronoun in the English language, and I don't know about you, when I learned it, 20 some years ago, they told me it described someone with a penis.
It's a pronoun to describe a male, that's how people understand it. If you disagree I'd advise you to go to a local strip club or red light, and refer to the 'working woman' by the male pronoun all night. Call her 'he'. Sometimes you might get lucky, but most of the time that should settle things.;)
I full heartedly agree. I'm of the opinion that most of our culture is socially constructed, as specially in many areas of gender. Gender roles change continuously, historically proven time after time. Assuming that everyone on here is male is false by fact. One's trying to defend opinions that it's 'safe' to assume such on this forum only look to exacerbate the problem.
Yes, we know the heavy majority of readers here are male, byproduct of the culture imho.
By your reasoning, no change of widespread bigotry should ever happen. If a group is being discriminated against because 95% of the population is racist, obviously they should expect that behaviour and stop complaining about it. You know, rather than trying to solve the problem.
Ok, the analogy is a little extreme, in fact, it's a bit off. We're not denying anyone rights, and this certainly can't be called hate speech or discrimination. She was also modded up, indicating that her comments were well received. It was an honest mistake to begin with, the only problem was denying it ever was a mistake. It just breeds a 'subtle' stench of gender exclusivity that I don't think the Slashdot community really needs, it probably comes from their hollow egos being shattered by a girl;). Honestly, you're just discouraging minorities to participate by not acknowledging their existence, or by denigrating their identity. Who knew you needed a sex-change to post on Slashdot! News for Egocentric White Male Nerds, Stuff that Matters... (to them).
On topic: She's made a phenomenal point, at the end of the day, you just have to put food on the table for your family, it doesn't matter where you are in the world, rights mean nothing if your country doesn't have the means to support them. In Corporate America sure, there's money, opportunity, but competition is cutthroat, and that's likely just a symptom of the system.
*nods* I just looked in to it, and yeah, the technology does seem interesting, harnesses a p2p system, sounds a lot like bittorrent, the more people watching something the easier it gets to you. In anycase, it's a step in the right direction. The idea though if it's monopolistic and exclusive in practice it'll just drive piracy rates higher. Open and accessable, now you're competeing!
Oh, yeah, of course! Yeah sorry about that. I just started on some crazy rant about the industry because the more I was thinking about what you said, the more I was getting angry at the industry... I think yeah I prefer avi my self, and would get a lot more value out of it without DRM... no one wants crippled media, as specially if you're paying for it!
I'll agree with you on one point. That they still don't understand the internet. But no one wants it on television, and no one cares if it's in AVI or MPEG. I'm going to explain to you the nature of how this entire industry actually is right now. (Please be warned, this is a very biased opinion of what I think about the media industry, and is inspired by cultural theorists Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno
(I'm going to say 'They' alot.. so lets try and define 'They' "The Media, specifically referring to the Media Industry; more specifically, traditional forms of media who feel at risk by new mediums (ie internet), such as The Music Industry, The Television Industry and The Movie Industry)
It's a multi-faceted problem, which I'd really only boil down to two.
The first problem, which they don't really seem to understand, is how choice works on the internet.
The second problem is the culture of excessive demand for their media, and the medium in which it translates most effectively and efficiently. (Which, also, they don't understand).
I'm a 22 yo computer science student, so I'm going to be making some assumptions that really only speak for the majority of my demographic on the internet. (we're the leaders of the future, non?), but I think it speaks volumes on how this industry has just become way out of touch, and are trying really hard to either do some catch up or screw it all up.
1) Ok first problem is choice. Ahh.. the beginning of the information age.. I can still remember the excitement every time I heard my 28.8 modem on my intel 486. communicate to my very first ISP. I remember just reading, reading and reading. I remember reading so much, I don't think I picked up a novel for a couple years when I first got in bed with an ISP. There was already so much to figure out, so much to share, so much to communicate, so much to learn and never enough time to take it all in. Most importantly though was that the real value of it all wasn't in anything you could find anywhere else, and I say it was choice, real choice for that matter. The previous model of society that we participated in, was based on limited social graphs coupled with well established, yet strict forms of mediums, for the information to distribute, controlled partly by demand and partly by profits. So you were limited with what you were presented, and how easy it was to get at it.
Now we have a medium where the demand is fully transparent, and at best it favors accessibility. Heck the first relevant tool on the internet was a search engine! How else to get at all the information? And best of all this medium is one in which you can participate in, and to crystallize that, it's universal particpation; there's no '2 or 3 or 4 'competing' networks, there's 'one' internet! Thats value! So now the traditional industry is kind of SOL on this medium, because their current model depended almost strictly on playing role of both producing the content and trying to tell the consumer what's good. Good shows? Prime time. Good stories? Front page. Good music? Top 40. These industries really controlled the medium in which media was distributed, but in contrast likes to claim that they just delivered what we wanted. Fine, all well and dandy, I'm sure they do their best with Neilson ratings, best sellers lists, charts, etc, and try to make inferences based on that information. They made a lot of money doing it. Probably through high demand and limited choice. But real choice isn't the crap they make for prime time, that stuffs for mass consumption. We finally have a medium where we can truly choose what we want out if it because the real value in it is based on how we participate. Ah.. Choice! Good to know we don't have to be a slave to prime time. Is it really a surprise that these industries are loosing money in their traditional form? It's not piracy that they're losing money to, lets get that s
this would be genius. Now I have to agree, any sort of major move to change interface in web browsing would require the current browser to be nearly bug free. Although consider this; from what I've been experiencing in the IT Business world of things, entire businesses are beginning to run nearly strictly on web interfaces. The company I work for (Telus) major telecom in Canada, is as we speak, finishing a MAJOR migration to a strictly web 2.0 interface for all their interfacing of Central Office switches, and port assignments (internet and phone).
Imagine what kind of stir this would be in the operating system market, if you could run your business strictly on this web interface, that's incredibly sleek looking, and incredibly stream lined. Personally, I think it's a great idea, I'll be honest it's 2007 and I'm sick of clicking the back button.
States and countries are banning using cell phones in cars left, right and centre and Microsoft, hot on the heels of the latest trends as always, decides the best place to put a PC is right on the dashboard.
Call me crazy, but it seems that on board computers in vehicles these days are becoming quite practical. Weather it's hooked up to camera's for when you back up, or gps, it just seems that a logical step is to provide digital information to the driver while on the road. Now sure we can all laugh about how this gives new meaning to 'crashing' with Windows, but hey lets be realistic here; If this is seriously where the vehicle market is headed, then I'd definitely be trying to create the operating system in which these computers are going to be used for whatever purpose they serve for the driver. Microsoft hasn't had a good place to expand their monop.. err I mean 'business' in years. They missed out on the search tech, they're losing ground in the online application market.
It sounds like going back to basics for M$, and I'd probably be doing the same thing if I were in their position, imagine, all cars come with your companies operating system on it. They sell a car, you cash in on the operating system that comes with the car. Similar to how Microsoft has been operating their monopoly on PCs for years, it's a great place to expand their 'business'.
OMG, before signing up, I usually take a quick scan at the privacy policy, and I'm usually disgusted by the legal terminology that's used to try and explain to someone how their privacy is being protected.

I've been told that at some universities, such as Waterloo (Ontario Canada),they start their students with Scheme as the introduction language for Computer Science. Although definatly not a great standard for learning other languages that would be helpful in Application Development, after exploring the language for quite sometime now, I find it really pushes you to think in creative ways, (recursive functionality is big in Scheme), that are important in learning how to make clean code.
I've heard proponents at Waterloo describe the transition between Scheme and other languages like java and c++ seemless, and you end up with better programmers.. I don't know if I'd go that far, in Scheme you don't have to worry about typechecks, you're dealing with lists of data all the time.
I don't know really, I just though I'd throw that out there.
I couldn't believe what ridiculous rhetoric I just read on that website. Trying to compare Jesus to Mohamed and push the idea that somehow one is better than the other isn't just childish, but proliferates the hatred between both religions.
I would make the argument, that there are dangerous views on both sides of the fence here, and it doesn't come down to which theological figure was more humble for crying out loud. Look at Pat Robertson for instance, those guys ideoligies rhetoric, in my opinion, could be considered equaly if not more dangerous than that of an extremist muslim. What it comes down to in my mind is the demographics, and geopolitical disparities of both religions. Considering a large number of Christians live in the rich western world, and in contrast a majority of Muslims live in the impoverished, oppressed, western marginalized middle east, wouldn't you say it's fair to believe that if the tables where turned, it would be Christians martyring in the name of Jesus Christ?
*nods* damn bandwagon console junkies. In the end it's value that counts, what you're getting for your money. Thats what I find interesting about the console market, it's all about building hype to make your console sucessful. The more people that have your console, the 'better' the console is by nature of the game market.
People post here and bicker about which console looks nicer, or which one will be faster, when in reality, none of that really matters, what matters in the end is how many people have the same console as you. The more people on the console, the more likely that console have more games, (and more games of quality) produced for it, and it's the games that make the system, not the system it self. So why go out and dish out a flipping amount of money on the 'latest' thing, why not wait a while, see which console's done best, it's not like these games are going to get up on two feet and walk away from you if you don't buy them 'now'!.
Funny how on the Colbert Report tonight, education was the focus of their program. They flashed back to the interview they had with John Stossel where he reported on how the Europeans "cleaned the clocks" of American children on standardized tests. Can this plagarism explosion be apart of what's happening in public schools of America? Now that we have the most comprehensive and accessible encyclopedia in the world Wikipedia, I know of no University Student who hasn't used the 'Copy Paste' strategy in helping out with their papers.
Talking as a 3rd year Computer Science major right now, I can't think of much CS work that could be 'outsourced'. Although I have to admit, I currently attend a small liberal arts university in Canada, my course load this semester consists of the following: Software Engineering, Robotics, Principles of Programming Languages, Computer Ethics (great class), Advanced Algorithms.
Honestly, there's no way you're going to learn Scheme for example, and pass your final in programming languages by outsourcing your homework to someone else, you simple won't pass. And for the rest of the courses in CS, very few actually have 'outsourcable' homework, alot of it depends on your understanding of the material. IMHO, if all your homework is 'outsourcable' than your CS degree might as well be done at Devry.
