I know the geek doesn't take it well when one of his own gets more than a slap on the wrist. But arguments like this are ridiculous.
Court documents state that his attacks affected Harvard University and MIT among others, and involved hijacking emails, blocking traffic to websites and the theft of credit card details.
Evidence shown to the court included orders for champagne and shop vouchers.
[The court] confiscated his PC and ordered him to handover ($6,588 US) worth of property obtained through his crimes.
Kivimaki was also accused of being involved in a money laundering scheme involving the virtual currency Bitcoin, which he was said to have used to fund a trip to Mexico.
The security blogger Brian Krebs had previously linked Kivimaki to a notorious hacking group called Lizard Squad, which was involved in a separate, later series of attacks on Sony and Microsoft.
However, Lizard Squad's activities were not mentioned in the court documents.
Probably even simpler: There are more ads specifically targeting women (shoes, makeup, etc) than for men making their ad pool larger and thus automatically diminishing the opportunity for ads for of high paying google to be shown.

Assange's legal team says that Assange's letter has been mischaracterized, and that it is in fact not a request for asylum per se; instead, they assert, the letter merely expresses Assange's "willingness 'to be hosted in France if and only if an initiative was taken by the competent authorities.'"
"Hosted?"
How gracious of Assange to say he would willing to trade his Ecuadorian broom closet for a rent-free garden flat in Paris, if France would be kind enough to send him an engraved invitation.
There are two particularly flavorful Yiddish words that come to mind here, "chutzpah" being one of them.
''I did mean the part about having trouble with girls,'' he said.
''It is true that people - I have fallen in love with people in the lab and people in the lab have fallen in love with me and it's very disruptive to the science because it's terribly important that in a lab people are on a level playing field.
''I found that these emotional entanglements made life very difficult.
''I'm really, really sorry I caused any offence, that's awful. I certainly didn't mean that. I just meant to be honest, actually.''
Tim Hunt's version of events changes a little even before a friendly interviewer.
His brief remarks contained 39 words that have subsequently come to haunt him.
'''Let me tell you about my trouble with girls. Three things happen when they are in the lab. You fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them, they cry,'' he told delegates.
''I stood up and went mad,'' he admits. '' I was very nervous and a bit confused but, yes, I made those remarks --- which were inexcusable --- but I made them in a totally jocular, ironic way. There was some polite applause and that was it, I thought. I thought everything was OK. No one accused me of being a sexist pig.''
[Hunt's wife] clutches her head as Hunt talks. ''It was an unbelievably stupid thing to say,'' she says. ''You can see why it could be taken as offensive if you didn't know Tim. But really it was just part of his upbringing. He went to a single-sex school in the 1960s. Nevertheless he is not sexist. I am a feminist, and I would not have put up with him if he were sexist.''
The next morning, as he headed for Seoul airport, Hunt...recorded a clumsily worded phone message [for "Today.''] ''It was a mistake to do that as well. It just sounded wrong.''
The audience at the conference was expected to be about 40% Asian. "If you don't know Tim..." as well as his wife? No in Seoul could be reasonably be expected to know him that well. No one in the audience for Radio 4.

Blum is a Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Poisoner's Handbook, a page-turning introduction to the coming-of-age of modern forensic science.
All Tim Hunt was asked to do was to stay on message and not step out on the stage wearing one of Matt Taylor's lingerie print tee shirts.
It wasn't a single reporter who did him in but hundreds broadcasting to a global audience. The morning-after apology for something you said that blew up in your face never comes across as entirely convincing.
Hunt hasn't seen the inside of lab in years, but he remained a powerful voice inside the top-tier committees which award research grants and fellowships --- and that had many women crying foul.
The conservative media take on the Supreme Court is that it has become "technocratic."
Meaning it has become aligned with the dominant forces of the 21st Century economy. Hollywood in entertainment, Silicon Valley in tech, Amazon in retailing, and so on.
Conservatives need such an explanation for why the wheels have fallen off their little red wagon.
After a momentous week, same-sex couples can now marry in all 50 states, the Confederate flag's historic hold on the political institutions of the Deep South is fraying by the hour and Obamacare, after defying another attempt to dismantle it, is now reaffirmed as the law of the land.
What about low income boys Everyone deserves equal opportunity, right?
The lead sponsor of this program is the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT).
Because boys get more informal opportunities for computing experience outside of school, this lack of formal computing education especially affects girls and many youth of color.
That doesn't exclude others from sponsoring similar programs for low income boys.
Like this is going to get you modded down on Slashdot.
The better question to ask is "Who on Faceback gives a damn about Slashdot --- or even knows that it exists?"
The problem isn't unique to the geek forums: almost no one on the net makes the effort to open channels of communication with those outside their own group.
I see we now have a balloon, a stained glass window icon and the real-life Microsoft logo appearing in-line with the headline. Thankfully without obscuring the text. This time.
This looks to me like an incentive to sell your books in serialized weekly installments much as Dickens and Dumas did. The end result is a marathon run --- the 800 page novel --- not a casual summer read.
The co-founder and CEO of SOLS, a startup that manufactures custom 3-D printed orthotic insoles using scans of customers' feet, Kegan Schouwenburg is frustrated that consumer 3-D printing's most popular application is turning Internet memes into printed models. For years, items -- from bobble heads to phone cases -- have been 3-D printed primarily because the technology itself is headline grabbing. As Schouwenburg points out, this isn't the case with most manufacturing technologies. ''Nobody is going around saying, ''this is so cool because it was injection molded,'' she says. ''They're saying ''this is a great product because it's better and improves my life in some way.''''
The view from a height from someone with access to commercial/industrial grade tech and design tools.
The first problem I have with a 3D printer in the home is that I am asthmatic.

There was a time when people didn't need passports to travel between nations. They were only introduced in the 1840's and only became popular after the American Civil War.
International travel before the invention of the railroad and the steamboat was not something to be contemplated lightly. It was an expensive, time-consuming and dangerous business.
Legal requirements are not the same thing as practical necessities.
Even when passports were not usually required, Americans requested U.S. passports. Records of the Department of State show that 130,360 passports were issued between 1810 and 1873, and that 369,844 passports were issued between 1877 and 1909. Some of those passports were family passports or group passports. A passport application could cover, variously, a wife, a child, or children, one or more servants, or a woman traveling under the protection of a man. The passport would be issued to the man. Similarly, a passport application could cover a child traveling with his or her mother. The passport would be issued to the mother. The number of Americans who traveled without passports is unknown.
You are over-looking class distinctions which your great-grandparents could not. Not there haven't always been people you would never be able to speak to without very careful preparation.
Emily Post's etiquette books went far beyond those of her predecessors. They read like short-story collections with recurring characters, the Toploftys, the Eminents, the Richan Vulgars, the Gildings and the Kindharts.

Not many have been willing to have Freenet traffic resident on their systems or in transit through their networks. That the files are encrypted or fragmented doesn't seem to matter very much.
The geek loves complication and conspiracy for its own sake. He will hang around with the drug lords and the porn kings because he thinks it makes him look cool --- and no force on earth can keep his big mouth shut online or off.

The Royal Society, where Hunt is a fellow, issued a short statement entitled ''Science needs women.'' In it, it states that ''in order to achieve everything that it can, science needs to make the best use of the research capabilities of the entire population,'' and that it wanted to distance itself from Hunt's remarks. University College London, where Hunt had an honorary faculty position, announced his resignation by stating that ''UCL was the first university in England to admit women students on equal terms to men, and the university believes that this outcome [the resignation] is compatible with our commitment to gender equality.'' The American Association for the Advancement of Science pulled Hunt from a planned webinar in which he was scheduled to offer advice on ''persevering in science.''

Scientist Tim Hunt responds to criticism of 'girls in labs' comments
