Still sounds like they're excluding data to make their hypothesis true. "Using the internet to predict who will win is great, unless the candidate is popular on the internet."
For some reason, he wanted a NSFW tag on an article that is, well, NSFW. You can write articles about child porn (and even have pictures that are disturbing) without running afoul of NSFW guidelines. Disturbing is a very vague word. NSFW is not.
Dictionary.com defines conservatism as "Disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change." Wikipedia defines it as a "term used to describe political philosophies that favor tradition and gradual change, where tradition refers to religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs." Using either of those (closely related) definitions, no, they are FAR from the same.
I think, from now on, you should refer to these people as "Small-government fiscal conservatives", lest your arbitrary definition get confused with the common vernacular.
I don't know exactly how you're defining "conservative" and "Republican", but this latest batch of canidates shows a pretty clear trend that the Republicans are more to the "Right" than the Democrats. I don't think I need to go digging up much more information to prove my point. Suffice to say, as close as they are at times, the Democrats and Republicans are NOT the same in terms of conservatism.
I've lived in Michigan all my life, and traveled all over the state, and never once have I heard it called "The Wolverine State" by anyone who lives here. Only by people outside the state who like being pretentious about what they call things.
In that case, "men and women" is a single article. If we use that interpretation, it still makes no sense, as "IT" and "technical fields" are one article, and them, together, have not been around for 2000 years.
I don't fail at reading comprehension at all, buddy. He said
If 2000 years of history are not enough to prove that women simply have very little interest in technical fields and IT...
Please note the word "And" in between "technical fields" and "IT". You'll note, if you understand the meaning of the word "and", that it groups the two things together, and thus implies that IT has been around for 2000 years. The way the word "and" works, you should be able to remove either part it refers to and have the sentence still make sense. I would hope they had taught you this in grade school, but the education system of the USA being what it is...
I understand completely what he meant to say, but that's not what he said.
Actually, their problems seem to be based on Carly Fiorina's face. I mean, yeesh. I click on the "Michigan" link in the summary, and I just get assaulted.
...If 2000 years of history are not enough to prove that women simply have very little interest in... IT
From Wikipedia (emphasis again, mine):
Information Technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware."
I, for some reason, don't think that IT and computers have been around for 2000 years. Also nevermind the fact that it's only in the last few hundred years that we even have women holding jobs regularly. Or that the modern definition of "job" even existed for most of the human population. I can't help but think you're a "concern troll", and that you and the GP are one and the same.
On the contrary, some of that information is completely irrelevant to someone in the USA. While I agree that cultural knowledge is important, it should by no means be testing me on things that I have never encountered before in my life. I was asked pieces of Russian History, which, to someone who is 21 years of age, is not a part of the culture. It is not taught in schools, it is never discussed (many people in the US feel we need to just forget about the Cold War), so why, exactly, does not knowing it mean I have a lower IQ? It's like asking a Japanese person about Presidents of the United States. It makes sense at a cursory glance - Japan and the US are close, so they should know, right? But, if you actually think about it (unlike the people who designed this test, clearly), you would realize that only those with special interests would have such knowledge, and thus it is inappropriate for a general IQ test.
Ah yes, the "legitimate" grievances of Al-Qaeda, such as modernism destroying their culture. So said bin Laden wearing a Rolex, on a Modern Kidney Dialysis machine, using modern Video Cameras, distributing them to Modern television stations and the internet.
You don't need it explained. You speak English well and have access to the internet, so I have a feeling you're probably living in a culture that these very morals are espoused. Cultural agreements and identities are almost never based upon logic and reason - only upon what makes people uncomfortable and what's always worked.
If you really want to know, it's because the US has fairly strong Puritan Christian roots, in which sinful sex (being a root of pleasure, and thus an outlet for the Devil slash Evil slash Getting Along with Infidels), is looked down upon far more than violence and hatred. And besides, you can't have a good war or burn heretics if your populace abhors violence. To keep those cultural traditions going, we can't change now, right?
Not to say I don't agree with you, but you need to look around and realize that this is hardly just a "Google/Youtube problem". It's a "Western Civilization" problem (excluding a decent amount of Europe, before I get flayed alive).
Neither am I an expert, but my knowledge of clearinghouses says that they need to do things like move checks, money transfers, and whatnot. I don't think just "storing information" qualifies, unfortunately.
which does unfortunately mean it lacks some features of Foxit, Evince, and others, but I find that I'm usually only interested in reading documents anyway and for that, Sumatra is excellent.
Come on, man, you complain that Foxit makes you pay for the full feature-set, but you then offer an alternative that has less by default? Sumatra is a great reader, but I really can't see how it annoyed you that you had to pay (oh shit, money) for features in Foxit that you apparently don't even need.
Unified, Trustable source for updates on Windows? Are you kidding me? I hate to sound like a troll, but you've been living in a very small world if you think the logistics of that are even remotely possible in even the next 5 years. Windows has orders of magnitude more software written and used every day than Linux, and even Linux package managers have their share of problems.
And, strangely enough, most Windows users aren't WoW players. Makes me wonder why you would think that, frankly. In fact, most Windows users aren't even gamers beyond Solitaire. Seems odd then, that they don't spend time and energy trying to install something on their computer that's used by less than 5% of users, to a system that requires new paradigms and won't run the software in the way they're used to. But no, it must be WoW.

Wow, they have a 100% prediction since 2000! It's almost like there were only 2 elections that they've guessed right! We can totally trust these guys.
But smoking is legal.

The author of your linked article clearly has no idea what he's talking about. He called Michigan the "Wolverine State". Nobody calls it that. Nobody.

I totally agree. Since EEE PCs and iPhones are now small enough to fit in the kitchen, we may be seeing a change in this trend.

Now, I just got this from a quick google search, but it looks like it's already out.
If so, I may just have reason to try Linux again.
Why don't you have a seat over there.
