It's been said that real equality will be achieved when a female schmuck moves up the corporate ladder as fast as her male colleagues...and makes the same sexist decisions that sell like gangbusters.
Y'know, when Ms. Movie Executive says to her assistants, "Why don't we have her take her top off in this shot. It's going too slow." Then women will have reached parity with men.
Otherwise all this blather about gaming equality is as useless as forcing boys to play with barbie dolls.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (www.uspto.gov) is a great place to learn about technology, or at least the attempt to own it, from 1790 to today!
I also like to read the EPA website (www.epa.gov) once in a while to my kids.
I have a dual Pentium II 266, a dual Alpha 264DP, and an Alpha 164LX -- all in service. The 264DP is my main server, the 164LX does firewall / NAT duty so I can disobey the cable company, and the Intel box is my main terminal.
I got the 264DP cheap on eBay. I used to use one of these in my previous job at MIT Lincoln Lab. We used this box running Linux 2.2.18 to set a world record for TCP/IP bandwidth-distance product (All-optical link of 1 Gb/s sustained between two workstations, one in Boston and the other in Washington DC). Our competitors, all running FreeBSD came in a few months later.
Right on. Who said that Americans DESERVED a high-paying job? You should be glad you aren't dead yet. Instead, a "$2 sand niggah" took your job while you were complaining.
If you want a job that can't be outsourced, why don't you idiots become doctors, plumbers, or burger flippers.
As a still-employed natural-born American and an ethnic "sand niggah" (Indian), let me just say: Remember, when you're pumping my gas, SMILE!

Actually, I know some people at a biotech startup in Bangalore. The biochemistry tradition in India is actually older than CS/EE, and isn't too bad.
So I guess you'll see competition on that front, too.
(or boyfriends)..while they're sleeping or during sex.
Then whenever some guy scans her, a webpage comes up describing his/her likes and dislikes, family photos, favorite head games, etc.
Or your definition of an operating system.
You know, almost every food sells more with cheese on it (except root beer).
And everything sells better with a girl on it.
I'm going to start renting cheese-covered girls to auto shows.

I misread it. I thought it said "Jan Mailed For Smelling Sodchips", and I was disappointed.
Why isn't there anything about three-legged races?
Damn you, Bill Frist and your Frist Posts!

Man, I love those things. I have to thank the guys who invented them.
Rockets are too complex. I mean, you have to be a rocket scientist to understand them.
I think a better way to reach space is to have a catapult which launches a catapult which launches a catapult which launches...a shark.
You make many good points. I'm going to stop using computers and become a fisherman.
**My** galaxy is an anomaly? Wow, I feel so special!
Milky Way kickin' it old-star-school style! Milky Way in da house!

That's where the programmers are. Think of it as a donation to a VERY large university.
