We have established that there is a gender imbalance issue in the workplace.
Are you sure of that? What exactly to we mean by a "balanced" gender mix? The same ratio as found in well-qualified programmers world-wide? Or the same ratio as found in the well-qualified applicants? Or the same ration as in CS graduates from appropriate-tier schools? Or the same ratio as found in well-qualified programmers within a reasonable commute?
In my opinion, thats very sexy. 10/10, five stars.
Really? It think of sexy and scientifically-productive as kind of orthogonal qualities. Case in point: Marie Curie was undeniably brilliant, but I wouldn't have much of an urge to sleep with her.
Here's something I've been curious about. I would expect that if there's a between the solar panels and the roof, this would lead the attic to stay a lot cooler in the summer. Because the sun would be mostly heating up the panels and not the roof. Anyone know if that can significantly reduce the temperature of a home's living spaces?
The NSA seems to have its fingers up so many people's hoo-has, that it could easily sort this out. It's amazing what an agency can accomplish when it's not held accountable for ignoring the Constitution. Fucking traitors.
I'm not sure chicken wire will reliably keep out rats. I once had a rat in my basement, and it caused no end of problems for me. The little bastard actually ate through my sump pump's power wire (in addition to other stuff). I found this out when my sump pump well produced a lot of small flies from what I assume was the rat's electrocuted, rotted corpse.
Seriously - don't underestimate the ability for rodents, especially rats, to gnaw through strong metal for no discernible reason.
While they have made some improvements over the clusterfuck that is Windows 8, in most cases they have doubled-down on stupid, keeping the vast majority of bad design decisions that were made with Windows 8. Even bringing back the Start Menu was botched. It still isn't as functional as Windows 7.
And you know what's the frustrating thing for me? I need to buy some KY jelly and hope for the best. My wife is a professional photographer, and she uses Photoshop. I have precisely two viable platforms for that: Windows and OS X. And both Apple and Microsoft are doing their best to drive me to the other.
Alternatively, my recommendation for a long, happy marriage is that you *never* refer to your wife's clitoris (nor she your penis) as either "that pointer thing" or "a nub". Just my $0.02.
I'd think the real secret is to never prefer using a mouse.

She made an important scientific breakthrough.

I'm pretty sure the AC was making a sarcastic, joke post. A person who was being serious wouldn't sign their post with "SJW".
Ah! I didn't realize "SJW" was a thing until I just Googled it. My bag of memes has grown.
Oh please. I was taking a swipe at Dice, not at women.
Who cares about her little science project. Was she sexy?
Have them run for President as the best bush candidate?
Sigh...

Google isn't a monopoly, and search functionality isn't a public utility. Google never promised to have its page rankings work in a particular way.
No, it was delayed until Dice could run a story on women's under-representation in suicide rates.

Auf Deutsch. Seien Sie nicht so unglücklich sein nicht.

Oh no, not by a long shot. You should swing by the Hot Club, I know few on here that stop by there.
I dunno... Providence is such a long drive. It would take me like 45 minutes...

Hey, I thought I was the only Slashdot reader in RI.
Considering the FOIA act does not apply to the White House, I don't know why you are whining.
Because Obama promised an extremely transparent administration. Hiding behind the limitations of FOIA scope is a dick move, considering his promises.
Considering Republicans fought him at every turn - what did you expect.
So you're saying his campaign promises were implicitly predicated on Republicans having only a super-minority in Congress?
Duh! What part of "is being encouraged to give more and more money to the group" gives that away?
Wait... Scientologists are going to Mars???
Hah. In Obama's America, dreamers prey on you.

No problem. I've listened to a lot of Car Talk episodes, and Tommy (RIP) gave me a good appreciation for a proper rant.
No worries. An occasional good rant gets the carbon buildup out of your cylinders.
No. Whooosh!!! :)
