    My sister and I were both given Legos when we were young. We were both given dolls too. And it happens that I'm now into computer science, while she's baroque music

    Of course there is not only the opportunies given as a kid but many other factors, but still : the massive diffusion of gender cliché throught society has a strong impact on the distribution of social roles (read : patriarchal society).

    This is not a good thing, as it narrows the spectrum of expression of the whole gene pool.

  12. Re:Constantly Recording on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 1

    How else could we recall so much about Linux, servers, PC upkeep ...

    i do not really agree : i remember the minimum necessary to hack my way to the solution . With time i sometime recall not fundamental stuff but i don't really do it on purpose. Most of the time i have to go thru a conf file to find what i need to change or even thru a few fs to find the conf file !!

    Recalling massive amount of information seems useless when i can just find it or check it somewhere .. either that or i'm just lazy :)-

  13. Re:From the PoliTech Mailing list and comments on The Software Politics Of 2004's Presidential Race · · Score: 1
    Most likely someone on the IT staff at each party knows someone who works at or owns a hosting company and whatever they have as default

    Or maybe not.

    Most likely there is in each party a group of people taking the decision by choosing among a couple of proposals. One chain of decision led to the microsoft solution the other to linux. I'm sure that the one selling the red-hat based solution used the fact that it's oss as a marketing point.

  14. Re:A Good Thing (tm) on German Court Fixes Book Prices On Ebay · · Score: 1

    everyone pays more
    I don't know : my music is cheaper in indie stores, because it does not come with expensive ad campains et al.
    Granted it's not the same music but I think it's a general consensus that the price of records is too high, and this is in a model that includes the no-price-limit & megastore.

  15. Re:A Good Thing (tm) on German Court Fixes Book Prices On Ebay · · Score: 1

    If people demand the products that the small stores are selling, they will continue to buy it
    That's theory. Real life is like this : small shop sells product XYZ, so does Megastore but cheaper. Small shop closes. Megastore discontinues product XYZ because it doesn't sell enough and is therefore more of a cost than a gain. Megastores eventually keep some XYZ variants as an alibi.

    Forcing prices to be abnormally high
    Things have a value. This phrase should be : fixing price so they don't fall abnormally low.

    restricting competition impoverishes everyone to promote the welfare of the few
    That's right, wait until we ship your job to Bangalore, so that the price can fall down a little lower.

  17. A Good Thing (tm) on German Court Fixes Book Prices On Ebay · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In France the price of books is fixed by law, and is allowed only a very small variance (along the lines of 5%, and only for special operations i think). The direct consequence of this is that you can still find small and/or specialized bookshops in almost every part town .

    Now, this is not the case for records. As a direct result there is very few specialized/independant recordshops left since the buying power of them hudge megastores allowed for unrivalled price and almost no independant recordshop survived.
    Consequence : everybody goes dumb from hearing the lame music the megastore sells & promote.
    Moreover the price is not that low either, since they are the only one left and can do as they please.

  18. hi tek militia on the rise on Next Generation Stun Guns? · · Score: 0, Troll

    As the off-shoring of jobs keeps on,
    as the poor dwelve day by day in more misery,

    it comes sadly as no surprise that crowd control devices are getting more and more investments
