    oh really, give me your name, and address and we can talk about it. We'll see whose the pussy and who isn't. By the way when we meet you can call my Lt. Colonel, cause ROTC paid my way through school and that's the rank I achieved in Army before I was through with my service to the country. So go fuck yourself. I just had my house searched by 4 ATF agents a month ago because I case my own ammo. So excuse me for being pissed. And I run a Athlon system with Windows XP, not an Apple

    actually in English lit, you will find out that it is appropriate to refer to something that most certainly has a sex, but you don't know what it will be, as he. Saying he/she is strictly out of the question.

    once again you made it a case that no females can do anything instead of actually reading the post and seeing that the question was not weather a female could do it, but why she should get preferential treatment. >In high school, I scored in the top percentile >of mechanically inclined people in the USA on >tests. Just out of curiousity what were those tests? I don't remember taking the "Mechanically Inclined People in the USA" Test when I was in high school. I took the PSAT, SAT, PLAN, ACT, NASFAB and that's it. let me know what you took and I'll photograph my scores in all of these tests and photograph my old roommates scores. and you can see how she got a 10,000$ a year scholarship when we were in college and I got a 4000$ a year scholarship. And when you see how I am ussually 5 percentile higher than her, or the difference between her 1250 on the SAT and my 1400. Then we can discuss how women are treated unfairly.

    Moron, he just said this would pruposefully limit professional access, did you even read what he said. They don't want professionals getting it from the library,they want you to pay for it, since you'll then use their information to make money for yourself.

  9. you made my point, thank you on Democracy in the Dark? · · Score: 1

    your making my point, no one would want the whole database or to own it, why you don't need encyclopedias because you can go to the library, but then how would these companies make money, they have to continually pay into overhead such as bandwidth usage and all the daily database work. Unlike a book that has an initial printing cost but then ceases to cost the company anything. Therefor it would be detrimental to the company to supply service to libraries.

    I knew you idiots would make the purchasing books argument and I would have to point out the significant difference. What is the annoyance of getting out a book from the library. having to take it back, or if your like me you like owning books, but case law is not books, it's not something your going to keep around for entertaining reading. And besides you can print your case law out and take it home. Now, if the library wants to be charged for each individual person that uses their database, then so be it. Besides this is America, and if they don't want to give access to it to libraries than why don't all the libraries of a state start their own database, I am sure the Gov has to keep track of this stuff in a database anyhow, they could just do it themselves and make it public. Or you yourself could get all of the data and sell it to libraries if you like.

  16. BUY, = 1 License on Democracy in the Dark? · · Score: 1

    She wanted a company with probably huge overhead, to sell a public library a license that would allow them to make their database open to the public. Why would I as a consumer ever pay for their service if the library had it, therefor they just lost my money, and all the other people that would go to the library use the service and not have ot pay for it. And since this is a service that is of specific purpose, like reference materials, they could stand to lose a lot of money. She could just get the records in the same place these companies do.

    I fear for the future of the world now. I realise this is just for a tv show, but you must understand it's happening everywhere now. Colleges being the worse, right now my wife and I are trying to get pregnant, and I am praying for a daughter, because I fear the world a white male from America would face, he would be passed over on scholarships for people with lower scores than him, passed over on jobs for people with less schooling or experience, all because he is a white male. Why is this fair, prejudice is prejudice, no matter how you do it. If you prejudice in favor of one group, it is still just that. I want to raise my children in a world blind to color and gender, instead of a world that hates them for coming from an upper class family and being of the majority.

    I took several women's study courses in college, where I got to enjoy "The Vagina Monologues", "The Feminine Mystique",and countless other books that explained to me how I am emotionless, set on sex, work and power. But you wouldn't call those books sexist. I didn't say I wouldn't hire women, we have 2 Network Engineer females here right now. I hire by experience and aptitude, not by sex, color, or anything else, hell if you showed me a dog that could program a router and had some experience in internet security, he would be on our team, if he wore a tie to the interview.

    but that's the point, they don't even have to be wealthy. They are given half or full scholarships and treated like royalty by the school because the ratio is 40 to 1, and I could see it being societal if the were just dropping out, but the fact is that they just don't drop out, they drop because their failing out. Girls I know pick schools by locations and how much fun they're going to have there, guys that want to be engineers, just look at the school, and its curiculum I went to school in Flint Michigan when I went to Kettering. No parties really, dreary weather, shitty town. And girls left, I stayed, so after I went through 5 years of B.S. hell and 4 years of grad hell. This is my pay back, my cushy office in my own consulting company. And now the city is pushing for my company to be more diverse. It's pissing me off. It's a free country and I will hire the best person for the job, not the mediocre person that fills out my quota system

    That forced diversity is absurd as taking a white male in Britain and force him to hang out with a French white male. We would never do this because they are both the same color, and so then it's ok that they don't like eachother. Diversity at my company is a crock, and when people talk about why there aren't many female engineers. I can tell you why. my first year of school at kettering, a private engineering school in Michigan, where I got my undergrad B.S. 35% of the girls dropped out before the first semester ended. They had every advantage, garanteed scholarships just for being girls at a engineering school and buy my Junior year, out of the 79 girls that started when i was a freshman 15 were left. and even less were sitting up there with me when I graduated. So I don't know what the reason is. But something happens and it's not all societal.
