  1. Re:Bullshit. on Fortune.com: Blame Tech Diversity On Culture, Not Pipeline · · Score: 0

    The media is telling every constantly that females are just as capable. Many of the controllers and geeks in movies and TV are women. You're merely posing the question, but if you look into it, "the media" isn't pressuring women to avoid IT at all.

    Your eloquence is breathtaking. But I must point out, you couldn't rebut my statement.

    Yes what and who are you? You're not the target of the comment, you're an AC.

    Swap the sex of the pronouns and it reads with exactly the same amount of worth.

    Heh. Try being a single father of a daughter. I've been asked to bring her into work when I needed to trouble shoot.

  6. Re:OMG! I can SO relate to this. on Downtown Project Suicides Shock High Tech Community · · Score: 1

    I'm curious, why do you give a shit what others think of you if you yourself are comfortable you're a decent person? I ask with all seriousness. I used to feel that way when I was much younger and at some point sat down and examined myself and how I related to others. I came up positive and thereafter didn't really care what others thought. If you're a good person, that's it, end of story. They're rejecting a good person, the onus is on them.

    "time consuming beyond my tolerance" The key. Find and understand that tolerance - and don't fudge for the "well, this time" - and you can deal with your stresses.

    "Life is too short not to do whatever strikes you."

    Exactly this. Telecom for 35+ years and during that time I studied and taught MA, ran a stunt group (great stress relief, lemme tell ya), sculpted, wrote, painted and did other things. Accept that you *do not* need all the bells and whistles you can accumulate and with the of nicest trimmings and you'll be much better prepared to dump the bad business decision.

    That's not strong, it's stubborn. The inability to judge and turn loose of a bad situation isn't strength.

    How pompous.

  11. Re:What's the point ? on Downtown Project Suicides Shock High Tech Community · · Score: -1, Troll

    The suicide's mantra - "Nobody understands my problems." Bullshit. Almost everyone has had dire thoughts and stresses. It's no one's fault suicides can't quit focusing on any solution other than offing themselves.

    "Not everything should revolve around money and achievement." Which is exactly the frame of mind they had that they allowed situations to push themselves into making such stupid decisions.

    Ha! Those were my exact thoughts before I came to the comments section.

  14. Re:Solar Could be 50+% of production, but... on Solar Could Lead In Power Production By 2050 · · Score: 0

    Solar is unrealistic for everyone. There are areas of the country where it is overcast for days or weeks at a time. No central power and they're screwed if they're solar. In the long run a combination of larger central and smaller local nuclear power units is the better scenario.

    You're conflating culture impression/disparity with culture response.

    Not made up. Recent studies show this to be true even for monkeys.

    And if she doesn't feel any need to be an engineer, will you coerce her? If not, do you feel others should coerce people into said positions? For that is indeed what is happening.

    "Gender parity is important." Why? And parity at what? All things? Be specific and provide an argument that is more than opinion.

  20. Re:Story title needs a warning! on Could Maroney Be Prosecuted For Her Own Hacked Pictures? · · Score: 1

    As pointed out, her lawyer used the argument that they were porn to get them taken down. If it's now argued that they are not porn so she escapes the law, then the lawyer filed a false take down notice. If it's determined they're not porn, the site can legally repost them. Either way she cannot win.

    In the theoretical.

  25. It has been correct far more frequently than it has been wrong. You simply don't have a catalog of those occurrences. By the way, every example you gave took more than a "little imagination and time".
