  1. Re:Sexism on Girls Take All In $50 Million Google Learn-to-Code Initiative · · Score: 1

    Yet you neglect to mention that women predominantly whine about misogyny (as opposed to misandry, which must be hand inserted into most spell checkers).

    You are actually correct, just not in any manner you think. Men's rights activists are interested in actually reaching equality. Feminists, no so much.

    Aside from your numbers being (tactfully) incorrect, history is rife with women countering your argument. You also neglect the hazards and hardships that men endured so women wouldn't. Seems to be a common neglect on that side of the argument.

    Child support is paid to which ever parent ends up with the children.

    I am living proof that this is a false statement.

    "EVERYTHING IS EQUAL NOW." Are women required to register for the draft?

  6. Re:I have a better idea on Girls Take All In $50 Million Google Learn-to-Code Initiative · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Focusing on the escapes isn't focusing on the problem. Tell me, which sex is more likely to be diagnosed for medical "treatment" than the other? The current schooling environment is hostile to boys. *That* is the reason they aren't good at it, they are not taught how because the teachers are predominantly female and don't know or want to know how to teach boys. So the boys escape.

    If a surviving spouse needs that to know what the bills are, they haven't been very intelligent about things in the first place. Same for investments. For that matter, same for passwords.

    Hatch (R) and Leahy (D) both disagree with you and they're in a better position to judge than you are.

    Or Leahy, Democrat from Vermont (since Hatch is a Repub):
    "You can't erase e-mails, not today, They've gone through too many servers. They can't say they've been lost. That's like saying, 'The dog ate my homework.' They're there, They know they're there, and we'll subpoena them, if necessary, and we'll have them."

    Your post is a blatant lie. "The Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday for what it acknowledged was "inappropriate" targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status." - Associated Press

    I would say the question would be where are the computers that were on the receiving end of those emails? Perhaps they were the other half dozen that "failed" as well? If the smell of bullshit is overwhelming, you don't actually need to find it to know it's there.

    What exactly prompted you to attempt that lame non-sequitor to Fox News? How exactly does it support any position that this did not happen, which was your obvious attempt to imply?

    Which - for the benefit of the buffoon you're responding to - is kept by Amazon and is out of reach, unless the subscribers are beyond abysmally stupid and had files with said information in blatant view on their cloud, making them culpable again.

    And the company and it's owners should have their asses sued off for failing to take normal precautions for the data they promised to protect. I have sympathy and pity for the owners of the data (although I have always thought "the cloud" was a stupid idea), but none for the company. Unconnected archiving is a universally recognized good practice. Why in hell don't the new guys understand this?

    I know the article didn't mention unions, I said those tactics (which the article did mention) were the same type of strong-arm tactics used by unions.

    I personally don't find the sampled sounds to be as nice to my ears. But the threat of boycotts, coercion and retaliation against artists that choose to use a new medium is nothing more than unionism to protect salary and I find *that* despicable.

    I may be older than the bulk of the /. crowd, but some of my favorite music simply *cannot* be played by an orchestra. I remember when they had the same lame outcry against electronic instruments.

    Yep. Paleontology is a field rife with one-upmanship. Cold blooded, warm blooded, hot blooded and meso. All had their day multiple times. My personal belief is that the theropods were most likely hot-blooded like the birds and the sauropods were meso-blooded. Their respective activity levels make this likely to me.

    Peer review "cannot" catch fraud and is not meant for it either.

    Sure it is. That's the entire point, to determine if the research is valid. Just because they *do not* review it thoroughly, doesn't excuse them when they fail to catch fraud.

    "The reviewers do not, and cannot, replicate the results"
    And what *excatly* is preventing them?
