Showing lots of cleavage distracts guys, frequently attracting them like flies to honey to chat the woman up and hit on her, thereby distracting her from the concentration needed to program.
From what I can see, you'd think WND was too liberal.
It's been a *long* time since I read WND, and even then didn't read it that much. All I really remember was lots of ads for books about Israel. From your comment, though, it seems that WND is far right.
So, what do you see that makes you think that I'm farther than far right?
Since big tits and deep cleavage do not correlate -- or, if they do, it's negative -- with the skills needed in STEM, your argument is flawed into Wrongness.
(Though they are positively correlated for jobs like direct sales, especially in "manly" industries like construction, shipping, etc. I've seen it with my own eyes.)
Someone doesn't know very much about child development. Specifically, those cooties that girls see crawling all over boys weren't invented by the patriarchy to keep women down.
What's difficult is getting off your ass and doing something about it.
True enough. But what you *don't* do is idiocy like this.
As with any argument against someone's firm intent, you need a lever to convince them to do otherwise. (Another post mentioned how we'll get it only when FR s/w catches a Congressman out with a woman-not-his-wife.)
The goal was "to develop a voluntary, enforceable code of conduct
Because they work for/with the government, those privacy advocates are -- by definition -- adults. Yet they are so fucking naive as to make me wonder whether or not they are mentally retarded.
You do realize that such careless distribution of IPv4 addresses in the early days
You apparently don't realize that the 10/8 range is reserved as private address space, and therefore it's impossible to carelessly distribute the 10/8 range.
The very large company that I work for, with one of the oldest domain names, has a *huge* 10/8 network (16+ million IP addresses), and it ain't broken.
Never. IPv6 would have to be demonstrably better *everywhere*, even in un-upgradable legacy embedded systems. (Even now, there are plenty of places where horses and donkeys are used because cars can't go or are impractical.)
Even the answer to the question when will IPv4 become obsolete? is "A long, *long* time from now" because it's simple, Just Works, and is pervasive.
(If there was no NAT or unroutable IP ranges like 10/8 then IPv6 uptake would have happened a lot sooner.)
[That interpretation of my comment] is, of course, ridiculous because the business we were in was making PCs, and almost from the start I had them at home and my wife played Scrabble with time-sharing machines, and my sixth-grade son was networking the MIT computers and the DEC computers together, hopefully without doing mischief, using the computers I had at home. Home computers were a natural continuum of the "personal computers" that people had at work, in the laboratory, in the military.

But we don't live in cosmic terms; we live in human terms, and 425,000 miles is really far away!

a left-leaning site like Slashdot.
I don't read comments -- or post -- as much as I used to, but /. used to have a significant population of conservative-libertarian readers.
Has that changed?
but can we blame them for using what they've got for personal advantage?
Feminists blame men for perpetuating the patriarchy, and yet young "empowered" women are the ones showing their tits. So... yes, I can.
Besides, it ruined Mardi Gras.
How in the hell is this voted Offtopic when I'm commenting directly on the story summary?
(Well, sure I know why: a SJW can't handle the truth.)
So... you noticed Nixie Pixel's *frequent* cleavage and plunging neckline's too, huh?

It seems like *every* Empowered Young Woman on You Tube feels this deep and overpowering urge to show as much of her tits as possible.

They had the good sense to diffuse ...
Yet they went in with the hare brained notion that it might actually work. That's the mentally retarded part.

in manning off-shore oil rigs: two weeks on, then two weeks off.
It might not be perfect, but it's better than the current situation.
At some point, you can't be held for responsible for the intentions of others
Yes, at some point. There *is* a big grey middle, but the edges are also pretty clear.
here's how to use bitcoin, or did he tweet, hey Jihadists, here's how to use bitcoin and evade the NSA ? It makes a big difference.
(No, I did not RTFA.)
Why didn't the matter turn into the solid phase? (Not I did not RTFA.)
I want a web browser.
A multi-threaded web browser. (Which is why I'm writing this in Chromium.)

They aren't rolled into hangars for inspection? After all, snow and rain make it really hard to detect small cracks.
It wasn't a trap; you just misread/glossed over. Happens all. the. time.
Thus, no need to get into a snit. Just admit your mistake and get on with life.
What's so tricky about The very large company that I work for ... has a *huge* 10/8 network?

There's no valid need to switch to IPv6.
Never. IPv6 would have to be demonstrably better *everywhere*, even in un-upgradable legacy embedded systems. (Even now, there are plenty of places where horses and donkeys are used because cars can't go or are impractical.)

IOW, vaporware.
