The rumor is that when and how you buy your tickets can cause flags. When I bought a one-way ticket only a few days before I was leaving, I got extra screening.
Could we have some input from the all female development staff as to why they made this product? I want to know!
All the anti-women comments on here are neglecting the fact that there were women who knew enough to design the product.
Guys, If after reading all the comments posted here, you cannot understand why more women do not care to spend time learning about technology, you're pretty $%$%$# stupid for smart people. If someone bleeding 5/28 days out of the month means that they cannot understand technology I'm missing some correlation here.
Not to troll, but if somone like the NSA wants to find out who you're talking to, they will. Get over it or don't use digital communications. Once one has made the decision to use digital communications then having the computer notice who someone prefers to talk to most and then prioritizing based on that seems like a good thing to me. One of my major bones with major chat clients is that there's no way to assign a priority to people -- maybe I don't give a damn if my gaming partner wants to talk to me right now but I do care if someone wants to contact me about a homework assignment. It's too gross of a generalization to say that I'm either willing to talk to everybody or to nobody. Generating ways of automatically handling this is good.
Unfortunately, Windows isn't precisely the same because its very easy in Linux to set user permissions and much more of a pain in the butt in Windows (if it's even possible in some cases.)
I think that a lot of people are missing that there are two concepts here.
The first is grid computing, which is as far as I understand being able to offload processing to multiple computers. The second is ubiquitous computing, which is being able to use computers anywhere you want and access data anywhere you want in a natural fashion such that you're not even thinking about the fact that you're using a computer. See this google-cached page for an example.
The two may be used together but are not dependent on each other.
Offloaded processing for small mobile devices would almost seem to demand a uniform platform to harness spare CPU cycles locally, though a large scale version of distributed computing wouldn't be necessary.
There is an improv show in Chicago called Frodo-A-Go-Go which is supposed to do a parody of LOTR in maybe an hour and a half. It is as bad as the reviewer thought the one man Star Wars was going to be. Although seeing "Giblet" and "Legoland" become transvestites in blond wigs was amusing, the price just isn't worth it.
Show me a man who refuses to believe that he can be rejected and I'll show you someone who comes off as a sleazeball.
Suggesting that someone can be forced to seduce someone else, and that it's best to not let the woman make decisions, is not terribly insightful or enlightened.

The gossipy old cow could do that too.
