The "mob" in Cologne was not actually a mob, but smaller groups of people, indistinguishable from other revellers. The police didn't stand by, but acted as soon as they could. Let's stick to the facts, please?
You consider chimpanzees stacking boxes to be analogous to a system of modular PC components housed in boxes which provide interconnects for a data bus and power? I think you are giving chimpanzees a bit too much credit. I know it makes for a pithy argument, but surely you can see there is no real substance to it.
Possibly the same reason: societal splitting of jobs based on assumed "suitable" gender, and then the cementing of those assumptions through generation after generation of workers being exposed to them and reinforcing them through participation. IT having fewer female developers and nursing having fewer male nurses are quite possibly part of the same issue. If we just scream "SJW! SJW! SJW!" and stick our fingers in our ears we might never know for sure.
Yes, you are missing something: A photoset from one company does not represent the entire industry over a decades-long span of existence. Maybe you are so annoyed with "SJWs" because some of them seem to have a better grasp of logic than you, and can show you just where you went wrong.
That is something you just invented. I'm for fighting all kinds of inequality, including if the minority in question is white guys. I'm not alone. I think your little outburst says more about how ill-educated you are on this topic than those you slung it at.
Schools across the world teach typing, and require a certain speed for passing the course. Also, women make up a rather large proportion of computer users, including writers. Plus, back then they used punch cards for most development, not normal keyboards.
So no, typing quickly doesn't seem to be the answer.
You don't think the alienation great swathes of the possible IT workforce is of any concern to anyone here? I'd say it's very important, and hand-waving it away as some sort of politics or even non-story is incredibly disingenuous.
The vast majority of women today don't do those things, just as some guys do those things today.
You're going to have to try better than using "INSERT AGED STEREOTYPES HERE" as an argument. Your wonderful use of illogical generalisations and the masterful false dichotomy at the end really drive home just how vapid your argument is.
Do you tell all the women you know in your life just how much contempt you seem to have for them? Or do you hold this attitude just towards women you don't know or like? If that's the case, how can you explain including the women you do appreciate in the same gross generalisations?
That doesn't explain anything. You just made a claim, and expected prejudice that women can't be engineers to do the rest. That's ridiculously lazy, even for a misogynist. As the son of a woman who was writing code since the late 60s, I find your comment perplexing. Either you are wrong, or my mother doesn't exist. As I'm here typing this, it seems rather more likely that the former is wrong. I await whatever logical absurdity you intend to use to defend such a wretched position.
Sorry, did you just use massive generalisations in an attempt to show why someone else's generalisation is incorrect?
Also, how can women being looked down upon be anything other than sexism? You glossed right over that claim.
Your post sounds like a fantasy you concocted, drenched with generalisations that point at women being the culprits, and then drifts off into some weird rant which has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion at all.
SMS messages delivery is "best effort", meaning they might never be delivered or received by the intended recipient. Some extra work on top of that would be needed to get something more reliable. Clearly if you are running the SMS gateway you have some control, but not total, as things can still happen between the gateway and the handset which would end up in a message not being received. SMS is not for important things.
So much guesswork, so many generalisations. Don't be upset when people ignore posts like that, as people rarely enjoy tilting at the windmills in other peoples' minds.
The British plug is simply awesome. When it's plugged there is no accidental unplugging. The built-in fuse is also incredibly useful. Great stuff. Just don't tread on one and you'll be fine:-P
The problem wasn't his beliefs, but him funding an organisation which sought to deny basic human rights to others. Phrasing it the way you did shows one of two things: Either you are ignorant of what actually happened, or you don't care about that and are trying to make some sort of political point while deceiving people.
Indeed. I have a 50000mAh unit I bought off Amazon for about 16 Euros. Apparently they use refurbished notebook batteries or something. Either way, it does precisely what it advertises. I can charge my phone completely over 10 times without having to recharge it. It's small enough to fit in my jacket pocket, and works a treat. It has two USB charging outputs, one being 2.1A, which is fine for me. I also have a set of JBL Charge 2 speakers which also have a built-in battery capable of charging my phone once or twice. External batteries make all the difference.
Those big brother issues people still haven't been able to conclusively prove exist beyond "look! It's connecting to MS servers, so it must be sending all my work and my soul to Redmond!". I'm all for privacy, but jumping at shadows and spreading rumours is the antithesis of privacy advocacy.
You do realise that Justin Rattner is not Intel, right? I know it makes for an amusing point in an argument, but it's intellectually dishonest to claim he speaks for, or represents, all Intel.
It takes from the rich to pay for the society and institutions which allowed them to get rich in the first place. It's amazing how short-sighted you are, ScentCone. It's almost as if you don't understand the interconnectedness of the world in which you live.
No, the lights simply mean "hazard". Hence them being called "hazard lights". The clue is right there. They can be used for the situations you mention, but also to warn drivers of hazards ahead of the car with hazards.

You are trying too hard.
That is true. Jumpers and jackets were not invented until 1992. Plus any woman caught wearing trousers in the 1960s was executed on the spot.

Which country do you refer to? It's not illegal to own or read in Germany...

AMD doesn't seem to have a technology called "ZeroTech". At least they've avoided mentioning it at all on their website...

You sure are better, until you have an accident the AI wouldn't have. That's the thing - human drivers are terrible, yourself included.
It's a useless comparison. I think you know that.
The problem is not HTML. You seem to not understand this issue at all.
