It is pretty clear that the majority view at this point on Slashdot is that sexism is either imaginary, overrated, or just something women should put up with because essentially any measure to correct it is anti-men, or anti-equality, or affirmative action, or quota management, or whatever.
Might have something to do with the frequency of which these kinds of allegations turn out to be imaginary or overrated. In this case so far all we have is an allegation.
The physical risk to the driver, and the driver's skill under pressure are what makes watching motor racing exciting.
I see a lot of people assert that, but I wonder how many of them are racing fans. Personally I'd rather see robots - the race could be a lot more aggressive with nobody's life on the line.
Of course it doesn't destroy my argument. Let me let you in on a little secret: The popoular vote totals don't matter. When you lose a game of chess, do you complain because you lost even though your opponent ended up with fewer pieces?
The problem is, paraphrasing Rumsfeld, we don't know what we don't know. It may be we're getting pwned by anybody with a semi-competent spy service and just don't realize it.
I worked in a highly secure shop and we never once had a random inspection in the four years I was there. Part of the reason is those kinds of inspections increase the number of people who have access to the data. Presumably trusted people, but still...
Sure. That's what you do when you want to get something into the headlines you know isn't true. You wait for someone like Buzzfeed to publish it, then you report on the fact that they published it. That's why I called it "laundering".
The purveyors of this "report" shopped it around to all the big media outlets (including CNN), and nobody would touch it. But once Buzzfeed put out a story CNN could use it as a hook to associate Trump with allegations they didn't think were credible enough to publish under its own banner.
This has been going on since before Taco left. I used to skip everything Timothy posted during elections - I already know what the leftists think of Republican candidates.
You mean like the peeing thing that CNN laundered into the news cycle in the guise of reporting on buzzfeed? I don't see any subjective criteria for the disqualification of The Daily Mail that wouldn't also disqualify CNN.
I think they try to get the story right if it doesn't challenge their biases. They can't credibly claim to be impartial purveyors of news after the last few election cycles, but there's still a large qualitative difference between them and the click-baity stuff you see in The Daily Mail. Though you have to read the international news with a large degree of skepticism - even the largest outlets rely on the AP for international news after closing their foreign desks.

It's not a bad movie taken by itself. It's just not as good as the one that preceded it.
What company do you work for? I want to make sure you don't get any of my business.
I don't blame Marvel or DC for milking that cow, but I don't understand why audiences haven't lost interest.
To make it compelling they're going to have to make entirely different kinds of games, not 2D retreads.
But it is indicative of what will get made.

Seems like robot animals are appropriate.

Pay-to-win is a problem with "mostly anything goes" rules.
You know there's no shame in being blind, right?

I don't care what the vote totals were. She wasn't a better candidate.
Most of what you've written is nonsense, but it's true we could have done better than Trump.
Maybe the Democrats should have put up a candidate that was better than Trump.
NVM. That's from an FOIA request.

Pretty much. If nothing else they should have picked a less Orwellian-sounding name.

Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen come to mind.

CNN is far worse than Fox news.

Not the Norks. They'd be threatening their neighbors with nuclear annihilation if the US never existed.
