Beats (and by extension, apple) is overpriced, overhyped shit. Bose is overpriced, overhyped shit. I sincerely hope they cost each other millions with this.
"But truth be told, you are probably not really interested in the truth. You would rather keep your blinders on so you don't have to face the fact that this is a serious problem that technical women / geek girls face every day. You might have to change your views and own up to how you are part of the problem."
There's the problem. Blanket statements. There's no actual proof that Man X is part of the problem, but he fucking better well get to apologising.
"The real truth is something that most men have trouble understanding: That women, like lawyers, have no problem at all holding two mutually exclusive opinions at the same time. They want to be skinny and make a diet and they want to eat that cake. To many women, there's no conflict in that."
Can you provide something a little more conclusive to substantiate this claim? It seems more made up than anything based in actual fact.
What we're all forgetting here is that we're still moving out of the dark ages of computer use, since the generation that suffered the most for the sake of their ambitions are still alive. The one where being a computer enthusiast meant you were a social pariah and were destined to be abused constantly by everyone, especially all through highschool. Then bam, society takes a hard left and suddenly it's cool to be tech savvy. That doesn't help all the people that got shit on for decades before things turned around.
Now these abused souls are grown up, and in the industry and you wonder why they're assholes? If this were any other situation you'd have governments creating support groups. Instead, everyone is demonizing them for being harsh and defensive. You're not going to see this problem go away for several generations, if it goes away at all and it is a problem that society itself built through its perpetual abuse of other people.
>There's very few women who play Magic: The Gathering
What a bunch of bullshit. I know at least half a dozen girls in my town alone who regularly play this game. If they exist here, I'm certain they exist all over. Your idea of what young women participate in these days is outdated.
It's been "coming soon" for nearly 5 years now. They talk about these sorts of displays every year, offer all kinds of compelling demos and then never do anything with it.
That's probably because we don't see the aloof emo hero who in between fighting off a plethora of barely legal teen girl love interests, has hour long mid-combat philosophical debates with his enemies as being particularly appealing. Most of us find this just plain stupid.
Regular people are excluded **all the time** from various professions because they're unwilling to dedicate enough time to learn it. Are we supposed to just assume that programming is different?
I'm so tired of this sense of entitlement where everyone they are entitled to everything with no effort. My guitar skills aren't that great - certainly not good enough to perform live acts to a roaring crowd - does this mean all musicians are elitist assholes and that music is simply unattainable because of it? No! It means I haven't dedicated enough effort to perfecting that skill.
If your job is going to the way of the dodo, then get off your ass and learn something that isn't. I have no sympathy for people who spend their lives in bottom-of-the-barrel jobs only to be surprised that they're being replaced with a better system.
It's just a QR code, which is little more than an advanced barcode. I don't see why we feel the need to write stories every time one gets used. It's like reading about paint drying.
This is like Sony getting up and telling us all that the Xbox is making us stupid.

You couldn't be more wrong - where do you think all the hentai tentacle rape comes from?

I'd complement them for not knowing perl. There's a reason everyone is moving away from it.

Where exactly is the funding to get free education for my son? Why exactly is it that he has to be disadvantaged for not having a vagina?
It's actually at least 15. They always walk single file in order to hide their numbers.
It's not that they're not doing it - it's that they haven't been caught. Or at least, not caught on the same scale.
Except you don't run your country. He's angry at the people who do and I can't say that I blame him too much.

How much incredibly mineral and bacteria rich salt water do we bottle exactly?
Page after page after page of retarded HEUAHEUAHEUA. When brazillians invade a service they crap on it to the point nobody else wants to use it.

That's really the problem. It's been proven time and again that companies like this can't be trusted at all.

The editors here are shit.
