It was always things that seemed benign, but in hindsight were pretty discouraging. Mind you I'm in my 40's now but I remember in high school being scheduled for a class that taught basic logic and being unregistered and sent to the secretarial course - without my having been asked. Because girls weren't supposed to take that class anyway.The teacher "knew" it was a mistake because I was the only girl in there. This was mid to late 1980's.
What changed it all for me was actually having a computer at home and wanting to know more and do more. And having a husband who knew as little as I did - we tackled quite a bit together although I think learning C++ may have contributed to our divorce.
At any rate, I'm just saying, it's important to just let girls be and discover and grow. You'd be surprised how many girls are getting the same messages in 2015 that I got in 1980-something. If only everything "for us" wasn't pink or purple.
So in your purview, it's not worth the price of tea in China to find the few who do? You see it less as something girls don't want to do versus something girls are discouraged to do. I, for one, believe it's the latter. But then, I'm a black woman who codes who didn't even learn until past 35 so what the hell do I know anyway?
You can start by calling us women. Especially after we're 18.
I'm with Cricket Wireless and they charge $3 if you pay your bill in person at a Cricket store or at a reseller that accepts payments, but it's free to pay online.
Cricket will also allow you to do a bridge pay (half now, half in 7 days) if you're short of cash, but you can't do that online, only in person, so you're paying an extra $6 for being short of money.
I'm wondering if Verizon charges an additional fee to pay in person at one of their stores.
It seems to me it all comes back to the pesky problem of whether a corporation is a person, with the same rights as a person. To me, the anser is an obvious no, but for some people, the answer is yes, and I have yet to figure out why.
But it seems to me, giving corporations personhood is key to what a lot of people are saying here, particularly the poster who pointed out that issuing patents to corporations and not people is a problem. However the Supreme Court has declared that corporations are people. So now what?
I have abandoned all hope in the present government.
There are 50 states and I don't believe that a single Senator or Representative in any of the 50 represent me, my interests or mean to do anything to help the overall good for America or the world
I don't think anything less than armed resistance is going to change anything.
My daughter and I are going out of town this weekend. We've both Facebooked it and she's Twittered it.
Now if, someone surmises from that, it's a good weekend to rob my house, they're stupid. Upon breaking in they'd find my 6'4" 275 boyfriend and a loaded shotgun and two enormous dogs that don't cotton to strangers.
And even if they get through them, they'd have to get past our Militia Member neighbor, who, when we first moved in 11 years ago, told us plainly upon meeting, "I don't have no use for blacks." He's since taken a better liking to us since his wife died a few years back and my daughter insists on baking him cookies every week and seeing after him when his own kids stopped coming by.
He never sleeps, is watchful of every house in our neighborhood and will shoot anything in his yard (or ours if we simply call and ask) after dark.
So, good luck. God speed. Cuz they'll definitely be picking you up in pieces should you choose to rob our house. You may get in, but you won't get out.
I can only think it's because they've severly ditched MSN to get Bing's numbers up.
I work in several PC labs on my college's campus. Some of them are "classroom labs" where they only have IE not both IE & Firefox.
IE's search bar used to default to MSN but now the minute they launched Bing that changed. At first I thought the search was being hijacked to some search site I'd never heard of and sent of a note to IT. Then I saw the commercials and felt silly.
Someone said MSN used to have 16% marketshare. Well if Bing is up to 10% I wonder if MSN is now down to 6% because of these kinds of shenanigans.
"Apple missed a golden opportunity to lock down Snow Leopard when it again failed to implement fully a security technology that Microsoft perfected nearly three years ago..."
Sign of the times that I thought this might be a flashback to April Fools...and then I remembered. Slashdot doesn't hate Microsoft on GP and actually gives them credit where credit is due. Everyone's not an Apple or Linux fanboy anymore. But this shift to admitting that Microsoft has succeeded in an area Apple has overlooked...
Just earlier today I was thinking that some of the bills I had smelled like marijuana. There were only a few them and they came from my banks ATM but they had the distinct odor of weed. I don't smoke or use weed and I haven't been around anyone that has in at least a few years.
I thought I was imagining things and then I come across this article. Which may not be news to some, but was definitely news to me.
The other day I found my mom & daughter laughing and playing Yahtzee on an old McIntosh circa 1989. She's a retired school teacher and it seems anyone who wanted were given them back in the day. She still has it plugged in & hooked up to a dot matrix printer.
It still has a start up disk. God forbid the disk ever gets corrupted? Where will she ever find another one?
There is a possibility that people choose questions and answers that their nearest kin or friends could actually guess. In case of emergency or in the event of my death, there is the possibility that I would want my family to be able to access my main email.
Not all of my email, but definitely my main one...
One day I said to my 16-year-old daughter, "Hey, cute bracelet" and she says, "It's my flash drive."
I remember being amazed and a bit amused when you could get a Swiss Army knife with a USB drive. That was cool. But it's hard, and kind of interesting in weird sort of way, to see tech relegated to the fashion accessory of a teen girl.
What if someone bought it from the company and gave it to him as gift? Is he still under the same burden to prove it was purchased legally?
IMHO, I feel the company is being ridiculous. Refusing to sell people spare parts and accusing them of being a thief is, at worst, stupid and insulting and at best bound to lose them a customer.
Building a case for dismissal is so time-consuming, costly and draining for principals and administrators that many say they don't make the effort except in the most egregious cases. The vast majority of firings stem from blatant misconduct, including sexual abuse, other immoral or illegal behavior, insubordination or repeated violation of rules such as showing up on time.
Either the journalist is a product of the LA school system or the LA school system mandates that teachers show up late.
Oh what nitpicking.
The predicate of this fragment refers to the rule, ie., "showing up on time". The subject refers to violation of said rule. The way you would have phrased it, it would have actually read that the rule was showing up late.
This is not subjective. Your way would have been wrong and the journalist is correct.
If you took those well-off Asian-Americans and put them in the same situation as the perpetually poor in the U.S., the majority of them would eventually rise out of that level again.
How can you not see that ingrained stereotypes like this would foster them being able to rise out of that poverty faster?
Fighting overt racism is easy. Fighting BS like this is so much harder.
I cannot believe that this bigoted claptrap was modded insightful.
Saying that all of African American culture "rejects learning -- and rejects Western culture in general" is ridiculously false and insulting.
Where do you people get this stuff? Rush Limbaugh? Get a clue. There are far too many factors that influence whether or not people take advantage of being able to get an education. At best, race is a very poor determinant of those factors - at worst, your limited view paints a very wide & racist brush over people you obviously know nothing about.
Summary says: "...to hunt down uninsured motorists" I've got no sympathy at all for uninsured motorists.
OK. I don't have car insurance.
This is not some slashdot hypothetical. I truly don't have car insurance and I honestly cannot afford it. My paycheck just covers basic needs. Groceries, utilities and yes, gas because I have to get to work and truly the bus system won't do.
Some people are poor. Very poor. Work their asses off and still poor. And you can blame it on life choices or whatever the hell but you can still do your best and still be broke by the American Dream standard or even half that.
Now OP and his cosigners with their self-righteous indignation - "I don't have sympathy for uninsured drivers" - cuz...what? They're the scum of the Earth? Or they simply can't afford what has become a ridiculous racket enforced by the government? Just like traffic fines these amount to a regressive tax on people who simply do not maintain the same standard of living you do.
Really want to post this as anon but can't bring myself to do that so wtf. Tired of the ridiculous notion that cuz I don't have the same ends as other people I should be ashamed.
You know, I never really wanted or cared much about a Kindle Reader til I just read your post.
As an, ahem, older returning student, I picked up my third term books the other day. They handed me the first book and I was fine. Books two and three I felt a twinge. By the time I was holding books four - six as well, my back was went completely "out" - I was unable to walk or move without severe pain.
This has never happened to me before and I've since invested in one of those annoying little roller bags but having all my books on a card seems quite an attractive option to spending two days incapacitated.
Nowhere have I found more anger than in yahoo hearts.
For the most part online, I find people to be fairly polite if not a little more crude or pointed than they would be in real life. On message boards, chat rooms, even places like FARK - there are always rules and people bend the boundaries to breaking but the die-hard bigots are truly a dying breed. Then again, maybe it's just a matter of all out flame wars and such being ended by admins and such before they really get started anymore.
But even in something as simple as yahoo hearts, I have found the most bigoted, racist, discriminatory people you ever want to meet. I mean one day, the host of table playing Yahoo Graffiti was booting anyone that had a brown person icon. Or in Yahoo hearts people are quick to use the n-word and such.
However by the same token, I have never encountered racism playing Yahoo Literati. And I find it speaks volumes that people who would play a game that that is related to words and depth of vocabulary and knowledge would be the very people to be the kindest and most interesting people I've encountered online.
I wholeheartedly believe that there is direct relationship between IQ and the level of every day bigotry and racism expressed by any given individual. I believe the same co-relation between those who are rich and/or powerful as this does not necessarily relate to intelligence - or that those who are rich, powerful and intelligent use tools such as racism and bigotry to manipulate those who are none of those things.
I guess I always wonder - what truly is the point of being a bigot or racist? Oh well....more observations that really any information here.
But then you have simply stated the obvious - which the Republicans would flatly deny - that they are controlling simply everything.
In the type of society we are supposed to be living in, who are Republicans to control anyone or anything?
One thing people keep skirting around - the comment about Democrats not having an instinct towards self-preservation comes close - is that Republicans seem more willing to exert their controls at the expense of others and even to the detriment of others.
Democrats (please note that this is phrased in general) seem to be willing to find out what is best for the most people involved and try to find a solution that benefits the greatest number of people and everyone if at all possible.
When you throw in added factors like bigotry and racism, all this becomes skewed. The white woman, who believes that Obama is a secret muslim and somehow has been programed like a Muslim Manchurian Candidate has been told otherwise. Despite the evidence to the contrary she chooses to continue her false belief. In her mind, she cannot envision that this man, due to his skin color and what she has been told is his background could not possibly be a threat to her personally.
It is possible to make the correct decision based on fear of real threats but bad decisions are made when people make decisions based on a combination of fear and lies.
Palin was a trap that the Democrats walked into. There are many substantive policy issues upon which one could attack Palin, instead she was attacked personally and her family was made the center of attention.
I beg to differ. The leading Democrats, Joe B., B-Rak and Hill'ry all took a hands off stance in regards to Palin's personal life. It was our OMG-there-goes-a-pregnant-girl, non-sensical American Meida that pushed the Palin story about her pregnant daughter and the I'm-not-marrying-her-boyfriend to new levels of MSM idiocy.
I see Democrats facing Palin on the substantive issues: Issues she's supported that may not benefit America as a whole and indicate where she'd stand and how she'd lead in the future; what she's done with the earmark money she claims not to even believe in; and lastly does she have the experience to fill in should John McCain be unable and even most die-hard GOP'ers give a resounding, 'Hell no!' on that one.
As for my own opinion: As a Democrat and a mother I take serious issue with Sarah Palin's stance that "abstience-only education" is the most effective when her own daughter is obviously the poster-girl for FAIL in that category. That her decisions could effect the public policy health future women for generations to come is appalling in light of her POV.
The hackers may have crossed the line but, as far as I'm concerned, the Dems have not pushed the line far enough.
