If you raise a group of people with the expectation that they're unsuitable for a particular field of work, they will de facto be unsuitable for that type of work.
So the problem is not that people who are minorities or who are female are discriminated against in hiring considerations for those jobs: The problem is that they are, in fact, less suitable for those jobs due to their environment and due to no fault of their own.
You can't fix the problem by forcing companies to hire people who are unsuitable for the job.
You'd have to fix the problem by changing all of the systems that make those people grow up unsuitable for entry into those fields.
First you'd have to make it acceptable to open a conversation about how people are being traditionally steered away from seeking a life that would make them suitable for those jobs.

And that's a serious problem.
When there's a new version of iOS, I get it the day it's released.
When there's a new version of Windows, I get it the day it's released.
When there's a new version of Ubuntu, I get it the day it's released.
When there's a new version of Android, I get it when I buy a new phone.

When they tell you they're going to stop doing something you don't like, you should be very worried.
Because it always, always means they're going to keep doing it, and they're going to do it more, but they're going to call it something else.
CIA, NSA and FBI have been doing this since their inception.
Seeing as how they're still trying to faithfully recreate Windows 95 in open source form, I'm gonna say... nah.
Why do they get to violate the DMCA?
If it is protected by encryption, no matter how weak, it is a federal offence to break the encryption.
Why do police cruisers get to break the speed limit?
September 1993.
Never forget.
And what is it like to give up all the apps you use on a daily basis and replace them with links to mobile versions of that app's website?
Here's the problem though:

The Commodore brand is now only a brand.
It's been whored around quite a lot.
Remember that awful MicroATX PC in a C64-shaped box that came out a while back?
Same deal.
When will people stop being surprised about brand whoring...
I mean, look what they did to the Care Bears.
More people in the world use online messaging and VoIP apps than use traditional phone service.
You sound like an old, bitter, burned out twat who can't handle change.
Add to that you can't 3D print the body panels and then call it a "3D printed super car."
Unless you are literally 3D printing the entire car including the engine block and the wheels, you're not 3D printing a car.
You wouldn't want it if you had it.
Ubuntu's mobile OS has all the same problems as FirefoxOS:
It has zero native apps but pretends to have lots of "apps" which are actually just icons that link to mobile websites.
The OS itself is a confusion of UI elements and interactions that require one to spend more time navigating the OS than using it.
> You don't get to be a leader, by being a nice guy in the commitee.
Sure you do. It's just *harder* to do it that way. That's why most leaders are pricks.
Because it's hard to be nice AND lead.
But it's easy to lead and be a prick.
Linux can move on without a belligerent prick constantly berating everyone in his path?
You don't say.
Nothing changes but the label.
They'll keep doing it, they'll just stop telling you about it and find different words for it.
They'll rename it to something like "The Free Beer and Guns For Country Boys Act."
See also, CISPA, CISA, CRISPA, BISPA, CRISCO, or whatever they're calling it for this trip through Congress.
"And then we said, sure, we'll turn off the Patriot Act! HAH! HA HAAAAAH!"

No.
No. When.

When did this kind of shit become the norm for Slashdot?
NSA to the people:
PFCHFHFCHFHF! Yeeeeah. We'll "stop" "wiretapping."

Which OS has the problem?
I'm not sure how many of those are actual words and how many of them you're making up.
It's simple: If your law says you can slap your wife anytime you like and kill your daughter if she offends you, you don't get nuclear power.
You know exactly how that would go.
GM would start producing luxury cars made out of "food."
Cable boxes would come with heart rate monitors so cable TV could be considered a "medical expense."
Is anyone going to answer the fucking question instead of shitpicking over the phrasing and implementation?
Yes, it gets people to slow down until immediately after the speed trap, then they speed up again.
So the only result is traffic congestion and speeding tickets.
