  1. Re:Is there a single field that doesn't? on Science Has a Sexual Assault Problem · · Score: 1

    If you care so much about denialism why are you aligning yourself with feminists, who are such profound rape and domestic violence denialists that they continue to this day to define rape and domestic violence as "Violence Against Women" despite all non-feminist research proving that rates are 50/50 across the genders? Why are you aligning yourself with people who support pedophile rapists getting child support from their rape victims? With people who wrote laws that force the police to arrest domestic violence victims purely for their gender, and force them to use the "Duluth Model"?

    You don't give a flying fuck about actually helping anyone, this is just a positional good for you. It's a way to feel morally superior and bully other people while claiming that you're the real victim.

  2. Re:About time on RAYA: Real-time Audio Engine Simulation In Quake · · Score: 2

    The thing is stuff like this and raytracing graphics are best served by parallelization, so it's not so much an issue of cranking out more performance as it is just finding a way to put it on something like a GPU's worth of stream processors.

  3. Re:Aaaand there goes the lizard squad on Lizard Squad Bomb Threat Diverts Sony Exec's Plane To Phoenix · · Score: 1

    The government doesn't even NEED to be all that competent, just competent *enough* to figure out where the person they need to fuck with is.

    Congressional re-election is a function of the absurdly high barrier to entry.

    Pissing off game companies is one thing. Getting the DHS involved is another entirely. They've just brought a level of hell down on themselves they are woefully unprepared to deal with.

  6. Re:Do the math on New EU Rules Will Limit Vacuum Cleaners To 1600W · · Score: 1

    I live in the tropics, where it's 80% humidity so something will stay wet for 12 hours if left outside.

  7. Here's a thought, lets ask actual women on ACM Blames the PC For Driving Women Away From Computer Science · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yknow, like Susan "HedgeMage" Sons? She certainly had some choice words about this entire tempest in a teacup.

    Also it's worth pointing out that computer science degrees are something like 10% of all degrees conferred in the US, and women utterly *dominate* every single aspect of education from K12 through college, even earning nearly 2/3rds of all bachelors degrees. I would think the fact men are barely over 1/3rd of college graduates in the first place is a bit of a bigger problem than what major women choose.

  8. Re:Do the math on New EU Rules Will Limit Vacuum Cleaners To 1600W · · Score: 1

    You mean why dry my clothes in a way that prevents enormous humidity build up in my residence, takes incredibly long, and results in stiff, scratchy, and often still soggy moldering clothes? Or were you seriously suggesting trying them outside where they'll wind up filthy, filled with pollen and bugs, and still probably mold from not drying completely unless it's the height of summer in a hot country?

  9. Re:No no on It's Dumb To Tell Kids They're Smart · · Score: 0

    If you only ever praise effort instead of achievement you will wind up with a generation of morons that think they're great just for trying even when they never get anything done.

  10. Re:Simulations are limited by imagination on Google Wants To Test Driverless Cars In a Simulation · · Score: 1

    A simulation is also only as good as its simulator. The idea of a simulator that doesn't let errors slip that will only show up in the real world doesn't pass the sanity test.

  11. Re:ugh... white knights. on News Aggregator Fark Adds Misogyny Ban · · Score: 1

    No, denying, minimizing, or outright erasing the actual real world actions and character of a movement totally dominated and utterly defined by those crazies is misrepresenting it. People on the internet insisting "feminism is nice and friendly!" do not outweigh people in real life committing felonies and violent crimes.

  12. Re:Fark's slow motion shark jump on News Aggregator Fark Adds Misogyny Ban · · Score: 1

    MRAs blighting fark? What are you smoking? Pointing out that people are dying after being stripped naked, beaten through the streets, and mutilated with razors and broken glass gets people mocked for "whiny dickfeels".

  13. Re:Manners vs. Censorship on News Aggregator Fark Adds Misogyny Ban · · Score: 1

    Fark's dominated by people who when confronted with evidence of men in africa being beaten, paraded naked through the streets, mutilated with razors and broken glass, and then many of them left to die of infections afterwards mock people for "whiny dickfeels".

    The only "justification" behind this is an ideological purge to turn fark into a jezebel hugbox.

    Take a guess how they define "sexism".

  15. Re:Because narrowly defining "sexism" will work! on News Aggregator Fark Adds Misogyny Ban · · Score: 1

    Fark is dominated by SJWs who regularly get away with everything up to and including mocking people who have a problem with men dying from circumcisions performed with broken glass in the street as "whining about dickfeels", and who think the very idea that men can be raped is laughable.

    This is just officially announcing that fark is a tumblr style echo chamber.

  16. Re:Sigh on News Aggregator Fark Adds Misogyny Ban · · Score: 1

    You are literally saying that the very act of asking for evidence of something in and of itself IS evidence of it, that goes beyond circular logic into pure absurdity.

  17. Re:See: Anita Sarkeesian on Women Founders Outpace Male Counterparts In Certain Types of Kickstarter Funding · · Score: 1

    Except what actually happened was she deleted everything BUT troll posts and very likely engaged in sockpuppeting in order to fake her victimhood.

  18. Re:No, school should not be year-round. on Slashdot Asks: Should Schooling Be Year-Round? · · Score: 1

    American schools brag about how they assign more hours of homework than there are hours in the day, start so early that at some schools (like my own highschool) students need to start getting up as early as 4-5am, see recess as optional, and serve such terrible food in such small quantities that hunger alone hurts kids grades.

  19. Re:No, school should not be year-round. on Slashdot Asks: Should Schooling Be Year-Round? · · Score: 1

    There is overwhelming empirical evidence that unstructured play is one of the single most important things in every aspect of a child's development, and that the uninterrupted sleep and free activity over summer is crucial to healthy physical growth.

  22. Re:How do investors react to such info? on Comcast Confessions · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They'll fall over themselves for it. Current tax laws reward reckless short-term profiteering, that's why you see shit like Hostess and RMoney where executives flat out vampire a company into bankruptcy and then take a golden parachute to the next one. Just a few decades ago tax rates were such that it was much better to develop a stable long-term profit at a lower level and consistently reinvest the rest back into your employees and customers.

    Gazans aren't israeli citizens. Just under a quarter of Israelis ARE arabs and have full rights, hell they have more rights and freedoms than they do in the west considering Israel recognizes gay marriage and is trans* inclusive while we aren't.

    The UN is so ridiculously and blatantly anti-Israel that they sanctioned israel 22 times in a single year but completely ignored genocide in Africa. Top level UN officials have repeatedly admitted the UN is biased, and a majority of the "sanctions" and "statistics" put out are directly from arab nations and representatives within the UN.
