Wow what a lot of ill-formed rubbish. I agree with your sentiments, disagree with the points you use to support them, and would also like to throw in the fact that you have dramatically oversimplified the issue, and also ignored the female pespective.
Getting teased about doing maths by the boys and girls at your school has a real effect, not just on the people being teased, but on anyone considering making the jump.
So you are saying that women don't study and work? That seems to be your main gripe, but has not been my experience. All the women I know at Uni, have also worked as well.
Sounds like you are a little bitter.
There is sexism there, but there is also a large case of women complaining about sexism then they don't get their way, whether it is a promotion or pay rise.
Really, I saw someone on the bus in Australia reading a kindle... well I assumed she was reading it, now you mention it she could have just been starring at a blank screen.
Depends what you mean by "the Microsoft". You might mean that they have a large share, you might mean they act like a bunch of wankers. Maybe if you actually wrote in english terms, we would understand what the fuck you are trying to say.
Because that is really hard to do. You obviously have no teaching experience yourself, especially if you are teaching something as dry as computer science or mathematics. When you have a large amount of work to get through, it is not easy to make it exciting....and making testing difficult enough that poor attendance matters?
What the hell is this supposed to do? Make the tests hard enough that they test what they are supposed to, who cares is nobody turns up, as long as they learn what they need to. If some students find it better to study in their own time, then good on them. I understand that professors don't like teaching to empty classrooms, but the point of Universities is not to keep professors in full classrooms, it is to teach students.
At-the-end of death mail outs don't usually contain the actual scene of the death, unless it was the actual lawyer who did it. And even they are smart enough not to send out incriminating evidence.
No, it wouldn't. It is a good idea. Microsoft needs to be punished for breaking the law. A tiny fine isn't going to stop Microsoft from doing this again.
Someone dissing people about status symbols, but can't stop mentioning he doesn't have a tv. And of course, sitting at your computer all day certainly proves you are disconnected??
Your point about the iPhone, I agree 100%, until I actually went out and used one. They are great machines, worthy of praise. They have a lot of power, and it is very easy to get to that power, unlike phones like N95 which have a lot of power, but hide it under a dodgy menu system. What is the point of being able to do everything, if you make it a pain to try and actually do anything?
And not many people actually pay $800 for it? Or have you never heard of mobile plans. Most people would have a mobile plan anyway.
It is like when I was downloading the ne acdc album of off someone, and noticed that he was downloading it from me as well. I messaged him and asked him what he was doing, he said "I'm getting back my ablum, asshole".
One of the reasons companies go to external companies like SAP, is because they don't have the technical knowledge necessary to build the thing themselves, and so how can they know when they are being lied to. This is in no way the companies fault, they aren't expected to be lied to, they aren't expected to be ripped off!
This is called an advertising Micro-site, where one of the companies tasks and agency to create a small site for them. They handle the hosting, creating the site, etc...
It appears that the budget they used for this was very small.

I honestly don't think Apple will care much.
Wow, so you are just going to ignore Apples long history of litigation...

What a stupid nitpick, that adds nothing to the conversation, and tries to hide the fact that the initial point still stands.
I guess it is inaccurate to say that women give birth more than men as well?
Yes, but if all browsers have HTML 5 code in them, which will happen in the next year, then they won't have to download anything extra.
It is BING: Because It's Not Google.
In about 4 months, he went from a 220-lb pudgy kid, to a 170-lb lean, gay guy.
Fixed that for you, not that there is anything wrong with that.

The rest of us will enjoy immitation printed paper, with weeks between charging.
No, some of you will enjoy that, the rest of us will enjoy reading a good old fashioned book.
Or, it could even be based on how you are moving, using GPS to calculate that.

how about making the classes worth attending...

It is not fucking irony, it is sarcarm. If you don't know why irony is, stop using the word!
When I first read your post, I literally laughed my head off!
I hate it when they break the 11th commandment, thou shout not yell!

Great idea though.
No.
You don't think they will think about this shit? Or do you think every one is as ignorant (which apparently is insightful at slashdot) as you are?
No, it wouldn't. It is a good idea. Microsoft needs to be punished for breaking the law. A tiny fine isn't going to stop Microsoft from doing this again.
Maybe you haven't heard, they are a monopoly. Monopolies can't use their advantage in one market, OS, to advance other markets, browsers.
IS THIS TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
You know what would really be a monopolistic practise? If they punched you in the face, and stabbed your eyes with pencils.
Ok, that is not a monopoly at all, but neither is your poor excuse for a description.

It is about time that Intel has some competition.

What a ridiculous way of looking at things.
Seems like the Star Wars universe was not that dangerous after all.
