  1. Re:Better question: on The Hidden Engineering Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    The potential doubling of your talent pool.

    Tell me you're just joking. The potential talent pool is already there. It is potential. So if there are women talented for engineering they are just there. What matters is if the women WANT to do the job (i.e. if the potential changes to real). Most of them don't want to, because they naturally tend to dislike such things (and don't tell me you didn't know it).

    Uh, you mean e.g. a PCI slot more appealing to women?

    FYI, TFA talks about engineering not software user interface design.

  3. Re:Better question: on The Hidden Engineering Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    You seem to confuse user interface design with hardware design (engineering).

  4. Re:Why does this matter? on The Hidden Engineering Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    Women take the jobs because it is more natural for them to care about other people. They give birth to children, they breast-feed them, etc. Again, it is natural. There are scientific studies that proven that there are significant differences between male and female brains. Women are more emotional than men. Men are more rational and hence more "technically" oriented. The choice of an occupation is natural. What the feminist movement wants is to get rid of the natural differences and go against milions of years of evolution. Think about it.

  5. Re:Since when on Wikipedia Used for Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 1

    Dude, you have clearly no idea what you're talking about. You don't even know what intelligence is. If you believe that "AI is pretty much just simple search and table lookups" then you should ask yourself why we don't have any artificial intelligence around. Maybe you've seen some intelligent robots? I mean really intelligent.

    AI does not exist in this world. It's all just AI-like-looking algorithms. Intelligence is much more than "simple search and table lookups". It's creativity, abstraction, insight and lost more things which you apparently haven't heard of and which are unique to human beings.

    Don't reply to this message, I don't have time to talk to ignorants like you, who can't comprehend and appreciate the complexity of humans.

    You call that "artificial intelligence", I call that a database. I don't think we should continue this discussion. Do your homework on AI first. Bye.

    > What part of human/animal intelligence is not detecting, storing, and applying patterns and relations?

    A red herring comment modded +5 Insightful? *Shakes head*

    The keyword is part of intelligence. For instance, storing data is only a part of the "ability" called intelligence. By your logic anyone who is capable of storing is capable of artificial intelligence. However, the system advertised in this "article" has only parts of artificial intelligence. And those parts are considered rather trivial in CS.

    Sheesh.

    Since when a database + automated search (keyword patterns and relations) = artifical intelligence?

    You're hypocrite, did you know that? If one hires a hitman to kill someone, is the hitman the only guilty one? The one who bought the hitman's services is even more guilty. Check the laws.

    (jazz, blues, country/western, bluegrass, soul, rap, hip-hop).

    These are indeed among the best musical genres. Bug if you want to talk about history, then you should note that these genres were created by Africans (not Americans) which Americans slaved and dragged to America. Feel free to mod me flamebait, the meta-mods will take care of you anyway.

    I don't use Mac OS X, nor a Mac, but your numbers are wrong. The market share of Linux desktops is about 1%, while OS X is approaching 5%. I can find the references for it if you want.

    Why don't they use it on the international space station if it's so easy? Why do they put up with zero gravity?

    3) Once you reach the same speed as the rotating object you are floating in zero G again without any force affecting you. You would have to slow down and then speed up again. I'd probably vomit constantly... ;-)

    1) The body should get the pull from in the direction from head to feet and evenly when sleeping. Any other direction is unnatural, and therefore it cannot compensate for real gravity.

    2) If you're not fixed to a wall of the object you won't be moving with it. Remember it's still in zero gravity.

    That can hardly compensate for gravity.

    Firefox's popularity finally shamed Microsoft into updating IE.
