What reason could you have for running a huge study on the intellectual limits of one sex or another, or one race or another, but to use that information to exclude that race or sex on the basis of their supposed lack of ability?
Your ignorance amazes me. What amazes me even more is the idiocy of the people who modded you up.
Maybe because there are more male drivers than female? And you can NOT say that male drivers are bad because a larger percentage of male drivers are bad. When the number of drivers increase, much more complicated things happen. I don't know how to say it (maybe because english is not my mother-tongue) but when the number of people of a certain category (male drivers, in this case) in a certain group (all drivers, in this case) increase, the number of bad people (bad drivers) increase at a higher rate. Or rather, when the number of people of a certain category are less in a group, then proportionately more good people will be there. For example, in the past, not only were there less number of clueless computer users, but also a lesser percentage of clueless computer users. As the number of users grew, the number of clueless users grew at an even higher rate. But that does NOT mean that the number of clueless/stupid humans have increased in the world as a whole (at least to some extent:)). In the same way, just becase a higher percentage of male drivers are bad, it does NOT mean that male drivers are worse than female drivers. When the number of male driver increase, people of "lesser inteligence" and lesser education increase at a higher rate than that of female drivers. A better test would be comparing samples of male and female drivers who are "similar" in terms of living conditions, education and other factors. I hope I'm clear.
HERETICS!!! Someone is trying to compete with our beloved holy Apple!!!!! Here at slashdot, let's all condemn them to death and tie them to a stake and burn them!!!! Oh, wait, judging by all the comments, it looks like we're already doing this.
Dude, it's possible for baytsp get an ip block without others knowing that it's baytsp's. Heck, they can even get an internet connection with Dynamic IPs. In fact, if a server blocks connection from a "known" baytsp ip but not from an unknown baytsp ip, baytsp can even assume that that server is hosting "illegal content". (although, i don't think they would go for such an absurd idea) Just look for unauthorized files using the unknown 'secret' ips and send takedown notices from the known ips.
Well, if only one website does this, then the automated lawsuit-bots can "blacklist" that website/ip address and not visit it. But it'll be really fun if a lot of websites put this on their websites. Even more fun if they make it looks as genuine as possible to the bots - like, put a fake torrent, host a bittorrent "tracker" which gives out false ip addresses and stuff. Another interesting situation will be if real torrent sites host a section of fake torrents. I'm not sure whether it will be good or bad for the torrent sites.
I know that many readers don't RTFA, but I'm surprised to know that even the news posters don't RTFA. It didn't cost half a billion dollars to create the software. According to TFA Science Applications has received about $170 million from the FBI for its work on the project. Sources said about $100 million of that would be essentially lost if the FBI were to scrap the software.
You can get much better PCs for $499. And here, some assemblers are even selling better PCs *with* monitor and all that shit. So macs *are*, in fact, costly.
Ever since I read this story on slashdot, I've not been able to recieve emails in my 3 gmail accounts (the emails are from two different mail providers). So, have they now started refusing incoming messages (until the bug is fixed) ?

If you had replaced the word "women" with "men" and "men" with "women" in your post, you would have been modded down as troll.
Parent post is insightful. Which moron modded it as offtopic?

Yeah, "blog" sucks. And so does "scalable" and every other buzzword out there. In fact, even "buzzword" sucks. BTW, "blog" sucks less than "scalable".
Dude, your post contains more buzzwords than Bill Gates on a can of peanut butter.
Of course they won't port it to Aqua. Otherwise Apple will sue OOo to death. Why, you ask? Just because they can.
After looking at the screenshots, Xfce very remotely resembles OS X. Why hasn't Apple sued Xfce to destruction yet?
finally, a slashdot comment to which I laughed.

Huh? Can you please translate that to English?
And according the Wikipedia article, MD5 was invented in 1991.
Previously, Altnet sued RIAA over, IIRC, the same patent. previous story. Please read the comments of slashdotters on that story.
Has April come early this year?

No dude, if it's an Apple story it has to be reported at least a million times and hyped up till we crap in our pants out of sheer glee.

Whoever modded parent as offtopic has no sense of humor.
Is this the second or third security hole in gmail? All this in a fucking email service!! Google is turning out to be as bad as (or worse than) MS.
