Let me actually address some of this.
Boys also don't "grow out" of what's become ingrained - and you've hit the nail on the head. Sports are competitive. In a sports team, boys learn exactly what they need to succeed in the business environment. That's also because people brought up in this way define the business environment.
Enrollment gap and rate of graduation are meaningless in this content. Enrollment gap *by major* is what we're dealing with. Lots of women go to college, lots of them graduate with MBAs and English degrees, very few with CS degrees. In fact, many women graduate with math degrees - because they want to teach. My SO was actually one of these.
Maybe part of the problem here is exactly that - we tell men that it's just the way it is, teaching them to continue the same practices that ostracize their coworkers for numerous reasons.
Look, I'm sorry, but you're using anecdotal evidence to try to prove a negative. I've worked in several software companies, including a very, very big one (right now), and I see this *all the time* (and I understand that's also anecdotal).
The issue is, the situation isn't correcting itself, which would be the case if what you say is true. The fact is, grown women are shaped by mass media culture, just as grown men are. Who we are is largely defined by what we experience. The *fact* that the IT industry has very few women is cultural.
Look - my SO is a college professor. We deal with this every day. Girls do not 'grow out' of what's become ingrained by the time they're 15, they're obsessed with being popular, having perfect hair and great make-up, and the best clothes - through adulthood. I don't know if you've noticed, but this is advertised at you constantly, and frankly, enough people are shaped by this that the market continues it.
In almost any work environment that's 80 percent male, women are harassed and looked down on by men, and have to deal with this catty vying-for-position nonsense from the women who are there already. It's not about getting the guy, it's about cultural imperatives they've been raised with.
How, exactly, do you decide who is likely to excel and improve the field? These girls aren't showing aptitude because it's not socially acceptable to do so. Those outside of the social mainstreams are the ones who end up in math/science *because* they're outside of the slipstream of ostracism.

This is a chip, not a platter. There's almost no correlation. This is memory, not hard disk.
That sounds like a better reason NOT to check for ID. We'd save money on prison space for those who shouldn't be there.
RTFA. The law is not publicly available.
My god, it's two dimensional! Our memory limitations are over!
I see your point - it's true, I'm part of a money machine. But I enjoy it.

As someone at Microsoft, I can tell you that the last thing they want are factory workers. Is that 700 million dollars "not Bill Gates?"

You project the attitude, I think. My SO is at a university, but I'm at a major software corp, and I see it happen here all the time.

I use Pentagon Federal CU. Why on earth are you using BoA?
How, exactly, is someone supposed to remember ten different passwords for multiple systems that they have to change once every few months?
Yes... and one prevents the other.
Can you tell us more about this?
If Adama were a cylon, Boomer would probably not be subconsciously programmed to shoot him.
Yes, you need to create suspension of disbelief to immerse yourself in the work you're viewing.
If you haven't noticed, this isn't the same show, so I'm not sure how it's revisionist.
Actually, "33" and "Water" had aired in the US before you got "Kobol's Last Gleaming" part 2.
Have you read the laws coming out of the conservatives in the US lately?
I'm pretty sure the US was given a message about corporate media control on 9/11 - but few listened.
Mod parent up. I've been using one of these as a footrest at work for over a year (albeit with slower chips).
That's pretty interesting. A lot of these features are offered in other forms on other sites - but with Google, we're eating it up.
Right - the circuitry that causes a trickle charge is often attached directly to the battery. Mod parent up.
We haven't given the UN bureaucracy money in 12 years...
