One day, we will find his money in the hands of trained medical professionals as he shushes aside his astrologer in favor of a life-saving procedure. Of course, until then, he'll simply be determining the treatment of UK citizens based on star charts and snake oil.
Sorry, I totally did forget the headline...clickbait as all get out. Still, this whole "study" and "article" is a mess - I don't think it's SJW-agenda as much as it's just/. being/. and pushing out crap for clicks.
I don't know that there's any decent metric to compare such a large and diverse pool of people and companies and water it down into some simple statement about how effectively one gender does something.
If fact...why the hell am I back on/.? I find myself just arguing with comments (not you, necessarily, but I've made some other marks in this comment section) from people who came here just to start a fight.
This article is standard/. format; it's not SJW, it's not feminazism; it's Slashdot gunning for clicks with poor titles, crappy editing, and ultimately useless "studies" that are somehow "News for Nerds."
And yet here you are...glad you came all this way for this oh-so Insightful comment. It'd be cool if you wanted to elaborate on why you think this is anymore Clickbait than most every/. article? Or why there's some "social justice" undertone. Even the summary questions the results of the "study" as being a case of correlation vs causation.
Adding to some other informed replies, HTML/JS/CSS are standards, in older versions, but most browsers are being written to comply with Working Drafts of standards. These are in flux, and vendors are choosing bits and pieces to support. While the ground is evening out - a lot - there is much need to test across browsers. If I ever had a manager who told me "Make sure it renders in Firefox - don't worry about anything else" then I'd probably be working for free, because no one is penetrating the market with a single-browser thought process.
I feel bad for the parents. My wife and I are young, and we already can't stand the Daleks. Imagine those parents out there, who have likely been putting up with "EXTERMINATE" for more years than we have, and now it's not only those surprise Dalek episodes to contend with, but also kids running around thinking that Daleks are so cool and "Look mum! I programmed it to talk!"
What? Women. In general. Like my sister and her friends, who were playing Mario before I could go to school? Or like my wife, who has been a gamer for 10+ years? Oh, maybe you meant the various women in my office who play video games?
Noobs are noobs - gender has *nothing* to do with that. Considering that about half of the gaming population is female and that I've been playing with girls/women in different games since middle school (15-ish years?), lumping women (or anyone) into a single group like that based on unrelated factors is pretty much the reason people get pissed off.
Right? The only one that looked remotely similar in an "almost too similar" way was the home screen, and I'd only believe that were iOS if it were jailbroken. They sure did borrow a lot of similar design patters and I can equate parts of the UI to their components in iOS (the camera app's ordering of My Photos -> Capture Still -> Capture Video, or the calendar app style), but none of it would be confusing for me either.
Jezebel, as a site, has been known to pander to fairly extreme, militantly feminist views
Ok, think that through and try again maybe? I've ready plenty on Jezebel that is absolutely not that, and feminism as a whole is a Good Thing even for us men. Radical or, more correctly, "neo-feminism?" Not so much, but then again that's not what Jezebel spews. Gawker media on the whole is pretty much HuffPo-Lite - sensationalist headlines and grabs for eyes, but isn't that every news site? Hell,/. has it's own slew of "OMG LOOK AT THIS TECH" or "DEATH OF [X] IMMINENT" where the content is hardly vetted before you get 500+ comments just arguing about how BS TFA is.
Besides, the problem here isn't just Jezebel, but the "Kinja" system in place on Gawker as a whole. Funny that an article on Jezebel meant to call out their parent company ended up being a poster child for the problem itself.
C'mon, get limber! But, I would always advise in getting consent for those kinds of things, or the shocker might end up being the swift kick in the face you get for trying to surprise her.
Certainly it depends on where you come from. Sorry, numbers not handy, but there is some truth that women are more likely to be the victim, but statistics that say that men are significantly less at risk are wrong. It's closer to a 40/60 split than 20/80 or 10/90, as most places and people would have you believe. Keep in mind that for a long time men weren't even considered in rape or abuse statistics, regardless of whether or not it was happening.
My state asked that the 100 year sea-level study be revised to only predict for 30 years - looks like we'll be seeing a.3 inch increase in that time so it may not satisfy the right's desire to see low numbers that they can wave away.
So far it's not bad, but a lot of people advocating for congress to step in instead. Not sure how I feel about that vs unelected people making decisions - if only there were some way for the common people to decide what we should do...
I would consider buying it if they do include same sex marriage in the future. I'm straight, married to a woman, and not into dudes at all. But, I'm all for games that include the option. I'm for human equality or whatever you want to call it, and while it may not have affected my buying choice beforehand, if Nintendo DOES include samesex marriage then I'll be more inclined to buy because they were thoughtful enough to implement it after this "incident." I'd rather a company be sensitive to 1/1000 of potential customers than not, and that means a lot to me as one of the 999/1000 that it might appeal to.
Sure, but you should be asking your users if they would like to contribute that data, not assume that they want to. Steam asks me if I want to submit my hardware information, it doesn't assume I want to from the get-go. This has likely hurt "participation" but it keeps goodwill flowing between Steam and their users. Ultimately, metrics don't mean squat if no on uses it in the first place.
I see arguments about what the 2nd Amendment "really" says all over this page; people talking about how their guns are going to be stripped away; how any law-abiding citizen has a right to own a firearm. Where are we really disagreeing here, people?
You want a gun? Fine: pass a background check. Have a history of 1) violent crime or 2) attempts to harm yourself or others due to mental illness? Then maybe you should consider something other than a gun for protection, and maybe the state should enforce that for you. You want an assault rifle for hunting? Hunting what, exactly? Well-armored bears who are currently stealing your children?
Legitimate uses for guns owned by citizens fall into either hunting, or self defense. Other than that, it's fun to go to a shooting range sure, but that's arguably practice for the aforementioned tasks. If you need an assault rifle for militia-type purposes, maybe you need to have those kept somewhere safe. "Geez, we all banded together in our community and have decided to fight oppression from the government, but I'll be damned if I'm driving over to Gander Mountain first to grab a gun!"
I have no qualms with the idea of personally and professionally leveling the life of someone who has attempted to profit from disarming me and my fellow Americans
Seems like a threat to me - I'm not sure how else you level someone's life, than with violence. I'm not sure what else that could mean other than the person posting that comment intends to hurt harm else.

Wait, ya'll have snakes over there, right?

/. is dealing with what they always do: poor title, an article that doesn't live up to the title, and comments that take a rather hateful stance.
BTW how are you +5 when "Black-run companies" aren't "normal"
Da fuq...
Where did the ignorant, hypocritical sexism occur here?

The term was coined by a friend of Limbaugh, who went on to popularize the word.
Any woman who self-identifies as a "feminazi" is either trolling or trolled.
Right now, women, in general, are noobs in games
What? Women. In general. Like my sister and her friends, who were playing Mario before I could go to school? Or like my wife, who has been a gamer for 10+ years? Oh, maybe you meant the various women in my office who play video games?

No, they use the money for actually expensive things. MRAPS for $0.50 hardly put a dent in their wallets.

Will be quite pleased. Or mortified.
And then you end up with 110% of your files tagged - obviously, tagging is the superior method of file organization.

A article
I would consider buying it if they do include same sex marriage in the future. I'm straight, married to a woman, and not into dudes at all. But, I'm all for games that include the option. I'm for human equality or whatever you want to call it, and while it may not have affected my buying choice beforehand, if Nintendo DOES include samesex marriage then I'll be more inclined to buy because they were thoughtful enough to implement it after this "incident."

Why troll? Also, not only Macs but apparently only 10.8 and up so...no go for me.
Sure, but you should be asking your users if they would like to contribute that data, not assume that they want to.
