Does institutional sexism really exist? In most companies IT companies I have worked in the proportion of women at management level is much higher than the proportion of developers, analysts, and subject experts. Its almost as if being a woman guarantees promotion to management.
Why? Women are lazy and greedy. Alice doesn't want Betty to become successful, she just wants some other random chick to lose the contract to her so she can make money on the backs of Betty, Carl, Doug and Ed. Though Betty won't really do much anyway, because she'll just be chatting with Alice while the other three finish the work.
Unlike all the hard-working men who are getting on with their jobs rather than surfing slashdot.... oh.
Historically, boys, rather than girls, were encouraged to play with computers in the, "let's take it apart and upgrade it," sense.
must have been nice for you then. All I remember is getting my ass beat when I took something apart and that's a hell of a funny definition of "encouragement". I didn't own a computer until I was old enough to work and buy one at which point, I was free to take it apart as much as I wanted.
I'll second that. The trouble I got into for dismantling the heater next to my desk in history class was hardly "encouragement".
Even with these weapons the US could still take out the entire countries infrastructure in about 3 - 5 days.
The trick that Iran will pull is the typical Muslim strategy of "attack us and we attack Israel/Civilian populations/Foreign nationals". These weapons are not designed to attack the USA but to make the USA think of what they could do to other countries.

A few years ago I was in the Whitehouse and things were going bad. The economy was flopping, support was going, and even Michelle wasn't satisfied. Then I came across MyCleanPC, and things turned better. Michelle was happy, supporters rallying, the economy improving, and Michelle was getting what she wanted. Unfortunately I tried the advanced configuration options of MyCleanPC, and things got switched round. Michelle was growing instead of the economy and the country was well and truly fucked.
I very rarely need a debugger (basically never these days), but I did like DDD when I still needed one.
What code do you write? Its certainly not C, C++ or C# or even Java. I can't think of anyone who can write non-trivial code in those languages without a debugger.
Sure there are people who can - but why would you want to? Anyone with experience of the "bad old days" when the only way to debug was in a machine-code debugger will know how to debug from trace statements, code probes, etc. It takes twice as long but plenty of people can do it.
They're not better, they just have all the swanky advertising.
I am an open source fan, but use Visual Studio at work. In my opinion Visual Studio is the best I have used for Windows only development. Now if you want to develop cross-platform its a whole different ballgame.
Your examples are comically ironic considering you are trying to justify FBI actions, given that the weight of evidence is in: "Time and again, the FBI concocts a Terrorist attack, infiltrates Muslim communities in order to find recruits, persuades them to perpetrate the attack, supplies them with the money, weapons and know-how they need to carry it out — only to heroically jump in at the last moment, arrest the would-be perpetrators whom the FBI converted, and save a grateful nation from the plot manufactured by the FBI."
Oh yea, sure they planned the For Hood shooting. Maybe they were also behind Little Rock recruiting office shooting, the Seattle Jewish Federation shooting, and the Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar SUV attack too - all of which were carried out by Muslim American Citizens. You know, you appeasers make me nearly as sick as Muslims do themselves. Next I expect the equivocation of "but Christians draw nasty cartoons", or US soldiers shot a terrorist so we should be allowed to blow up your citizens.
Just a guess, but maybe they want the unit to remain secretive?
Which is fine when you're conducting foreign intelligence operations. However, the FBI's charter is to investigate private citizens within the United States..
I hate to break it to you but many "private citizens within the United States" are Muslims, and have a self-avowed aim to destroy the democratic state. Iyman_Faris, who plotted to destroy the brooklyn bridge, Faisal_Shahzad who plotted to bomb time square, Jose Padilla who plotted with Al Quaida to set off a dirty bomb, Nidal Malik Hasan the Fort Hood shooter.... I could go on but you probably get the idea.
Half of k12 schools are elementry schools. Kernel internal commands are not appropriate at that level. Even in the highschool level, student need to learn Office and spreadsheet tasks and photoshop work for graphic art classes.
I am not a troll here, but I do wonder if these things have the ram to run LibroOffice or OpenOffice? What about the Gimp? 256 megs is not a lot. A simple import of 250 megs of pics off a student SMMC card can KILL these things easily!
Now if they had a 2nd CPU and maybe 1 gig of ram they could run more software. Is there even an ARM port of LibraOffice or OO available? It runs Java, so I doubt it as no JRE of ARM are available for Linux that are not the crippled micro edition.
These things are useful for very simple websurfing and that is counter productive for students. The little ones use flash intranet and internet sites and that is another thing these machines can't do.
These are cheap and that is the only reason they are talked about. Maybe a $199 netbook program would be more ideal with Windows Starter edition or Ubuntu. A middle school in Alaska uses these with Ubuntu (Dell 9 mini) and they have 1 gig of ram, decent video, and the ones that boot Windows 7 Starter can run flash apps and Office. These would be more appropriate for those who swear by Linux.
I think your missing the point. The schools will still have macs and PCs for teaching office skills, these are there to teach computer science. The y allow the kids to have access to a whole system, that they can bootstrap, hack, interface to devices, etc. Your question is a bit like asking whether the Bunsen burners in the science labs will be adequate for the cookery classes - of course they are not they are for something completely different.
Mozilla, and the folks behind HTML5 in general just don't get it.
They built HTML5 with the goal of making it easier for your average Joe to develop, whilst fucking over professional developers by completely destroying separation of concerns,
What separation of concerns did HTML/Javascript ever have?
The sea rose 7" over the 20th century, with zero acceleration in rate until the satellites came online, and no one noticed for 90 years. (Which obviously proves satellites cause sea level rise. )
So the Chinese are the good guys for blowing up satellites after all.

But institutional racism and sexism still exist.

Germany has a history of long term planning. Remember the "thousand year reich".

Well, I use it for multi-platform C++ development and IMHO it is the best IDE for that language out there.
Is that Microsoft Multi-platform, like Windows 7, Windows server, and Windows mobile by any chance?

It "turns out" that they have already independently developed their own browser.

what will happen when military tech hits the civilian world?
It does already, and as long as it keeps doing it in Muslim countries I'm all for it.

Hmm, with over 3,900 secondary schools and over 21,000 primary schools in the UK that should go far.

200M Gigabits per second for a dollar - That's 200 petabits a second. I'll have that
Yes, that's how things work. If you have an issue with that, take it up with the guy who created the universe..

That remark regarding influence of the (Hover) dam is rather uninformed: the water mass trapped behind dams world wide is negligible.
Quite right. If a dam is hovering then the water can leak out from underneath.
Hmmz, haven't calculated that, but I did calculate that Facebook is adding about 90% shit to the internet.
That's proof. Think of all the water used to flush that shit away.
