  1. Re:Unplesant environment on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1

    I agree. I did not mean to imply that traditions must be changed *now*, but I believe that they slowly are. Take public opinion on gay marriage, for example. Compare numbers from 100 years ago, and today.

  2. Re:Unplesant environment on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1

    And there you have it: discrimination. Why does society value nurses less than some sleazy marketing CEO?

  3. Re:Unplesant environment on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1

    But to say that "it's just arbitrary tradition" doesn't really make sense: where do you think tradition comes from? Traditions evolved with society,
    And then society changed. A bit quicker than the traditions, who are still catching up.

  4. Re:I don't get it on Webhost Sues Google · · Score: 1

    Misread the article, my bad.

    But this lawsuit is a bit strange anyway. I bet it says in their contract what type of data per click they will get. If the agreement does not include Google reporting all ip adresses, it's kind of whiny to complain afterwards.

  5. Re:What about when India gets outsourced? on Competing to Work for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    that is if prices actually drop. In a free market, they should, in theory, but MS has got something close to a monopoly in some areas.

  6. I don't get it on Webhost Sues Google · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Isn't this their own fault if they neglect to add a rel=nofollow? Besides, the advertising agreement ought to exclude known crawler IPs like google,yahoo etc.

  7. Re:Get a brain, moran! on Online Content Cannot Remain Free · · Score: 1

    There is a difference. The spammers steal your time and good mood. The publishers likely won't even notice that the content they made *freely accessible* was visited by google.
    But even so, I think perhaps I agree with you.

  8. Re:Template:High-traffic on Wikipedia to Restrict Creation of Articles · · Score: 1

    I think editors get notified when a page is changed. But they can't keep up when the damned thing changes every 5 seconds. Hence the template.

  9. Re:Ain't Real World on RPGs In The 'Real World' · · Score: 1

    You do know that bonus dice are not multiplied on a critical?

  10. Re:interesting stat on Searchable C/C++ DB surpasses 275 million lines · · Score: 1

    I think Step 4 should be "Rewrite into a ground-breaking application, that will for decades be known as the epitome of usefullness and good engineering. Sell to highest bidder."

  11. Re:Nice to see on Fedora Directory Server 1.0 Released! · · Score: 1

    Just curious:
    by a "real solution", do you mean a GUI?

  12. Re:Fatal exception on Sun Opens Up Enterprise Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    When I try to download I get greeted by a fatal exception :(
    And based on the download link to Sun studio, I found that the URL parameter "LMArea=nsx" was missing from the links to Java studio Creator and Enterprise. Add that to the end of the query string, and you will be fine.

  14. Re:numbers are good on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 1

    I think the reason people choose one IM over the other is similar to why kids choose one console over the other -- what do your friends have?
    Too true.
    Here in Norway for example, everybody uses MSN :[

  15. Re:One LInux Success - A non-Supported system?? HA on A Continued Look at Linux vs Windows · · Score: 1

    I have _never_ had any problem with a x86 (not ~x86, the unstable tree) ebuild. That, of course, does not prove that no problem ever existed. Don't use Gentoo anymore, though. Switched to Arch. (Almost) same flexibility, less compiling.
