I don't have an issue with that. I do have an issue with ignoring a whole swathe of transactions just because someone's programming cost them a lot of money.
Fuck 'em. They fucked up, they can take the hit. If it takes down their company then hey, that's fine.
Lets face it, my pension scheme lost 7% of its value last year anyway, losing some major traders can't be any fucking worse.
It's a geek site, where are the, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?"
The many need a fair justice system. The many need a police service that obeys the law. The many need evidence in trials to be untainted - how do you know that the gun wasn't planted in that illegal search?
Those needs of the many outweight the needs of the few; the relatives of the victim, or even potential additional victims.
I'd rather have a murderer walking loose than lose the controls and balances on the police and the justice system.
The F700 was a feature phone that was a very slight upgrade from their last phone.
They could do that in 4 months.
Which is why it's important to Samsung that their evidence of pre-January 2007 design work should be presented to the jury, as it proves that they didn't copy the iPhone design.
If the competition is to lift weights, the fact that women wouldn't win doesn't mean they can't compete. It means that none of them are strong enough to win.
I don't know if you noticed, but approximately 3 billion men also aren't going to win. Just what's the problem here?
The thing is, I could train hard for 360 days a year and I'd also never make it to the finals in any track'n'field event.
Where's the Olympics for me?
It is sexism. It just happens to be deemed acceptable to society at large, including me. I don't have an issue with it; I just acknowledge it for what it is, and also use it to highlight that we don't have gender equality in this country (and women don't want it).
You could have them compete, but in many situation you would need to give the women a head start.
Why?
Genetically women in general can't hit a ball as far as men in general, but take specific cases and many women can hit a ball further than me. Why do they get a head start and not me?
Either demand that people compete on the basis of their birth capabilities or stop using gender as an arbitrary distinction and focus on the specific factors you're trying to balance.
There really isn't a way to have men and women compete together in most sports.
One of my pet peeves about feminists is that they want to claim that this is possible, but it simply isn't.
Of course it's possible. The feminists might be a bit pissed off that the women keep losing, because they aren't as strong or as fast, but that doesn't stop them from competing.
Separate competitions for different genders is simple sexism. Gender testing wouldn't be necessary if they just held one race for all-comers and let the fastest person win, irrespective of gender.
You can also totally geek out on your fingernails with nail pens. Mine right now have the Pirate Party logo.
Given the stir I caused in the office dying my head red (for just one single day, due to a company mandated celebration no less) I'd love to see the reaction if I did that.
Slashdot Mirror
Looks like they don't have much success, the delivery time for the transformer is 20 days compared to 3 of the ipad
So selling out of a product means it's not a success?
However, I suspect the real culprit is Asus' supply chain.

there is no logical reason for them trying to introduce movie footage as prior art. I can't believe they even tried.
Hmm. Maybe it's because they show
pre-existing creations the would call into question the originality and validity of Apple's design patents.
Who would've thought it. Judge Koh disallowing evidence yet again because it would be prejudicial to Apple's case.

Samsung's contempt of court
From what I've seen of this case, contempt is the only appropriate response.
Correct, Apple's claim is based on admissible evidence; Samsung's is not.
...because the judge ruled Apple's evidence as admissible, but denied Samsung the right to counter it.
Doesn't sound fair to me.
I have to admit, his written response was as close as I've seen any lawyer tell a judge to sit down and stfu.

What about hermaphrodites?
Gender is not binary.

So XXY people compete in which category?
they would be exceedingly rare; I wouldn't be surprised if the Olympic testing committee never encountered one.
Between 1 in 500 and 1 in a 1000 means there's almost certainly one at the Olympics right now.
Sadly as a bloke working for a bank in the North-West of England, I have to deal with multiple layers of prejudice.
Gameplay is king, as those games easily prove.
You need new glasses. I don't get lens flare in mine.
I particularly don't get lens flare in a multi-aperture-blade shaped bokeh, as in one of those screenshots.
It's not even a new thing, CoD2 also played like that.
In what tangential universe is CoD2 not a new thing?
Fucking kids, get off my internet :(
Millitary training in the 80s taught me that static camouflage is hard to see, but movement leaps out at you.
It _should_ be hard to see the stationary sniper.
Bowties do look good on a woman, but only with tails & fishnets. Possibly not the ideal office wear.
I'd recommend never learning to tie one. Demand that he knows how to, and dump him if he can't.
Or maybe you have a sense of humour and are enjoying the responses. I know I am.
wear a competitors logo on company picture day or ID badge picture day.
Hmm. I suddenly have this need to replace my ID badge. Now, where's that t-shirt a previous employer gave to me..
argh! socks with sandals is a crime against humanity.
Stockings with high-heel sandals is perfectly fine if it's cold out, but socks?? noooooo!
Simple rule: Wear a suit to job interviews.
Just ask the question: You guys look pretty relaxed. Is that the normal dress code? Cool, I work better when I'm comfortable.
You can also totally geek out on your fingernails with nail pens. Mine right now have the Pirate Party logo.

You've inspired me :)
