One example does not a well-represented statistical sample make.
We weren't talking about statistical samples. Here was Mr Kaos' statement:
"so lets talk about this disparity when women start doing dangerous jobs"
Note, he did not say, "when an equal proportion of women are doing dangerous jobs" or, "when women are represented in dangerous jobs at the same rate as men".
He said, "when women start doing dangerous jobs". Well, we have met that criterion, since women are indeed doing dangerous jobs. In fact, he mentioned three specific categories of job (none of which anyone on Slashdot has done, by the way). Those categories are, "Mining, construction, military." Well, there have been women in mining jobs since the 1800s, women in construction jobs since at least the 1920s and women in the military since forever. And I'm not talking about on some rare outliers, but a lot of women are in these jobs. Also in forestry, firefighting and other highly physically demanding jobs.
You want to talk about dangerous? The US military forces are now 14% female. There have been over 9000 women who have earned combat badges in Iraq and Afghanistan. Around 170 have lost their fucking lives.
So I don't want some turkey-neck fucking AC to come here waving his baby-dick around talking about how the sample size of women doing dangerous jobs is 1.
Correct. It might be that those with a lower life expectancy for other reasons, like poverty during childhood, more often end up in physically demanding jobs.
Or the simplest solution might just be correct: That hard work will wear you out. I know it does me.
Not true. Everyone could vote for it in the House, and then it will go to the president...
Veto. Dead and done.
I think Trump is closer to gone than many people are willing to admit. When Mueller gets around to indicting Princess Ivanka, Trump will fold faster than a cheap suit.
I wouldn't expect intelligence to factor into strength of passwords.
You would be correct. I'm probably the smartest person any of you will ever meet, and my password for everything is "passw0rD". See, I changed the "o" to a "0" and made the "d" upper case so that it's impossible to break. Also, because the password nazis insist on my including a number and a mix of upper and lower case.
Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democratic senator from Oregon whose work often focuses on tech and privacy, sent a letter to the FCC this week demanding an investigation.
It's worth noting who's upset about this and for some reason many of the stories don't mention him.

The New York Times revealed Securus, a Texas-based prison technology company, could track any phone "within seconds" by obtaining data from cellular giants -- including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon -- typically reserved for marketers. The report said former Mississippi County sheriff Cory Hutcheson used the service nearly a dozen times to track the phones of other offices, and even targeted a judge.
Just in case any of you were still working under the false assumption that it doesn't matter which party you vote for. Keep it in mind as election season approaches.
In a few months, on next blood workup, hoping to see positive results, and in a year, I wanna be off ALL meds.
If you don't mind me asking, are you on metformin? If so, you'll have very good results with the low-carb/high protein diet. The trick is to eat around 130-170 grams of protein (which is actually a shit-ton). Also, nothing but protein for breakfast. It tells your body to prepare to metabolize fat instead of sugar. Coffee is fine. You can eat all the veggies you want (not potatoes or beets, but almost everything else is free). If something has a lot of fiber, you can subtract the fiber from the amount of carbs.
I teach adults and some are overweight and pre-diabetic or diabetic. When they have a lot of improvement, I ask them what they've been doing and they've all told me the same story about the diet their physicians gave them. This must be the new diet doctors are recommending. Most of them can't manage to eat enough meat or eggs to get the requisite protein, so they'll add some protein powder shake or protein bar, just not one with artificial sweeteners because apparently they can trigger insulin.
For me, the future of fishing is tossing a line off Cayucos Pier at 6:30am with a doob in my mouth and strip of mussel on my hook (you can wade under the pier and find all the mussels you need). Sometimes, I don't bother with the hook and line. If I happen to catch some surfperch or starry flounder, we'll eat surfperch or flounder. If not, there's a place there that serves fish tacos for breakfast that are spectacular.
The notion that journalists can't be trusted arose directly from the observation...
No, it didn't. That's just the legend, via the people who are threatened by an informed populace. The supposed "trusted media" of the past is really a re-imagining of what was really just a media invested in the status quo. There have always been people who would benefit from an all-out assault on truth. We watched it happen in other countries and now a consortium of foreign and corrupt domestic entities have unleashed it here. Fortunately, it seems that Donald Trump will be both the apotheosis and the demise of this phenomenon, as you can see by how the cries of "fake news!" are becoming less effective, plus the utter transparency of state-run media outlets like Fox News.
People aren't buying any more. That's why CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times and Washington Post have all seen increases in viewership and revenue as the Trump presidency has worn on. The "fake news" movement has jumped the shark.
There is nothing stupid in thinking that all news media is driven by greed/catering and/or ideology/propaganda.
No, the stupid part is believing that a news outlet driven by greed cannot be trusted, or that a propaganda site can.
There is no equivalence between real news sources and Breitbart. None. They exist in different realms, for different purposes. The notion that journalists can't be trusted is one that has been carefully curated by people who benefit from you believing that truth cannot exist if it indicates a point of view.

I've been reading this site for years, writing as AC on and off for more than a decade. Joined slash today as I was annoyed at what I can see going on here.
No, just real Nerds here who are tired of being spammed by (as another poster put it) paid DNC political shills (with 'English or Sociology Degrees') spamming Slashdot. They should [f'go] off to a different site.
"just real Nerds" who only created their Slashdot account today are complaining about spammers.
The Internet Research Agency must be having a hard time hiring good people.

We were talking about sweet spots, not wet spots.

My sweet spot is on the couch.
Or the simplest solution might just be correct: That hard work will wear you out. I know it does me.
Jeez, you're no fun at all.
They already know me by my bumper stickers, which reads, "My other car is your mom".

In other words, you're expecting California to save your asses. Again.

I've spent time in Eastern Oregon and I've lived in Texas. On its worst day, Eastern Oregon is light years better than Texas.

Good luck, cayenne.
What are some of the bugs you encounter in Thunderbird? I've been using it forever and it I can't remember experiencing a bug.

It depends. You offering or asking?
I'll ease my goddamn foot up your ass before you get me out of my car. You can have my steering wheel when you wrest it from my cold dead hands.
No, I'll have fish.
