  1. Re:It may work for German on Is Germany Raising a Generation of Illiterates? · · Score: 1

    That's ridiculous. There are so many exceptions that it does not even make sense to speak of 'rules'. And most rules a so fuzzy that they are no help at all. Best way to write is to learn each word like a vocable in a foreign language. Leave everyone alone who tries to tell you about 'rules', e.g. most teachers.

  2. Re:I had deaf friends. on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "for many Deaf people, every implanted child is a person stolen from their culture."

    I'd say: Poke out their eyes. Then those people can enjoy not only one, but two cultures: The deaf and the blind. Should even out the numbers.

  3. Re:Open your mind on Ask Slashdot: Can an Old Programmer Learn New Tricks? · · Score: 1

    You might never use these for anything practical, but what you learn from them is invaluable. You need to constantly be learning new things.

    In that case I would not learn such worthless stuff. Sorry, but 'you might never use these' is worthless in my book. When I feel the need to train my learning muscle it is stuff like OpenGL, video encoding, OpenMP. Stuff I can use and do with the languages I already know, but are new to me. Just learning a new programming language becomes sooner or later brainfuck. It is the illusion of doing something new, but without actually leaving ones comfort zone.

    Might be. But I think this word is too subject-specific . The connection of 'female' and 'sexist' is IMHO better. Makes it clearer that women too can be sexists. This goes far too often under the radar.

    This might be true, but it is irrelevant. Or do you think if there is again a complaint 'waaahhhh.... not enough women in IT' sales, marketing or office staff is meant?

    That's what I thought. So it is practically impossible to do it and erase all traces. In that case it should be fairly easy to prove or disprove her claims.... if this is allowed and not sexist to doubt her word.

    companies that allowed this kind of behavior would find them selves lacking in a very large section of the talent pool.

    Oh, really? I constantly hear: Very few women in IT. Not enough women here, not enough women there...so, so deep can this talent pool not be.

    And every business will be better off, the fewer women are employed. No company needs female hate mongers, who pull the reputation of the company down to further her own agenda.

    Interesting. In other words a typical feministic parasite. Meritocracy really must be evil. Makes it obvious that women are underachiever.

    Did a single creepy and jilted co-worker (who aggressively professed his love) remove her code? Is there a data trail to prove this one way or the other?

    Did you ever try to rewrite the git history so that really no trace of a commit can be found? Sounds interesting. I would like to know how this can be done.

    none of them are women

    Cry me a river. Damn meritocracy . Outrageous! One has to earn merits to be idolized. So unfair against women. Compete against men and getting no special facilities.

    Even if you stay anonymous, it is still unpleasant to be part of a community which implicitly is hostile to you, as demonstrated by the dozens of blatantly misogynistic comments on here.

    What goes around, comes around. Not being able to start something themselves. Not willing to play by the same rules men must do. But still want to have a say everywhere. And then, if they don't get their will bitching about discrimination and 'mysogeny'. This really is rich.

    You might call strong reactions against this mysogeny. I call it a natural reflex against parasitism.

    Every misandric rant should be answered with a mysogenic one. Long overdue that men stop turning the other cheek when lazy advantage seeking women cry foul. I don't care if my arguments are effective or not. Religious zealots can't be reached with arguments anyway. You want arguments? Fine. Go to YouTube and search for Karen Straughan.

    Who voted this misandristic bullshit up?

    The fact is, women's brains aren't more or less "wired" for anything, and most preferences are learned through socialising.

      Proof by assertion against all results reputable (non gender religious) research studies came up with.

    But don't take it from me, ask any group of women already involved in open-source about the challenges they face daily.

    All men should always keep in mind: Women lie. The lie is above all the most important weapon of women. The proof is in this case easy: Usually there is no way to know who is involved in and open-source project. And it never matters. If there is are women in open-source, it is only noticed if they need to flaunt: 'Hey, look guys, I shove a pair of tits in front of me'. Those have an agenda and definitely are not to be believed.
