I had a firefox add-on years ago that allowed this and it was the best/. experience I've ever had. Every-time they redesign the site I hope against hope that this will be added.
It wasn't a "chauvanistic joke" it was "satire" (slight but significant difference). I'm showing the absurdity in the Cleric's "logic" through humor[1]. What you felt the need to point out is what I was drawing attention to.
Girls code. Girls hack. This is not news, and contributes to an incorrect societal marginalization of people sans Y chromosome in jobs like this.
What's more, you imply a team like this would only have such a woman on their payroll as a sex object.
You would probably say, indignantly "it was just a joke, all in fun!" Joking in this way is not OK. It needs to be shut down and shunned by society, and I'm calling it out everywhere I see it.
I'm a member of the Y-chromosome club, and I condemn alen's message.
The fault is in the American public in electing the previous administration in the first place, and when you move forward, you fix the source of the problem by fixing the public's attention.
*LOVE* how you manage to blame the public and Bush for Obama's failings there.
If I had a solution then believe me I would offer it. These sorts of problems are *very* difficult to solve and in our system require a huge buy-in from lots of people who are willing to "put their necks out." Hopefully the tide of public opinion swings in our favor but if it doesn't then there is probably no workable solution.
It's a very interesting benefit of being a politician in a democracy. Apparently you can do all the bad shit you want and the people who elect you will get the blame.
java.lang.String. java.util.Date. java.util.Math. These are what did it for me. Re-learning every client's own "string" class in C++, it's nuances, what it got wrong, etc. Not to mention date handling.
I think the thought is that "if it does break then it will be a compile-time error rather than a run-time error." The latter being more costly to determine the cause of.
It's past that point. Nobody we would want to run would win. If you're not in the two big parties you get no media attention, no money, it's significantly more difficult to get included in debates, etc. IOW it's a doomed candidacy.

I didn't realize the photos were even related to the articles at first... WTF?
"Metro"
I always enjoy the "punish everyone for the actions of a few" model. And somehow this isn't an issue on other sites?

DO THREADING RIGHT /.! Doooo eeeeeeeet.

Sitting is always bad. She should be doing housework and caring for her husband and 20 kids!
Bingo. We need campaign finance reform first. It's not "the problem" but it needs to be solved before these other issues can be addressed.
The astute would notice under "How we built it" they talk about how the did just that.
The XBox wasn't profitable but it was popular. Surface is neither.
You mean people will stop having children?
He can't leave his house since he *may* be hit by a car or eaten by a pack of wild poodles.
Careful with that comment, it's an antique.
9/10. Good rant and you hit all the "talking points" nicely. Well done.
Stop this.

This cannot be repeated enough.
What's more amazing is that somebody then thought "that's so outrageous I need to post a complaint about it!"
We'd have been overrun by idiots wielding clubs long ago.
Yes, free speech and privacy are wonderful things (for other countries)!

Sounds good - now think about who you would need to get to vote on those laws...
I don't care what the mods say - this is funny as hell.

The STL was too little too late for these things.

But this still seems a bit of a hack to me...
