Thanks, it is interesting to hear from personal experience what it is like.

I did not say that software development was not difficult for Asians and whites. Just that it is difficult (and subjectively boring). Period. What I am saying, is that getting a good paying, stable job is not as important for women as it is

You are trying to build a narrative that it's men stopping women from participating in software development. I find that problematic and harmful. Where is your proof, other than pure conjecture? My own conjecture is that women don't want to

Because people see them simply as computer animation with pre-recorded music. They don't understand the algorithmic beauty inside. I don't think demos will ever have a wide mass-appeal, even while being one of the most demanding and beautif

What bothers me is that Java does not have good, free, well documented, well maintained libraries for low-latency (5 ms or less) audio and MIDI. Still have to resort to C++ if I'm going to build audio software for music production and innov

Two things. You're ready to censor entertainment on a political basis. I am not. If men stopped seeing women as sexual objects, human race would die out. Maybe it's beyond your comprehension that males do have strong sexual urges. Wheter yo

Feminism is pretty much the opposite joke here. edit: Both behaviour models breed in my view from insecurity of the opposite sex. Also why this discussion is very biased: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u9DdVoV4VU

So she essentially wrote a spam bot and justified it by saying that it's to combat sexism. Sweet.

I can respect a woman by not "gazing" at her. A woman can respect me by not wearing slutty clothing. Elementary, Dr. Watson.

If they make their own factory then that is ok. Simple capitalism. That is not my point, however. If they use the original factory without paying that is not ok.

by 127 15y ago
If I build a factory at great personal cost, but the materials and electricity to produce the goods cost next to nothing, is it theft if people take these goods without my permission? I don't see the difference between this and intellectual

What you consider "fun" and "lighthearted" I consider a waste of space and attention. Tell me how it is logically not.

by 127 15y ago
The "fun" and "lighthearted" pictures are pointless and actively harmful. If you're going to show me ads, show me ads. But if you're not, don't. I'm willing to pay the price of being annoyed by advertising. The "instead of an ad" pictures g

They do show stupid pictures ("Instead of an ad, here's...") instead of ads that steal my attention for no reason what so ever. The sole reason I'm using adblock. I do not want to, but those damn pictures are so damn annoying that I have no

Drawing is mostly a trained skill. People highly over-estimate the actual innate talent needed. They just need to work for it to get results. Of course if you don't enjoy it, you will not most likely be able to learn. The trick is to enjoy

I was one of those nerds. I was not bullied by girls, but by guys. Most of the girls were really nice and lovely, in fact. I have nothing but fond memories of girls from those times. As such I find your hypothesis quite hilarious and insult

Lets not be sexist and respond in a fashion that anyone would respond to a male who whines: stop whining, get a life. Either put up or shut up. Can't handle the heat? Stay out of the kitchen. If male centered entertainment bothers you, make

Noam Chomsky quite well articulates what so greatly annoys me in the use of term "marxist". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Tq4VE8eHQ It has hardly any relation to the original context or meaning of the writings of one Karl Marx.

That's not really true. In tight knit online communities it is very easy if not completely effortless to ban trolls. There are various ways to handle trolls and they all have value, as trolling is often purely a negative thing.

Only difference between money and karma is that we can't easily trade karma. Modern money is not physical, it is just a figment of our imaginations. It has only the value we collectively give it.

Trolling also wastes valuable time from reasonable and constructive arguments. You may not value your time, but I do, greatly. If ones goal is to achieve nothing intellectually on the Internet, then trolling is fine, but if ones goal is to

Main reasons why I am not using Linux on desktop are as follows: the complexity and broken-ness of audio and video drivers and frameworks, poor state of unified user interface. Poor state of backwards compatibility on the user experience, n

I actually respect and admire women who enjoy the submissive role. Thus, when I say it I mean it as a compliment.

by 127 15y ago
There are also women who have been hurt by the feminist way of life. They just want to be submissive, raise a family and let their man take care of everything difficult and challenging. But other women are shaming them into having an active

Is it just me or are the high-resolution images from Mars absolutely beautiful. There is such a large amount of variance in the landscape even for such a barren planet. Some of the canyons, craters and mountains are breathtaking.

Unfortunately for me, I have thousands of bookmarks and for some reason that makes Pentadactyl awfully slow. I don't know what to do, as I start Firefox simply opening a website will take twenty seconds before Pentadactyl lets me type. Chro

Yes, in that regard it works exactly like a pyramid scheme. The point where people realize they have been duped the whole thing falls apart and only those who gamed the system profit. The majority will lose everything they invested.
