I can see it now, teachers keeping boys from their CS class because otherwise they'd have a bad ratio. Screw you, politically correct asshole social engineering feminists!

Fuck this. Quotas in order to solve supposed social problems do more harm than good.

I am a Robot!

It's not like bandwidth is expensive any more, GIMP can easily put up its own FTP server. I'd rather see it as bittorrent and maybe that will happen. In any case, sourceforge has outlived its utility, and is being run into the ground.

Since when does an OSS community abandon an entire segment of the population just because Microsoft makes a commercial decision? I hope there's a fork and some group continues to support XP.

I mean, it doesn't have any authentication or authorization methods at all. What's wrong with these Europeans? It's not my fault they didn't guard their router configs...

My understand is, that at least in Cambridge, Verizon doesn't want to pay to support public access television. Comcast already pays lots of $$ to CCTV (hence their nice shiny offices in a nice new building). Not sure I blame them. But this deadlock has gone on for over a decade. It's time it was broken, and FiOS arrive in the city.

You don't know what you're talking about. [generic troll]

yeah, it's 1/3 the size of a 9mm bullet.

If these cold be produced in large quantities and were cheap enough, I wonder how well we could progress in the creation of antimatter. If we could do so, and could improve the penning trap so that the antimatter could be kept for a long time, then many problems with space travel would be solved.

It is not the drug (desomorphine) that kills, it is the impurities, mostly silica put into the codeine pills to poison people who try to make illicit drugs out of them. It is the government that is killing people by requiring these adulterants.

There Internet (Arpanet) existed before WWW. WWW is a subset of the Internet.

It's not the Internet without the USA. Sure, take and do what you want, filter all and so forth, but once you disconnect the USA, in its entirety, from your little country's network then it is not the Internet. I am not saying this to condone or damn NSA surveillance; I am just stating the facts.

thank you for pointing this out. too many wymmyn want to use this incident as ammunition in their war against men, truth be damned (yeah I have been to Salem many times and survived the tourist trap to find the history).

Living in Massachusetts, I can tell you that Mass Hysteria is a very real disease.
