Comment Re:Your conclusions are invalid. (Score 2, Funny) 216

It is heresy to even suggest that there are biology driven gender specific behaviors. Everything bad in the world is because boys are socialized incorrectly. Don't worry though, social science ( nee studies ) professors are retooling our schools as we speak!

I'll just leave this here:

No evidence required. If you are making the reverse claim, that women are just as interested in math and physics as men, then evidence is required.

IOW:
Men and Women are different biologically. Doesn't mean we can't socialize men into wearing skirts, but it DOES mean we cannnot *socialize* men into having the same ability to empathize that women have. This has been accepted as fact since before the first beer was brewed. The extraordinary claim is nurture, not nature and so far all I've seen is giant leaps of logic and circular reasoning to back up that claim. Most of the nature crowd just keeps repeating that their ideology is "well grounded in science" as if we will all accept it eventually. Oh, and write blogs intended to discredit actual "I don't have an agenda" science. When they're cornered in debate with an actual intelligent person they fall back on "well, that's not relevant here" bullshit.

The fact that they get so furious when you don't believe with them is like a big "I joined a cult" sign.

That pat answer again? Apples and Oranges...

Get this into your head: The fucking kernel is the fucking kernel alright? It is one fucking thing. Yes, people refer to it as a "monolithic kernel" to contrast with a "microkernel" but , it is one fucking thing. Got it? Next time someone complains about the monolithic design of systemd and you feel the words "but the kernel..." welling up in your throat, just slap yourself until you start to remember words like "context" ok?

No one thinks udev is PID 1 , but there are people who think POS is so integrated it might as well be. Calling udev PID 1 is just people trying to win an argument. Like "debunking" a bunch of "myths" no one holds while ignoring real and valid complaints. It's about WINNING for them.

"Systemd is what happens when inexperienced people with high IQ fly off on a tagent without engineering ability."

Exactly. There is no doubt that he's a very smart person who can code, but his ideas suck. Dependencies, political pressure, and inexperienced young windows refugees are why we are where we are now...
