Its "our" fault that we don't magically undo a hundred thousand years of evolution and make every woman think being in tech is cool and make them want to do all the same things as men.

Its "our" fault that women and men are different.

Can someone please explain to me WHY WE HAVE TO HAVE EQUAL REPRESENTATION WHEN WOMEN AREN'T FRAKING INTERESTED IN THE JOB.

Oh wait ... you know why? Because they can treat women to lower pay thanks to the required time off for most who want to have children not being able to dedicate every hour of the day to working their fingers to the bone like males can in most cases.

Yes, as a white male you are automatically a racist sexist homophobe on the verge of a hate crime. Its in our DNA apparently ...

No, they don't, they just have a monopoly on getting caught often. We get caught less because we're better at it. It generally takes a traitor for us to get caught.

Win32 refers to an API, not a address bus bit width.

64 bit apps use the Win32 API, just with 64 bit pointers.

Yea, this is a great thing to teach our kids ... do things you can't afford to do, and force someone else to pay for it or beg for money to do so.

WTF happened to running a balanced budget and setting a good example to our kids about living within their means, why the fuck are we teaching them in elementary school that you can depend on someone else to give you hand outs to survive.

Its no wonder the rest of the world likes to take our jobs, we're raising a bunch of dependent babies.

GIRLS DON'T FUCKING LIKE COMPUTER SCIENCE, GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

Its not because all men in it are assholes, its BECAUSE THEY DON'T FUCKING LIKE IT. They are wired differently than men, this is a KNOWN AND ACCEPTED FACT to anyone who doesn't have political correctness shoved so far up their ass they can taste it.

Women do somethings better than men, and like some things men don't like, and dislike some things that men like ... conversely, Men do some things better than women, like things women don't like and dislike some things that men like.

YES THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS, but those are tiny number and you don't change everything because someone who doesn't even DO CS work thinks there should be more women in CS work.

Men and women ARE NOT EQUAL. STOP TRYING TO PRETEND THEY ARE.

If you think men and women are 100% equal, then you haven't paid attention to even basic anatomy.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, I'm saying they aren't the same and its fucking stupid to keep shoving shit down the throats of one of the sexes just to appease some douche who things he's crusading for the good of all women.

Pardon my ignorance, but who does that anymore? The Cisco phones I've seen have a menu (small one, but its there) that you can see caller id, time and length of each message and select it directly.

I'm an iPhone user, so I have visual voice mail and wouldn't even consider using anything that didn't.

Doesn't Android do something like visual voicemail as well?

And of course, as you said, there is Google Voice if you really do have a shitty phone/phone service, GV will take care of your shitty phone service and provider.

I just really don't understand anyone that doesn't have something like visual voice mail.

He didn't provide a good reason. Sure, sometimes IMs make sense, but not for any serious discussion. If you think you can have a serious discussion over IM you have some serious social issues and I'm fairly certain you do it poorly.

I work at a phone company. No one has a desk phone, we all have desk phone numbers, we just forward them to our cells. We provide specific features to our customers for having virtual office numbers that work with their cell phones in a nice way.

You also seem to fail to recognizes that a great many companies subsidize cell phones, and all the ones without office phones either provide a cell phone or subsidize the employees. Most just subsidizes the employee phones so that can get what they want.

So your company either does something that legally/procedurally prevents them from being allowed to do so, or your company is just ignorant of the world around them. Not sure which, but if your system doesn't allow forwarding you are NOT the norm. I'm guessing you're required to be at your desk during the entire work period, in which case there isn't any need to forward it somewhere, IS THERE?

So you work for a stupid company who allows that sort of shit to happen, stop telling me about how other companies behave, you don't know how they behave, clearly.

Congratulations, you just caught up to what was available in 2001 for free.

Oh so you're just one of those irresponsible assholes who thinks he's special, sorry I wasted my time responding.

Great job at drawing retarded conclusions guys.

Turning off desktop phone voicemail BECAUSE EVERYONE USES A CELL PHONE and has their office number forwarded to that anyway does not mean people aren't using voicemail.

But hey, don't take the extra three seconds to ask why they were not using it or anything.

No, we don't KNOW that. You seem to fail to understand both science and history.

We have observed indications that we're producing far more CO2 than is being consumed. We've extrapolated that out to a theory that we're causing AGW.

That doesn't mean we know that to be true, because we do not know, it's a fucking theory. They call it that for a reason. Thats where you fail at the science portion.

Your history failure revolves around the fact that your ignorant of the countless number of times that our science has been flat out wrong even though the conclusions drawn from our observations were sound. Do you have any idea why? Because the physical world reacts based on countless bits of matter interacting with each other and exchanging energy, and only an idiot doesn't recognize that it is physically impossible for us to observe all these interactions, let alone model them.

We have no direct observations from prehistory, only observation of the results, from which we speculate on what happened. We've been wrong on pretty much everything we thought we knew about the past ... Repeatedly.

You have to be a mindless pleb to not recognize how little confidence you should have in historical information derived from indirection information especially when it keeps being "corrected".

Your treating the science of AGW as a religion not science.

You were just shown many citations that rapid climate change happens without people producing CO2. You have absolutely NO IDEA WHY those events happened, yet your positive we know why this one is and it's not the same as before. That makes you look pretty stupid. Your just as bad as the climate change deniers, absolutely the same.

You're doing nothing but hurting the entire discussion with your ignorance.

So a company that has always lost large sums of money, is not getting any better at losing less money ... and has always depending on funding to just pay the rent ... raised a 0.5 billion dollars ... to go up against a company that has track record of doing things well and is so profitable it has like 700 billion dollars in the bank ...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Someone just lost have a billion dollars because Apple can do the same thing spotify does with that money ... and then do it another 1399 times while Spotify is wondering what ran over them. Its not a contest.

People buy quality hardware? People who don't want to use a shitty OS thrown on random hardware with half assed drivers that cause regular crashes?

When will you people ever understand that it's not 'Just a PC', it's a well engineered package.

If you think people buy macs only to write software for Apple devices then you don't seem to have any experience with those devices and probably shouldn't comment on them.

No. Stop being a cheap ass and buy the tools required for the job. Do you sit around and bitch because you can't put your DVD into a CD player and get video?

If you are too cheap to buy a Mac and use the right tools, than neither Apple or OS X or iOS users want your software, you'll almost certainly do it wrong and try to throw a Windows or Linux looking UI and UX conventions on your app and it will most certainly not fit in.

Again, no Apple user wants the shitty Windows or Linux 'I invented my own UX guidelines' crap your likely to try and push. Apple users don't like crappy half assed ports, they want apps that feel native which you can't possibly make since you have no clue what native and intuitive are.

... Well there isn't much I your post that's correct.

Red hat certainly didn't "make" the things you mentioned, they contributed to them, and in most causes were not the biggest contributor.

Second, you don't know shit about how red hat the business makes money. The majority of their income comes from investments they made based on income during their IPO.

Red Hat isn't a Linux company any more. It's an investment organization that also sells some Linux support.

Being publicly traded company this is all public record if you bothered to look.

If they hadn't invested from their IPO, they'd be out of business by now.

The irony with Christians hating evolutionary development and the story of our cosmos is that Christians are mostly the ones who discovered or verified the data. They freak the fuck out if you point out that they took a metaphor and treated it as literal and factual when it was never meant that way.

There is nothing you can do to fix the ignorant that refuse to learn.

You can't convince them that a Catholic postulated the Big Bang Theory, but tell them God created the earth in "7 days" and they'll eat it up. You can't even define days without the light, and that wasn't there for until the Sun was formed on the 4th fraking day!

Not implying Darwin was a Christian either, but plenty of Christian scientists have verified and agreed with his theories or helped refine him.

If your going to teach religion in science class, it's just as appropriate in English, Math, or home economics. I.e. It doesn't belong in any of them

If you're trying to use 2 AA batteries to power a 2.7v device, you're just stupid. You don't get to blame the semiconductor company and the laws of physics for your inability to make a design that functions.

Rechargable AA cells NEVER REACH 1.35v to start with.

You're essentially bitching about the fact that you under power the device because of a bad design.

Or use the 1.8v version of the device.
