So telling someone to suck it up is a valid response now.
If I told women to suck it up that they didn't get a job they were qualified for people would jump down my thought to call me a misogynist. Grow up you aren't special and you should be judged based upon your ability to perform, not what sex or skin color you are.
The "system" has been discriminating against women for a long, long time. So now people are doing something about it and assholes like you get in the way and play the victim.
Well fuck you, and fuck your attitude.
Have you seen what most chess players look like? Left out the "naked' on purpose.
I like big chess and I cannot lie.
Good, those costumes aren't the least bit sexist. (And if you can't tell this is sarcasm I suggest you check out the costumes.)
Good job Australia, nice to see you keeping your end up and your standards low.
Suck it up princess.
No true Englishman would use a teabag.

Which is why they need a book.
Is this so hard to understand? They're in over their heads and they need a hand.
The network is part of the system.
SAs had better understand networking, I don't expect/demand Cisco certs, but basic understanding of networking is a requirement of the job.
I deal with systems administrators of large corporations on a daily basis, there are lots of really excellent administrators who really know their stuff and frequently teach me something when we interact.
However, and unfortunately, there is also a significant group who don't know TCP from UDP (etc.). This is the group this book is for.
As someone who read the first book when it came out 19 years ago, (and most of the subsequent ones... I eventually gave up) I have trouble sitting through more than a single episode.
However, I'm told that the problem I have with the books declining quality was significantly less of an issue with the series.
.. they'r.e not becoming acidic, they're becoming less alkaline and are slowly heading towards neutral.
Perhaps they've changed things in the 20+ years since I took my last chemistry class, but "becoming less alkaline" is pretty much the definition of "becoming more acidic".
[......] just can't get the hang of that awful, awful Mac wrapper around the supposedly Linux core.
There's no Linux core to OSX - it's some type of BSD. But i agree, OSX is horrible, like Ubuntu's Unity.
That old misunderstanding will never go away.
OK fine, Q&A website nazis. Happy?
The point is that there are plenty of pickle-up-the-ass power tripping assholes on stack overflow who quash useful questions and answers (aka discussions) just to flex their authoritative muscle and prove their superiority in their own minds.
There appear to be two significant groups of contributors, those who are genuinely there just to help out and the power trippers. I feel kind of sad for the power trippers.
There's a semantic gap between "secular democracy" and "not quite as fucked as Turkey".
Mature technologies are proven. They've gone through their growing-pains. They may have limitations, but those limitations and workarounds are usually well known by seasoned professionals. There's a reason why COBOL, Fortran, and RPG are still in use in business applications almost sixty years after their initial development, because they reliably work.
I've tried to work with NodeJS projects for production. It's a nightmare. NodeJS itself is revised too often, the actual project is revised too often, and the dependencies became a nightmare. It's not mature enough and not worth it.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I thought you'd find it funny to know that IBM is now building products with NodeJS. (And other even more exotic bleeding edge stuff...)
She's a lawyer.
I can neither confirm nor deny, that I may, or may not have never won an argument.
