if we can get women coding, the pool of applicants is much larger and we don't have to permit more H1-B visas to get that effect. Which is great for our financials.

which reminds me, I thought their motto was "do no evil"?

it's more likely this will confuse girls into thinking it's cool and then them following it for a while, as opposed to actually organically developing an interest in it.
My mother was telling me I liked things that weren't true until I was 27 and figured out "mom, I don't like that. why do you keep saying that I do? I'm the expert on me, not you." If a grownup had told me I actually wanted to play with Barbies, so I should play with Barbies, I would have gotten really confused because I trusted them to not lie to me, ever, because my parents didn't, and my parents didn't because they wanted a deeper relationship with me and lying gets in the way of that.

I'll also throw in that no amount of conditioning or marketing could have gotten me to play with Barbies. The DARTA race track set did stuff and went fast, I could build things with K'Nex that looked intrinsically 'neat' to me, and I had opportunities to play with Barbie and the immediate question the girls couldn't answer was "but what do you DO with them?" "dress up" "no that's TO them. what do I do WITH them after they're dressed?" (None of us knew about "taking clothes off" so that was out of the question...)

I know for a fact this was my personal interest not developed from stereotypes in commercials (the only shows I was allowed to watch were Winnie the Pooh and Mr. Roger's neighborhood and you know what kind of commercials played on PBS back then? yeah. those kind.) but agendites categorize me as "an outlier" and "most boys just like guns because movies and stuff" ignoring "but I can shoot something and knock it off the table from way over there and no one will know it's me". I never learned that in a movie, I saw it happen, and I was enthralled, not because a dude-friend did it, but because IT was cool.

I view the agendites as people who have compromised their pursuit of truth and replaced it with a pursuit of forcing boys and girls into situations that simply might not interest them. They do this to "average out" the chemical polarities of gender; what they should do is simply try to redefine the stereotype and remove the pressures to conform. Making girls do what these people consider to be 'boy things' removes pressures 15 years down the road. For example, removing the pressures would have allowed me to let the hot highschool girl decorate me with makeup every time I came over instead of once; but even that was simply that I needed a girlfriend to kiss and not some confused identity thing.

rats, good point

oh. weird.

no, I studied electrical engineering at a school that's probably ranked much higher than yours, and advanced semiconductor fundamentals was my second favorite class, and embedded microcontroller design was my 3rd favorite class.

in addition if what these clowns said were worth listening to, I wouldn't achieve lower idle battery drain by setting a low max-screen-off-frequency.

the fun of trolling is riding the line between legitimate and absurd. you can't tell with the best trolls. that's what makes them the most exciting

sorry bro you're in the wrong country then LOL

-1, VOTE DOWN!!! >:O because I disagree
also I use troll, flamebait, and redundant liberally to quench well reasoned opinions that I disagree with.

yeah, that's not why they have Tizen

1-3% of which was spent on the shovel ready jobs.
and of that money, at least in my state, it was dumped into repaving a road nobody drives, that was repaved just 10 years prior.

the problem is they don't employ somebody like me to drive around all day and figure out which ones needs fixing and which don't. There's a lot of highways that get repaved but were originally paved so well that even after 15 years, scratched and scuffed and noisy as the asphalt is, it's still 100% operable and, in fact, safer in wet weather than newly paved roads. That money could be spent converting our other roads that need repaving every 2 years to concrete.

it sounds like we should be doing more roads with tolls instead of this "well, maybe we need it. oops, guess we didn't"

we already account for weight. heavy vehicles cost more to run because of poor gas mileage.

then how are we supposed to do it?

what? This is the days of google chrome where every update is "significant"
