Ellen Pao looks very average to me, and I'm partial to Asians too. But whatever floats your boat.

The trap isn't suing over patents. The trap is getting you to depend on a stack that Microsoft controls. It's something they've always done, in one form or another. Embrace, extend, extinguish. In this case, they're asking others to embrace .NET.

I sold my car on Craigslist. Guy came to my home with his brother, test drove the car, and paid cash. The end.

She oscillates between fighting back and playing the victim. All you really need to know about her is that she's a compulsive liar: https://thezoepost.files.wordp...

Going on a professional victim tour to raise more money for herself? Yeah, very expensive.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, it uses the threat-of-rape trope, another of Anita's targets. But yeah, no prostitutes! You really are bad at this.

Same old bullshit. Including in those stats are people who's extent into gaming is buying Angry Birds on their smartphone or playing Farmville. Those women in general don't play shooters, don't buy the next gaming console, don't update their PC to play games, and don't read gaming journals. Anita is critiquing games that are catered to men, because that's their demographic. And she does so in completely unequal fashion, having no qualms when men are portrayed in sexists ways.

She is, of course, just a con artist riding the wave of feminism and video games while reading scripts for McIntosh. That was Jack Thompson's biggest mistake, not getting a female spokesperson.

Uses the zombie trope. Uses the young-girl-in-distress trope. Uses the poor, innocent daughter gunned down trope. Wow, I'm so glad we have you and Anita to save us from all these horrible, gritty, sexist tropes.

So Thunderf00t's videos went from being "particularly bad" to "one of the closest [that actually critique her argument]?

You should know all about that, as the last time you argued this with me you were full of them: http://slashdot.org/comments.p...

"So far, no one has been able to provide a compelling answer to why climate change seems to be taking a break. We're facing a puzzle. Recent CO2 emissions have actually risen even more steeply than we feared. As a result, according to most climate models, we should have seen temperatures rise by around 0.25 degrees Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 10 years. That hasn't happened. In fact, the increase over the last 15 years was just 0.06 degrees Celsius (0.11 degrees Fahrenheit) -- a value very close to zero. This is a serious scientific problem that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will have to confront when it presents its next Assessment Report late next year."

The referenced article this quote was taken from:

Another important topic the climate scientist mentions:

"Temperature increases are also very much dependent on clouds, which can both amplify and mitigate the greenhouse effect. For as long as I've been working in this field, for over 30 years, there has unfortunately been very little progress made in the simulation of clouds."

Keep this in mind the next time you hear, "The science is settled."

Apply it to yourself. You have said nothing beyond what I said, except to claim the contrary.

I'm not. It's a garbage word. There are plenty of garbage words that stick around for no reason other than that people like to use them in place of simpler words.

You used the word. Why did you use it? Because it's simpler and conversational and came naturally to you. People don't generally go around using the word paradigm.

I also used the word "model". Try this: The object-oriented programming model. Gee, does that not get the point across?

And there's nothing vague about simpler words and more common words versus less common words that have come into vogue. Nobody needs a clarification when you use those simpler words. I'm willing to bet at one point you said, "What the fuck's a paradigm?"

I'm not the anon, but yeah, what he said. There are a myriad number of ways to screw up memory in C and C++. But if you want to look like a moron and pretend the vast majority are just null pointers, be my guest.

And yet you instinctively fell into "style" later on, and nothing was lost by using that word. Instead, you gained in clarity of communication. You could also say "model" and it would have the same meaning. "Paradigm" is a fancy buzzword.

Lol, wut? The point of a model is to be predictive, in this case predictive within a range. If the model isn't predictive, it isn't correct. Holy shit. Did you actually learn any science in school?

It's not you being kind, it's you being a dickhead, because I explicitly acknowledged that they were segfaults "in a very trivial sense".

The point being that when a random segfault occurs in a C/C++ program, it could be anything. If you're lucky, the pointer is null. In Java this is a nuisance issue and usually trivial to track down, a typical example being you forgot to check for null when you pulled something out of a collection or similar.
