Is this a sore subject for you? Who said these things aren't meaningful; if anything, the idea seems to be that the societal significance of these things should be emphasized to make the subjects more interesting to women. Don't you think we can convey it better than this exciting description of Civil Engineering:

A program that generally prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of structural, load-bearing, material moving, transportation, water resource, and material control systems; and environmental safety measures.

It's not about putting down the existing programs. It's about better presenting their true significance.

You know, if you really want to show your dislike for today's articles, don't post complaints and rants--just don't post. A line at the bottom of each article saying 'Read the 10 comments' at the end of the day will send a much stronger message than any number of complaints.

And there will be much fewer tedious and annoying posts to go through for those of us unfortunate enough to have mod points today.

Comment Warning (Score 1) 213

Last week a senior Amazon executive appeared before a US Senate subcommittee and warned that there would be consequences if federal regulators continued to act as a drag on its ambitions to launch a drone delivery service called Prime Air.

Ok, I can understand Amazon doing their testing elsewhere, but I'm not quite sure what the resultant consequence to the US is.
