If you want an example of real sexism, this part of your post is. It is also incorrect in my experience, some of the best programmers I know are female.

In regard to you point about targeting one particular gender group as being sexist, unfortunately society divides us at a very young age and you need to appeal to kids interests to get them involved. I'm sure there is equally as many (probably more) male targeted programming courses.

It is possible to mathematically vertifiy code (see l4, its expensive and time consuming. But for something like this it would make sense to do it once and do it right.

Whilst that is true, I don't have any say in how the software is setup and have to use it. I'm sure this is the case for many people, so it definitely is a strike against companies implementing reject or spam responses to spf.

It breaks a few mailing (discussion, not advertising) list programs (such as my uni's one) if you send from a SPF protected address because the list server forwards it with you address in the from boxs. Other then that it works well.

Great man therefore traitor to status quo != traitor to status quo therefore great man.

Because ubuntu dosen't allow new major versions to be added to a distro that has already been released.

heartbleed wasn't a bash exploit, and had nothing to do with the shell you used. The majority of linux distros had /bin/bash as their default shell.

Providing service in network blackspots comes to mind straight away (for a price of course)

That's what they have a sydney. If there is constant traffic on them you could easily walk all the way through in the opposite direction

He walked back through the exit. At Sydney domestic the exit is an unmaned automated system.

At sydney they have sensor activated doors that only open in one direction, and about three sets of them in a row. Problem is the delay on them is way to long, so people can just walk back the other way. Suitcases and turnstiles are not a good combination

Anything that uses bash is exploitable, another example of this being used is to gain root through the dhcp client...

C has goto. C has pointers. C pointers can be cast to something that is a different size... most of the disadvantages you've described seem to apply to C as well, care to enlighten me on the difference (other than bad programmers) .

Which companies? As far as I can tell the only companies that are complaining about this are other search engines or other people who compete directly with google in another area (e.g. maps).
In the case of search engines if you search for "search" Google isn't even the top result (Yahoo is...), Google is third. If you search for maps Google Maps comes first (which makes sense as it is probably the one most people link to on websites), followed immediately by whereis. As far as I can tell Google isn't intentionally manipulating the results there products are just more popular so get more links and are hence ranked higher (which is fair, this is how Google ranks everything. It is their core product.)
So in this case they appear to be in the right.

outbreak and threat do not mean the same thing. Having an outbreak significantly increases the threat (if that is seriously all you care about).
