The international company I'm at, was talking about taking it further than this, and removing admin rights from the IT staff... Yes, I believe managment degrees need to be a Masters or PHD ABOVE what they know, not a degree to be in charge of what they don't know. Right now it's like "goto college for 2 years and qualify to be the General of our armies" Another pitfall of a truly ignorant society.

Dam straight. Oh ya, and they do have a 'make it pretty' factor left out of the equation.... :D

Commiting more time to something does not mean "they're better". I believe you misread the article? It says "Girl Gamers More Hardcore Than Guys" Notice there is no question mark... And above all else, I have to agree with someone else that says "Where's the science?" Given it's coming from a "Scientific American" reporting source.... But oh wait, it's written by a girl... Hmmm maybe in her office, because she's put more time into "writing", she is more of a "hardcore writer" than the other people there. Who needs science anyways right... ;)

I agree totally! I don't care if you're a girl, shut up about your BS irl, and do what you logged on to do, play the freakin game. I hate that about women, especially when there's voice chat involved... They in turn get the loser guys going, then all of a sudden everything is about this bi$h who joined voice chat. IF YOU GIRLS WANT TO BE WELCOMED IN A GAMING COMMUNITY, S.T.F.U. AND PLAY THE GAME, DON'T CHAT.

That's why they have more time logged. I've dated both gaming, and nongaming types of females. Non gamers, moot point... Gamer girls = constant questions, tons of manipulative gameplay when they're logged in, with anyone willing to make their gaming experience easier. And if nobody is there to do it, they whine and take it out on you... :D So yes, I could see this article being completely true, females spend more time in the game, because it takes them longer to do what guys achieve in less time. Not being sexist, but you have to consider WHAT is happening, in that time they're logged in, not that more = better. That's like saying Girls are more hardcore at $ex because they 'do it' longer. Well, is that considering hookers? :)
