That's the thing though isn't it. I respect the shit out of Grace Hopper, just like I respect any man or woman that just says, hey, I'm going to do this - then buckles down and gets it done. They earn that respect instead of expecting it on account of genitalia or highly suspect historical-cultural narratives. This is unfortunately the exact opposite of the kind of woman that feminism's eternal victimhood and collectivised pressure creates.

As a kid I loved Aliens and have watched it many times since, but women like Ripley are thinner on the ground than ever before, to my lasting disappointment.

I find deep frying them all keeps them pretty fresh. ;)

Just out of mildly appalled interest, what racially sensitive questions do you imagine would commonly crop up in IT job interviews.

This is the third comment on this matter in the discussion with no upmods or replies, despite its huge importance.

This is horrifically racist.

I'm betting they have vertical control of everything except the last leg, they wait till they can fill a container up, put it on a freighter and ship it for a miniscule per-item cost, drop it off at a distribution centre owned by the same company, then hand it to the local postal service with whom they're already arranged a bulk discount.

The stupid in your post actually made me stupider, consider the possibility that you may not in fact be very smart.

Yeah, there is only one search engine. That's why it got verbed.

Seems more like they're applying internet cafe browser caching to search results. Your search terms sort of resemble a block of 10% or more of searches for terms more or less like what you entered, so here are the most popular results based on what other people were looking for.

Still beats me why reddit is getting a single pageview.

"a known convict"

So, someone who smoked a little pot. Or jaywalked when John Q Law was having a bad morning. Or was guilty of the horrible crime of getting too hot and heavy with his two weeks underaged girlfriend. Or even better was randomly accused of rape by some woman he didn't even have relations with. Or even better just had the temerity to open their mouth at an inconvenient juncture.

Or whatever.

The law is an ass and the world isn't divided into monsters and non convicts.The sooner you and the rest of the Americans get that the better off the universe will be.

Better to let ten guilty go free than wrongly punish one innocent. If everyone can check whether or not you have a criminal record and will judge you accordingly, where's the incentive not to be a recidivist? I mean everyone already thinks that's what you are. Confirmation bias is a horrible force when applied to real live people.

That comes down to whether or not the person is an ongoing menace as I said. Not to mention that someone convicted of fraud, imprisoned for fraud, who continues to engage in fraud hasn't been "fixed" by the prison system, so different approaches to rehabilitation should be looked at.

America, land of the free, where every sentence is a life sentence.

I thought UNIX/LINUX were a hardcore part of enterprise groups pretty much from the start.
