We can't even decide what is morally correct between ourselves as human beings. Take abortion for example...

Which was nice...

Most users doing most end user stuff prefer using iPads instead. Who is the target audience for Ultrabooks?

A 256GB HD, 4GB RAM, and a low resolution display just doesn't cut it for brand new hardware these days. It's rare (and expensive!) to find Ultrabooks with better specs than this.

Ultrabooks look nice - but if they're less powerful than my current hardware, why would I want to change?

We have repeated cases of people going to court to dispute 'fair use', which shows that it is not well defined enough for humans to get right, let alone automated bots.

Lay down specific rules for 'fair use' and then you can write an algorithm to respect those rules.

(Just don't let RIAA/MPAA dictate the rules.)

And will you still be supporting their actions when you find your own personal bank details on that list?

Seriously - this just causes hassle for *everyone*, and is not a good way to drum up support for your ill-defined and unfocussed protest.

"Into Eternity" (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/nov/11/into-eternity-film-review), which documents the staggering engineering requirements of creating a nuclear bunker designed to last a million times longer than any man made object ever created.

The scale of the work involved is almost beyond comprehension. And a hard disk is just a fraction of that work.

It will blow your mind.

Hmmm...interesting. I tried ordering a couple of films about 6 months ago, and got a message from Amazon saying they were unable to ship the product to my specific region. But it seems to work OK now.

Is this a recent development?

Has only a limited range of choice in New Zealand.

Will not ship DVDs or CDs to New Zealand.

Tell me more about this 'plethora' of legally accessible media in New Zealand. Sounds like Kim Dotcom was providing a service where there is demand, but no supply.

Look at the responses to this story from a couple of weeks ago:

http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/06/19/2028229/womens-enrollment-in-computer-science-correlates-negatively-with-net-access

Now tell me that the majority of Slashdot commenters aren't complete douches.

Has anyone bothered to ask women directly why they chose not to do Computer Science?

You know, rather than just guessing...

Seriously - has anyone surveyed a good cross section of women to ask why they are not interested in IT?

I'm sure there are a couple of women reading this site - could you tell us why you decided to go into IT (assuming you are), and why your friends aren't?

Basically, every time these stories get posted, we get hundreds of comments from guys trying to explain why more women aren't in IT. At no point does anyone ask women directly why they aren't in IT...

Especially in light of the UK's recent decision to block The Pirate Bay.

I wonder what the legal recourse would be if this tool found the government in your respective 'free' democratic country was blocking sites for political reasons...? Could anyone sue the UK government if they were found to be blocking sites without providing a genuine legal reason for doing so?

So many responses to this question (and previous similar questions) try to take guesses and assumptions as to why women don't choose software development as a career choice.

Has anyone thought to actually ask women directly?

I know this is Slashdot, but surely somebody somebody has done a survey of a broad spectrum of women to ask:

a) Why they never chose to do software development in the first place.
and
b) Why they wouldn't consider doing it now?
