you will find your beagle's battery...difficult to user service...when depleted.

A few doggie treats and a quick nap on the porch is all the user service she needs.

"Sniffing and tracking"? My seven year old beagle does those things and has much longer battery life.

Call me when you're bluetooth device can fetch a tennis ball.

Man, that's horrible. What part of the world has ISPs with 40GB data limits?

- New Zealand.

Yeah, but on the plus side, you get to live in New Zealand. I'm not sure I wouldn't trade my higher data limit for a chance to live over there. I've never been there, but it looks like a wonderful place.

So... that English woman who was Born in 1815 "invented coding"... hmmm.

You really don't know who Ada Lovelace is, do you?

Never mind. I see in a later post that you're in Canada. Do you mind me asking, is this a rural area or a metropolitan area?

Oh, and GO BLACKHAWKS.

And with my monthly data quota of about 40GB

Man, that's horrible. What part of the world has ISPs with 40GB data limits?

coding... yes, its "masculine"!

Funny, nobody told the woman who invented coding.

I can name several women programmers: Ada Lovelace

You mean the first programmer?

It's such a masculine profession that it was started by a woman.

UK & Greece: no porn and no money.

I'm sick of all this social engineering. I just want to barf.

You mean social engineering like this?

Nobody told this silly female: http://boingboing.net/2015/05/...

Coding jobs can be easily outsourced to wherever the going rate for labor is cheapest. Google's "coder shortage" seems completely imaginary.

Not imaginary - a concerted effort to drive down labor costs.

heard this last millennium: little boys want a place to 'perform', while little girls want a place to 'relate'.

Um, yeah. About that: http://boingboing.net/2015/05/...

Utter nonsense. Yes, in some cases that may be the effect, but it's certainly not the design.

The "design" doesn't matter in this case. The biggest companies in the world are ignoring that design.

By design, boards of directors are intended to serve the same role that elected political representatives do for citizens of a nation; to represent the interests of the voters.

Don't we have enough evidence that when the corrupting influence of money gets enough, elected political representatives no longer represent the interest of the voters?

That just indicates that regulators are not making the fines large enough. If regulators want to use financial penalties, they have to make them large enough that bad actions are unprofitable.

That's not going to happen as long as the regulators are former bankers. There's a revolving door between regulatory agencies and the industries they regulate.

We have to evaluate the system we have, not the ideal or the system we wish we had. This is late-stage capitalism and we have to evaluate it on it's merits.

Look in s housewares store in Europe it's full of pressure cookers! It's Socialists who use them! Red blooded Americans don't dare use them because it's the road to Communism!
