I'd prefer poitín.

Give me a break. So tired of all this bullshit. Hey I know since Asians have higher representation than Europeans in CS, let's put them in the óppressed' pile too.

...is not a country.

Stalin must be proud

...should legaly be considered Chimpanzees.

Keep POTS around. It just works.

I am not R1b either. I am I2a2b, which is not common. But, when all of the non-R1bs are totaled as a percentage of the European native population, we're a pretty sizable lot. Enough so, that saying "most" of western Europeans are R1b is rather deceptive. As far as the 1-3 fathers, well...yes. Haplogroups generally don't converge, by diverge, so that would mean one male ancestor. But how far back? There are also times when there are near-extinction events which cause the TMRCA (time to most recent common ancestor) to move closer to the present. This has been the case with my I2a2b haplogroup, which is likely the oldest in Ireland, but still has a rather recent TMRCA and small numbers.

I can see it now, teachers keeping boys from their CS class because otherwise they'd have a bad ratio. Screw you, politically correct asshole social engineering feminists!

Fuck this. Quotas in order to solve supposed social problems do more harm than good.

I am a Robot!

It's not like bandwidth is expensive any more, GIMP can easily put up its own FTP server. I'd rather see it as bittorrent and maybe that will happen. In any case, sourceforge has outlived its utility, and is being run into the ground.

Since when does an OSS community abandon an entire segment of the population just because Microsoft makes a commercial decision? I hope there's a fork and some group continues to support XP.

I mean, it doesn't have any authentication or authorization methods at all. What's wrong with these Europeans? It's not my fault they didn't guard their router configs...

My understand is, that at least in Cambridge, Verizon doesn't want to pay to support public access television. Comcast already pays lots of $$ to CCTV (hence their nice shiny offices in a nice new building). Not sure I blame them. But this deadlock has gone on for over a decade. It's time it was broken, and FiOS arrive in the city.

You don't know what you're talking about. [generic troll]
