you get payed to do work not to go clubbing.
Why do you even give a fuck?

The ones now complaining about how risky it is to rely on open-source software are exactly thos thousands of companies who just use open-source and never give anything back, usually not even provide a patch ever. It is not the fault of open-source it is the fault of greedy assholes who just take, never give back and then complain and bash.

Some probably adolescent script kiddies with an ego by far exceeding their intelligence try to play digital lynch mob.
What pathetic little cunts.
Not for the first time showing how much worse than individual stupidity their collective stupditiy can be.

this sums up the facts rather well, thank you.

i find it interesting what you write here because this (the pressure from other women, behavior from other males) is not what I have experienced in the european countries where I have been at all. The problem there mostly is that women (statistically) just are not interested in the topic, just as they are not interested in e.g. electrotechnics.
Now we could argue endlessly why that would be: is it in the genes? is it the upbringing? is it how these fields are portrayed in culture? I don't know, but the fact of the matter is that women, on average, just simply do not want this kind of job. And when I talk to some of them now, after I had this job, as a male, for a couple of decades, I think they might have a point.

So lets have some discrimination of boys to fix it!

Makes perfect sense.

that would be true and I would fully agree if you would write the year before the month. I would immediately change my mind about this if everyone would write dates year, then month, then day, or just month, then day or just day.

it matters in all contexts where it is not clear from the outset if the date was written following the dumb US convention or how nearly everyone else on this world does it.
Although, personally I would actually even prefer the MM-DD convention when it would only be used with the ISO way to write dates: YYYY-MM-DD which should really be the only way how anyone writes down dates.

I guess that is also why you write down "seventeen" as 710? oh wait ...

even more idiotic than using absurd units like F, inches, miles and ounces.
You are embarrassing yourself, US.

How can secretly accessing the private information of the people accessing the web site NOT be illegal? Where are you living? You need some decent laws over there, if it really is not illegal to do this.

Well in all the countries I have lived and worked so far (not the US) this would clearly be illegal. How is it not illegal in your country? Did you inform the police?

paper? you are kidding, right?

Why should I get excited about something written by a journalist where there must be something writeen by scientists? Where is the PDF of the scientific paper to download?

they are totally within their rights of being that lame, of course, but they chose to be totally lame here.
Ah well, good for BitBucket.
