A summary, for those who were fortunate enough to miss this:

1. Dude wears a shirt with scantily-clad women. Some people say it's kinda sexist.
2. Dude sincerely apologizes. Those who complained accept.
3. Everyone moves on. Lessons learned. Yay! Pretty comet pictures!
4. LOL just kidding. A bunch of "supporters" who won't STFU see this is a great opportunity to attack straw feminists and comment on every single article mentioning the mission. Those who objected to his shirt, typically women scientists/engineers, are slandered as "taking away from his accomplishments" despite writing about this mission for, in some cases, years. Assholes start an Indiegogo campaign to buy him, specifically, a watch for being "bullied," which is forcing him to deal with a situation he's clearly ready to move on from. MRA and GamerGate types congregate, attacking and doxxing anyone who had the slightest of problems with his shirt.

So of course we have folks on /. pretending that a handful of articles about a shitty T-shirt and a subsequent "forced" apology show that lolfeminists, even those with PhDs in relevant, don't care about this mission.

That's cool.

But next time, you can just say "I'm a libertarian."

Stenography for coding:

Ta-da!

Because humans react faster than computers?

Erm...people watch it on their computers? So it's...tech-related?

Did you even read what he said? Or did you just seize up with anger when you read the word "government"?

I mean, he gave a thoughtful comment pointing out that this system is probably the cheapest way of dealing with the move to digital records. Why did you then respond with "Herp derp! Government sucks!"

You libertarians don't seem to even care if your rants are on topic these days.

I get that we don't like the NSA around here, but why are we bringing it up when discussing an article that has nothing to do with anything the NSA does? What's the thinking process? "Hrm, this scam is slimy. Oh hey! The NSA is slimy too!"

Am I missing something?

Yeah! Fuck the third world! Fuck free access to information! I want my pages to look pretty and load marginally faster!

And we'd all get to pay for this content. No thanks. I have some issues with the Internet, but I'm rather okay with it the way it is.

Playing the way he is will lead to news stories, which will lead to better ratings.

Half the time I try Fedora, yum introduces something that keeps it from booting. No other distro breaks in such a spectacular way for me.

Hopefully, this new development model with introduce just a bit more stability. With Red Hat behind it, Fedora should be a premier distribution I can recommend to others. In the meantime, I'll stick with recommending Ubuntu, Mint, and openSUSE to those who don't mind doing some repo configuration for non-free stuff.

How in the world is "trans" stupid and infantile? Wouldn't adding "nny" to the end of it make it sound more juvenile?

Not all gay people find the word "fag" offensive, but enough do that polite people recommend against using it. If you're as polite as you claim to be, perhaps you should follow suit or at least not whine when others object to its use.

Considering how regularly and spectacularly biology fucks up, wouldn't it be more surprising if cross-sex fuck-ups didn't happen? Intersex people do exist, after all.

The brain and the body are masculinized/feminized at different times in the womb. An in-womb hormone mess-up could cause transsexualism and/or an intersex condition.

A trivial amount of investigation would reveal that trans man/woman/person are the preferred terms. More descriptive than tranny, sufficiently "memorable," whatever that means, and completely inoffensive.
