I don't know what university you went to , but I had quite a number of girls in my CS classes and none of them had a problem interacting with the guys or the other girls and they all passed fine. Seems to me you've dreamt up some anti geek, anti male BS to suit your agenda.

Horseshit. Coding by its nature can be solitary activity, you don't need a "nurturing setting". You either like it and can do it or you don't and can't. Your post just sounds like a list of whining excuses for someone who wasn't up to it. Perhaps it you?

Spare me the feeble straw man attempt.

"Get your head out of your ass sometime."

I don't own a donkey. Oh, did you mean "arse"?

How come sexual discrimination seems to be a one way thing with the political classes? Can you imagine the fuss and uproar if someone dared suggest a National Center for Men & [insert vocation with not many men here]? I'm sick & tired of this hypocritical social engineering.

And? You can do that in C too - replace class with struct. However in both languages it might default to word size so better to use #pragma option to make sure it doesn't.

"If it's the NSA's job to spy on allies, why not change their damn job description or shut them down?"

Your naivety is touching. Countries have spied on their supposed allies since spying was invented - the french have almost certainly spied on the USA too. Its part of realpolitik. If you think this is new and unprecedented then its time you bought a ticket for the clue train.

They should have use AMD computers then!

"But try to take some of that away, reduce the grants, incomes and pensions to levels that the Greek economy can actually sustain, and all of Greek media starts being indignant about it, blaming Germany and Europe for all this shit."

Its much easier to blame someone else than yourself. I'd have a lot more respect for the greeks if they'd admitted they got into the eurozone by fraud and that their entire tax collection and benefits system is an unsustainable mess and needs to be fixed.

But they haven't and won't. They'll continue blaming everyone else like little children until the day comes when german turns off the money tap and then they're really fucked and no amount of whining will help them.

"I just pointed out that dbus written in C++ would be much faster then the C version: simply by avoiding the cache hits."

I read your comment and I see nothing to justify that position. Apparently you seem unaware of the existence of resizable arrays in C.

All true, except that C++ makes some things so much easier? Need a linked list of variable length strings that will be updated? vector in C++. In C you'll be rolling your own linked list and managing your own char* array memory using realloc(). Not hard for an experience C programming but still a lot messier than the C++ equivalent.

Thats quite a feat, subtracting 2005 from 2015 and getting 8. Hope you don't do IT for a living.

He registered the channel 10 years ago. Too bad if in the meantime some cosmetics firm with the same name has become successful. Perhaps every word in the english dictionary should be off limits just in case some firm comes along and wants to claim it as their own trademark eh?

Sadly that probably is the only solution. But as soon as someone did it the usual bleeding hearts would crawl out from under their fetid rocks and be out on the streets protesting.

Try a better analogy. Encryption isn't a tool whose only purpose is to kill.

You know, about that small incident in a south carolina church with a "law abiding" gun owner. Or at least he was law abiding until he shot 9 people dead.
