That's because it's a non point. There are enough real assholes to make everyone's life miserable.I am still not clear if she is complaining about office behavior or gamer/forumite behavior but either way there's big reality checks she isn't cashing.

If she is talking about office behavior what she is describing is completely mind bogglingly unbelievable. You could be the Axeman( oh lets be PC Axeperson) letting go an entire office/branch/corporate subentity and not get the kind of blowback she is talking about.

If you are talking about gamers/game forums, lol welcome to internet gaming. I can't count how many times I have had people tell me they would rip off my head and shit down my neck.

So when you say men don't take it seriously, you might want to add that men don't take it seriously when it's directed at them as well.

Speaking of Reality checks, I decided to do one, https://www.google.com/search?...

You know how many news results actually had gamers assaulting or attacking developers ?
NONE !!!!!
NONE !!!
NONE !!!

If this woman is actually concerned about her safety it's likely she would be thousands times more effective, campaigning to improve driver education and road safety in her community.

All the Raspberry Pi in a gameboy box stories you could ever want.

You have to wonder what the progression of these will be

Raspberry Pi does Coleco Football

Raspberry PI does Merlin

Probably not this

Seeing as people are still selling and making new ones and I am sure the people doing so actually guard their rights.

wasn't all that interesting the first round, just how many raspberry pin a cutesy box stories are needed ?

You need to see the movie. I highly doubt that the DHS used it as propaganda.

Actually you have an excellent example there. Networking/communication is much more sensitive to reliability issues than performance issues especially for long distance links. This may help you understand, ask yourself how many people who already have broadband will derive significant benefit from having the amount of available bandwidth increased by a factor of 10 ? Then ask yourself how many people would significantly benefit from having their reliability increased by a factor of 10 ?

Now you also have to ask yourself if you are running 10 times the traffic through one of these links, just how much more impact will downtime have ?

Engineering is always about balancing your choices against each other, in this case you have to think a little about just where this might actually be used. For the communication application it needs niches, where it can outperform traditional fiber, AND existing line of sight communication links.

Hope that helps you understand why so many things you see being touted as the nicest thing since slice bread and will be everywhere in a few years, never amount to much of anything. If it doesn't see if you can find an archive of old popular science/mechanics/scientific american magazines from 20-40 years ago and look at what they were thinking would be the next big thing. Is anyone even thinking about producing a nutcracker vtol ? http://forum.keypublishing.com...

I thought that was an exceptionally silly idea when it used in Captain America Winter Soldier. Is Armin Zola running the DHS ?

The overreach of this goal, is very worrisome. Especially when you consider that the inevitable failures will likely result in its promoters just doubling down on what they claim it needs to work.

Pretty well actually

They are currently in widespread use

The real question is just how much improvement would you get with the new system under inclement conditions. The other big question is how they fare against microwave links.

Hold it, don't we have that ? I am fairly certain is congress's job to gum up the entire society.

and the only ones that looked remotely practical was the laser weapon and remote sensing requiring high power high focus.

Using lasers for freespac communications is already very practical and well solved, just look at this example

http://esc.gsfc.nasa.gov/267/2... (BTW definitely one of the better uses of NASA's budget. )

All the other mentioned applications also have off the shelf solutions that perform exceptionally well. The weapons and high power remote sensing however while listed last seem to have the most to gain. Being able to generate a waveguide in either case solves their two big problems atmospheric distortion and the need to focus large amounts of laser energy on a small point.

If you are in management and the entire office is giving you death threats, it might just be that you are doing something wrong.

Your data seems to contradict other people's data that women don't like to talk about these incidents.

I am sorry we went from one proposition, that everyone or the vast majority were the problem, to the proposition that there are few bad apples.

These are mutually exclusive propositions. You can't be both just a few bad apples and the entire industry at the same time.

Is there a recognizable subgroup on the planet that doesn't catch shit for being who they are ?

Just how annoying is this person that she generates that kind of hate ?

I have worked with/under/and above women and the only time I have ever seen anyone get this kind of reaction, male or female is when it is provoked or the people perpetrating it were a few punch cards short of a program.

Aren't you the little godling. What's your stuff is your natural right to control and have the state punish those that abuse that right, but for people that create the things you enjoy it's an artificial privilege. Then you go around saying that a system that is producing most of the worlds entertainment should be discarded just so people can have things they didn't contribute to the creation of ?
