Logical, but probably not the case; surveys matching career stage and field put the male-female wage gap on the order of 10%, which is in line with these results. (I forget the exact amount; it's likely to be a little more.)

The STEM label mushes together computing fields and engineering, which have high pay and demand for jobs, with the sciences, which to be completely honest with you don't pay that great and have about a twenty to one candidate to job ratio. What would the result be like if we split them, I wonder?

I'm not saying that Kinect did this already, but I'm going to heavily imply it with the first clause of this sentence.

It's a SIGINT network without borders. Welcome to the globalisation of national security.

If by "astroturf" you mean "readers genuinely confused by a tersely written article and report", then yes. Why are Slashdotters so quick to conclude that Slashdotters are all corporate shills? You would think that Slashdotters of all people would know that Slashdotters aren't.

Shouldn't that be worded "vulnerabilities will have increased 100%, assuming this trend continues" and not "vulnerabilities have increased 100%"? At any rate I'm sure you're right that it's what the article author meant.

From your sarcasm, I'm going to assume that you'd rather that AIDS was characterised as a disease of gay people and minorities who should therefore be ostracised, it wasn't spoken about, and where its very existence was denied?

That's what happened in the 1980s and it caused the fucking problem in the first place.

It's a technical term, so in its actual context it's very clear. As for lay accounts, they will generally explain what it means.

Not sure you know how evolution works.

There are five viruses that cause EVD, only one of which is actually called "ebola".

It's exactly as many syllables as "ebola" but carries more information, what's not to like?

Where do you think the X-Files got it from in the first place?

I can't see where the 100% figure comes from. The report says that IE attacks hit a record high in exploited zero-days in the first half of 2013, but they're now much lower.

No, power density, the Google spec is for watts per unit volume. It's an extremely important specification.

I'm not too concerned about their stock price, I'm concerned about their cash flow and the future of the business.
