People aren't talking about the shirt. People are talking about the unjust bullying that the gender warriors engage in.

How is it any of your business what his shirt looks like?
That's why this analysis will soon be performed by robots.
Here's the info: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Rosetta+s...
Short version:
A team of sceintists and engineers spent many years and millions of dollars to land a spacecraft on a comet -- an unprecedented achievement in human history. One of the scientists wore his lucky shirt which depicted anime characters.
Feminists and gender warriors decided that landing a spacecraft on a comet wasn't important -- their supposedly hurt feelings about the pictures on the shirt were the only thing worth talking about that happened that day. Rather than telling the gender warriors to go fuck themselves (or, more appropriately, to go achieve something themselves before coming back and making demands), the scientist was forced to make a tearful apology.
In some circles, this has led to a backlash against the gender warriors. So every time anyone achieves anything significant, people say "What really matters is what kind of shirts they were wearing!" - as a reminder of the incident, and a way to contrast achievement versus entitlement.
Not to mention SMS is not reliable. SMS messages are not guaranteed, they are delivered on a "best effort" basis. Your mobile network is free to drop them on the floor and not retry if your phone moves out of signal range, the network is congested, or any other reason they feel like. This is particularly prone to happening when messages have to go across network boundaries.
Obviously the person who wrote the summary was under the mistaken belief that SMS is designed to be reliable, just like lots of people believe that email is designed to be instant...
Rather than finger-pointing, let's just stop doing those things. The finger-pointing and division and all the rest of the bullshit that goes with it is what enables these things to continue.
And depending on how it goes about it, I may have no problem with that.
Learn Ruby. It's what Perl 6 should have been — the good stuff from Perl, but cleaned up.
Then you can either go the devops/sysadmin route — both Puppet and Chef are written in Ruby — or you can go the Rails or Sinatra route and head towards web services development.
Crappy used laptops are cheap. You don't need 16. You need 4. The first one will be about done by the time you get the 4th one started.
About twice as much as a buttload.
Actually, guaranteed minimum income plans aren't a terrible idea compared to what we have now. The cost of means-tested benefits right now averages about $60000 per recipient per year in the US.
Unless they have something to hide. And they think they can get away with it.
Maybe it's just insightful.
I generally agree Jeb is unlikely to win because people don't want him, but I'm more worried than you are. If your sort of analysis could be counted on, then we could already call a Hillary loss in the general election because people don't like Hillary. She has very little to offer and probably won't be able to do anything to surprise anyone or to motivate a strong turnout.
I'd guess the most likely outcome is President Scott Walker and Vice President Marco Rubio.
Unless Democrats cross over and vote Bush in the primaries to help Hillary out. That's how we got McCain.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
