All the STEM graduates in the world aren't worth shit if there is no art, fiction, and music to inspire them, history for them to draw on, or philosophy to drive them to contemplate things in new ways.

The problem is "microbrew" in america is pretty synonymous with an absolutely rip-snortingly insane amount of hops, you may as well just put a bunch in a blender and add ethanol.

Masses of microbrewed hop-juice with asinine add-ins aren't much better.

Go play Quake 2, SiN, or pretty much any notable classic game. The problem isn't that it's too hard to make a satisfyingly meaty game by hand, the problem is that companies have gotten used to fucking people over by shipping barely functional boxes full of shit and bloom that have less meaningful content than expansion packs used to come with.

is the same is saying we should not allow people to lock their cars/houses because criminals might hide something behind a locked door.

He'd probably also be horrified that poor whites, women, and blacks could vote. There's a reasonable argument to be made about the intentions of the founders, but keep things in check.

Sunset provisions on the restrictions of rights are good, we should always err towards the side of greater liberty*. If an exception to a law like the DMCA is approved which increases citizens' liberty (jailbreaking phones, timeshifting media, etc) then that exception shouldn't have a sunset date. A restriction of citizens' rights on the other hand such as the DMCA itself should.

*Shouting fire in a theater, public health risks like measles or krokodil, can be reasonably argued as net reductions in liberty due to their net effect.

Yeah surely the fact that medical bills constitute the largest single source of bankruptcy in this country, even with most of those people having medical insurance, is proof that people fucked up spending too much. Those idiots shouldn't have gotten hit by a drunk driver, or sick, or hurt...

Higher resolutions cost easily as much in performance as 4xaa genius.

Sticker shock was my reaction as well. My old HD5870 is only now starting to have unacceptably low performance in some of the games I play, and spending around $300 will probably keep me set for another 4-5 years easily.

If it fails while still being inside of tolerances then by definition you need to change your tolerances.

You bolded the wrong section there chief.

It's exactly what she's saying. She's erasing women's accomplishments so far, speaking over and silencing women actually in tech, and insisting that women are such weak and fragile eggshells that they must be pandered to because they just can't succeed even in an environment where they're nothing but a screenname and the quality of their code.

Thinkgeek has pretty much already been that for years now. Most of their stuff is amazingly overpriced shitty chinese "geek-ish" flavored bullshit. My local hardware and army/navy surplus stores do a better job of catering to actual nerds than thinkgeek does.

are busy writing articles calling bullshit on non-coders like Sumana who do nothing but insult and degrade women by talking about how feckless and vulnerable they are.
