No. What prevents women from applying to the tech jobs is the amount of self-directed continuous learning that is required to succeed in this field. If that continuous education could be crammed in a one-night-per-week community college program that women can bitch/brag about on Facebook or Twitter and that would result in a formal document to add to their record, they'd flock to IT.

Also they just don't like computers, because computers are too straightforward and don't react to emotional blackmail.

Last time Al Qaeda disrupted the American economy, there was a big intelligence and military response. So what Snowden achieved is impressive; he basically destroyed IBM's business abroad (and many others) without a single soldier being deployed as a result. They could learn from him.

Here's the outcome of Mr Snowden's "whistleblowing":

- American IT companies are losing billions because foreign customers are scared
- Intelligence networks are fucked
- Nothing whatsoever has changed in the way government agencies spy on US citizens

  The guy should send his resume to Al Qaeda.

Greenpeace should get involved!

What if recent SSL exploits were just a smokescreen to allow the NSA to inject some kind of snooping backdoor in that thing. Now they require SSL everywhere to create a false sense of privacy. CONSPIRACY!

Let's boycott SSL!

Says the guy who managed to use "stupid" 3 times in his post plus threw in a "smartass" for good measure.

Something similar happened to me recently when I found the entire Airwolf series in my video collection...

Our tax dollars at work!

it's funny to see that end of the spectrum, while at the other end there's people getting fired of their low-paying job if they fail to maintain their quota of putting together 15 widgets per minute on the production line of some factory.

In the context of a discussion about changing the whole car door when a component fails you can't infer what an "electric window" is? And yet you call people stupid.

You must be a fascinating coworker.

I'm not going to track down parts, that's the dealership's problem. If they decide that it's more cost-effective to replace the door than to spend tons of man-hour fixing the failed component, it's up to them, I`m not the one paying either way.

The guy who did the job told me that more and more they do this kind of thing, replacing entire sections instead of fixing small parts because the electronics are too sensitive or something like that. I asked if the door was refurbished, he said no, they don`t send the old one back, they throw it in a container and when it`s full some local junker comes to get it.

According to Wikipedia: "Power window or electric window lifts(American English) as well as power or electric windows (British English) are automobile windows which can be raised and lowered by depressing a button or switch, as opposed to using a hand-turned crank handle."

See, you can learn amazing stuff on internet!

Out of curiosity I went to their website and did a view-source. Apparently they use Drupal. So I'm going to add them to my "Uses drupal" bookmark folder for that time when the next Drupal security exploit comes out...

Also for some reason they use jQuery 1.8. Isn't that version vulnerable to a known XSS exploit?

That thing is accurate. It's the guy with the hard hat and sunglasses that pointed wrong. I guess he was too busy trying to look cool with his ninja stance to fully focus on the target.

Of course. That's why when the electric window died on my Cadillac it proved cheaper to replace the entire door than to have them swap or fix the failed component.

Awesome. This reminds me of the "I don't know that shit" bit from Chris Rock.
