Oh no, it wasn't lost. It was very intentional. If we don't dwell on race as a stumbling block impeding our success, we free ourselves to be successful. Tyson is a excellent example of that. I wouldn't doubt he's had to face racial issues in his rise to success, but he never shines light on that. He never dwells in the negative, instead he focuses on success. At least that's the public persona he presents. It makes him a good role model for other young African American youths to aspire to.

There will always be critics, regardless of race. Dr. Tyson probably deals with more than his fair share given his propensity to eschew religion on the side of science. But he doesn't let the critics get in his way, instead, he moves forward and ups the bar.

Of course, the same could be said about a 1990's Bill Cosby as well, so who knows, maybe I'll eat those words in the future. ;)

My point exactly, thank you. Lego spent millions studying what interests young girls and they developed that line in the hopes of expanding their target market into young girls. And it worked. But you wouldn't think so if you saw Anita's video on the topic.

Ouch. Mod parent up as insightful!

I'd echo this vote. I also like how Neil Degrasse Tyson has managed to essentially debuff race as an issue to be a giant in his field. His pursuit of science to leave behind the shortcomings of mankind in a bid to better understand the Universe in which we live is admirable. We watch riots over Ferguson, Mo while he's watching quasars and postulating the effects of gravity in environments unheard of on our planet. That's inspirational.

No, she was the first woman to find a way to blow something that was really a non-issue into a world wide catastrophe while crying "poor me" all the way. She does this with every topic she covers. Often times the issues she raises (and video games are only one of dozens) she takes things that are often times seen as good and encouraging towards women (watch her segment on Legos some time) and she will spin that into the gender antichrist for women. She is nothing more than a "feminazi" with a political agenda and she'll seek public attention through shock jock styled reporting that is very often times devoid of fact.

Before we go and mark Anita for sainthood, has anyone actually watched her videos? She literally pisses on virtually everything as being demeaning to women. If I had to go by the things she said, I would be convinced that there was a definite conspiracy to hold women down and subjugate them through companies failed attempts to incorporate girls toys (Legos), or to suck as a feminine heroine (Hunger Games) or any other medium to try and reach out to girls for inspiration. And I'd be damn convinced that the Founding Fathers of the US were a gang of men bent on male domination, why else would the Washington Monument be such a phallic symbol? Honestly, I think Anita suffers from some kind of gender-based delusion and has spent far to many years in "Women's Studies". My daughter played Lego's as a young girl and was more than willing to build a space ship right along side the boys. And you know what, I thought the flowers on the spaceship were pretty darn cute.

Given the date of that report, that might have been LOVEINT. If it was, then I'd say the press sorely over exaggerated.

I don't know so much about the GCHQ, but the NSA's publicly stated mission is to "lead the U.S. Government in cryptology that encompasses both Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Information Assurance (IA) products and services, and enables Computer Network Operations (CNO) in order to gain a decision advantage for the Nation and our allies under all circumstances." Hence all the "REL FVEY" material in those reports. It may be the tip of the iceberg, and it likely is because many of the systems and techniques alluded to in those reports are classified. They're classified to prevent our adversaries (to include UK's adversaries) from knowing what can be done. And with all honesty, I'm really curious how much flack the NSA will receive now that Sony was put into the dark ages by one of the least connected countries in the world. The threat is real, and organizations like GCHQ and NSA are there to protect the rest of us from these people. We may not agree with the way they go about it, but they do take their jobs seriously. And as for the analyst who was spying on her spouse, she's damn lucky she got a slap on the wrist. She could have gotten much, much worse for that.

Will this work with IE? Or will they release, i/Web a new API that is designed to write pages as self-contained programs by incorporating many of the most widely-used web technologies, freeing developers from working with each language individually in a very similar fashion as Ur/Web, but without the key API functions that would allow it to be compatible with any other browser. .... Not that this has ever happened before.

Sadly, you're probably right.

that a lot of companies will be re-evaluating their security.

David Boies has not intention of upholding his oath as an officer of the court to uphold the Constitution of the United States, otherwise, he would never support the blanket suppression of Free Speech of the Press. Granted Sony has a right to protect their intellectual property and press should have an obligation not to publish trade secrets that have no public value other than to cause harm to Sony, but that's an ethical decision, not a legal one.
