This simply can not be stressed enough.

From "A Brief History of Time":

"This was a form of insurance policy for me. I have done a lot of work on black holes, and it would all be wasted if it turned out that black holes do not exist. But in that case, I would have the consolation of winning my bet, which would win me four years of the magazine Private Eye. If black holes do exist, Kip will get one year of Penthouse. When we made the bet in 1975, we were 80% certain that Cygnus was a black hole. By now, I would say that we are about 95% certain, but the bet has yet to be settled."

Sexual assault like any form of assault? Then start treating the survivors of rape as such, first. Rape is about dominance, if the society wouldn't put a dominance label on the intercourse, rape wouldn't be an issue. But we are as far from it as we were 100 years ago. Ever heard of Steubenville? Think these assholes did that because they coulnd't get laid otherwise?

And get the fuck down from your high horse! "Your country" is one of the worst in this issue among the "civilized" ones. "Purity" rings, does it ring the bell?

Not that this has ANYTHING to do with dongle jokes. The bitch just misused a just cause (fight against sexism and descrimination) to stir some drama and get more attention. I am glad she got fired.

Thats why there is a loose set of guidelines called "decency" which is quite changes quite a bit depending on the environment and the context, but most adults have an intuitive grasp of. On the other hand, people shouldn't get fired for slip-ups.

Btw, i'm remembering the PMS joke for the next time our servers start to act up (in about 28 days, probably).

If you read TFA (haha!) make sure to scroll down to the comment of Pater Kasting (Chrome dev).

Wow, I am not surprised someone tryies to troll devs on /., I am surprised there were 5 butthurt people with mod points to make him visible for everyone. Lighten up, guys, work doesn't have to make you feel like killing yourself!

(@AC save the snarky remark :)

Someone won his first DEFCON game and thinks he is a nuclear tactics expert now.

(I know how it feels, I thought I was one too....)

This, my dear kids, is called FUD.

The Nature IS vacuum.

Sadly, our universe runs on a quite old hardware, which allowed the scientists to overflow the temperature variable. Why the Great Programmer didn't use unsigned longs ist beyond me, rookie mistake, really!

welcome our virus-enhanced guinea pig overlords!
