Comment Re:it would be easy to gather the evidence (Score -1, Redundant) 666

Nerd rage rape fantasy? Give me a break... if someone tried to rape/kill you, the first thing you do is go report it to the police. The fact she didn't file a police report and instead decided to "blog" about it is very odd. I'm not saying it didn't happen; however, why not file a police report if things happened as reported on her blog?

Why is it sexist when that is what most women respond to? In the fashion industry, it has been established that women are more interested, spend more time, effort and money on fashion than men do. Just as men are more interested, spend more time, effort and money on engineering/science. Where is the parallel effort to get men to design new fashions and reward them with smartphones, power tools and 3D printers?

United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea 567

skade88 writes "The New York Times is reporting that the United States has started flying B-2 stealth bomber runs over South Korea as a show of force to North Korea. The bombers flew 6,500 miles to bomb a South Korean island with mock explosives. Earlier this month the U.S. Military ran mock B-52 bombing runs over the same South Korean island. The U.S. military says it shows that it can execute precision bombing runs at will with little notice needed. The U.S. also reaffirmed their commitment to protecting its allies in the region. The North Koreans have been making threats to turn South Korea into a sea of fire. North Korea has also made threats claiming they will nuke the United States' mainland."

GNOME 3.8 Released Featuring New "Classic" Mode 267

Hot on the heels of the Gtk+ 3.8 release comes GNOME 3.8. There are a few general UI improvements, but the highlight for many is the new Classic mode that replaces fallback. Instead of using code based on the old GNOME panel, Classic emulates the feel of GNOME 2 through Shell extensions (just like Linux Mint's Cinnamon interface). From the release notes: "Classic mode is a new feature for those people who prefer a more traditional desktop experience. Built entirely from GNOME 3 technologies, it adds a number of features such as an application menu, a places menu and a window switcher along the bottom of the screen. Each of these features can be used individually or in combination with other GNOME extensions."

Don’t believe the crap about the patriarchy. More women are accepted and attend college. More degrees are awarded to women than men. Women outlive men. More men commit suicide. Men are twice as likely to be victims of violence, including murder. If you consider sexual assaults in prisons, twice as many men are raped as women (society thinks prison rape is funny). The streets are littered with homeless men, sprinkled with a few homeless women. Statically, women are happier than men. The myth that girls are being cheated by are educational system is belied by the fact that schools are bastions of femininity, mostly run by and taught by women. Girls outperform boys in school. It is the boys in school getting fucked over, and prescribed ritalin for being boys. Real wages for men are falling, while real wages for women are rising. Just because someone says something enough times, doesn’t make it true. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

Having said that, yes, the best response is to shut the fuck up and only respond with "Yes m'am" or "No ma'm", if any only if spoken to.

Comment Re:This is what I posted on her blog (Score 2) 759

Her intentions are very suspect to begin with. There has been lots of speculation that career goals were her motive. Not to mention, she (apparently) has no remorse over getting a person (in this case a male) fired for her very unsubstantiated claims of "abuse".

Either she is a neo-feminist who has it out for males, or is just totally unaware of how society (and the real-world work). In the real world, sometimes people's feelings do get hurt. Launching a witch hunt against 1/2 the population because her feelings were hurt was not the proper way to deal with it.

I'm sure I'll be modded down as a male chauvinist pig for this post. So be it. The reality of life is, you can't have someone there to watch over every social interaction you have. Sometimes you need to stand up for yourself (man or woman) and just tell the other person to fuck off.

Comment Freakonomics authors disagree (Score 1) 627

In Freakonomics, the authors postulate the decrease in crime rate in the late 90's was due to Roe v. Wade and the legalization of abortion. They claim to see similar trends (about 15-20 years after the legalization of abortion, crime rates plummet) in other countries that have legalized abortion. The thought being that unwanted babies are often given up for adoption and/or do not have as a loving up-bringing as a wanted child, which then leads to criminal behaviors.

Lead, abortion, which one is it? Its likely not both.

Comment electronics and chemicals!? c'mon (Score 1) 630

Chemicals and Electronic parts that when mixed together can create an explosion? Gee... lets see, 90% of geeks have an Arduino and some Vinegar and baking soda in their homes. Hell, the police could call a light bulb and electronic part. Or what about your cell-phone? A knee-jerk reaction to a kid drawing pictures of what appeared to be a gun? I'd hate to see what happens to the kid who draws a picture of the latest Halo video game.
