As an user, I find it's hard to find something to contribute to.

I want filters and subscriptions -- notify me when something new in the "open source hardware" category becomes available. Notify when something new with "arduino" in it appears. Things like that.

Instead it's a site that requires me to regularly search for stuff by hand, and which ocassionally sends mail 95% composed of stuff that doesn't interest me at all.

I don't think that would have mattered much.

Once the world decided to switch away from CFCs, even with an exception, soon enough there wouldn't have been anybody to make it anyway. There can't be that much profit in ocassionally selling small amounts to NASA.

And if they did keep making it, it'd be at astronomical prices, and you'd be whining instead about NASA wasting money instead of switching to one of the perfectly good alternatives that cost 10 times less.

It does not matter. If I have a promise to get my money back, which applies to one specific component, I expect it to be upheld. In my view, if Lenovo didn't want to play by those rules, they wouldn't ship it with Windows installed.

Why would it be an outlier? Why would the military consider women for that position if they thought they might be unsuitable in any manner? To appease the yet inexistent Women's liberation movement? Also it's not an outlier, search for photos of computers of the same era, and you find quite a lot of women.

My guess is that it's much simpler. Designing the ENIAC was a man's job. Perhaps programming it was the unglamorous chore, a sort of maintenance task somewhat akin to sweeping the floor. Or maybe because they saw similarity with a switchboard operator.

Later, programming gained prestige, so obviously men wanted those jobs and would have the advantage.

Explain the third paragraph, then. Photo for additional evidence.

If women have something that inherently makes them less suitable for programming on average, why would somebody have them as the programmers of a military system, when the military (especially in those times) is heavily male dominated?

Those are just warnings, they don't intent to legally bind you into anything.

Licensing is another thing entirely, the terms are attached for Windows and Windows only. It's not part of the product, but simply bundled with it, and the separate license it carries only make that stronger.

If the board came with a licensing agreement for the capacitors on board, then yes, I would expect to be able to refund that particular component.

N9 doesn't run Symbian. It runs Harmattan, which is a transitional system between Maemo and Meego. It's Linux based. From the userspace it looks a lot like a normal Linux system, though the N900 was much better in that respect.

Nope! I was just wondering if somebody would make a Fist of the North Star joke and what it would be.

I was trying to come up with something, but wasn't getting any decent ideas.

Funny thing is that America seems to have the same issue.

Before I started talking people from the US, I've never heard of people being concerned about their 1/4th of Irish or Russian heritage. But in the US that seems to be a common interest. I suppose that's because the US is a relatively new country and other cultures have much more history and tradition.
