Why was this modded down instead of up?

Actually he's got a point. Nobody arguse about it is using the right numbers for the right purpose. It has been going on for ages on this site.

Steve Jobs? Is that you?

Well, actually, that's the problem. It is well known that aside from all other determiners, a woman will receive less pay than a man. The reasons are complex and widely studied; theories abound.

Certainly an engineering major will tend to pay for itself more quickly than a child and youth care major. Perhaps the lure of money is not enough to motivate many women to choose that field. Still, I would hope that those I work alongside of, man or woman, choose their career based on their interests, and not on their income.

WHAAaAAAaa? You think MOO3 was a *simplification* of MOO2?

To make a more recent comparision, MOO3 was like EVE Online without a subscription fee. It was a bureaucracy simulator par excellence. I made it through the tutorial realized there was probably a fun game in there after about a six month training course, and went outside* instead.

*: I did not actually go outside.

You probably ought to give UFO: Alien Invasion a try. It's definitely not the same game, but it's created by a group of people clearly in love with the source material.
