Comment It's not a scaled down version... (Score 4, Informative) 13

It's a SOC emulator. Just like the 2600+. Yes, a lot of people who love Atari did work on it, and it's very cool that we're seeing a homebrew get bundled, but I'm willing to guarantee it's the 2600+ in a new case. Polygon seems confused when they refer to this as being original hardware.

Comment Re:Year? (Score 1) 168

It's probably a style/editing thing. Similar to how you use a person's full name and title the first time you refer to them (President Donald J. Trump) and then use a short form every time afterwards (Mr. Trump.)

So you probably say "the year 2000" the first time you mention a year standing alone, but can omit the word year for each other reference to a year.

Editorial style guides can be very, very specific on these things.

Comment I can barely name any either (Score 5, Insightful) 330

I consider myself pretty tech-savvy and supportive of diversity and the only one I could think of was Melissa something who got fired or something from Yahoo? One from HP I think who was running for office. And another one who was with that bio firm that was apparently faking lab results or something. I can name plenty of female politicians however.

I don't know if that's my fault, the fault of the press/media/society for not making me more aware, or the industry for having practically no women in it.
