Comment Women underepresented; big yes, but..voluntarily (Score 1) 432

Funny thing, is I do see SOME games oriented for women....development and designed by other women. Trouble is they are an extreme minority in the game development. (come to think of it, there are FAR too women in IT in general). The irony is, studies indicate that while organizations are trying to actively bring more women in the coding and development parts of the IT field, women are leaving in that capacity virtually as fast as they are brought in. How do we fit fix this, I don't know. If we could get more females in gaming as DEVELOPERS as opposed to manager, PR and admin type stuff, we'd probably have way cooler games in general and a breath of fresh air. (It would also be WAY easier for socially awkward male developers to get a date...;-) ) I'd love more women doing software development in general and so would all my colleauges.

My server names would be: feisty, baggypants, fancypants, thescarf, thecelery, antifashion, theumbrella, mrmystic, northernaccent, converse, hats. Don't know what #12 will be but lucky 13 I'll name "the_end". (12 regeneration limit for a time lord...)

Yep, in the United States of America you are entitled to due process of law...unless some rich corporations say otherwise. This is the United States of America I now know:

The Land of Life (of Servitute to greedy corporations), Liberty (Unless the someone shouts "terrorist", "government protest", or "lack of obsene corporate profits") and The Pursuit of Happiness (if you are a corporation bribing, aka lobbying the proper government officials).

The people of the USA have basically had all liberties and due proces taken from them, first in small doses then in larger doses more visible to the point the US Constitution is basically a joke. The people can do one of two things:

1. Take it up the rear end and love it, or

2. Stand up to it and say "no" like human being who still believe in the constitution (if it hasn't been totally shreaded yet).

We'll see which the people the USA decide. Perhaps they could use from lessons from the French who still know how to fight for and protect their rights. Unfortunately the people of the USA have so far been relatively uninvolved with politics worrying about things at home and on TV. Guess what? This IS your home and reality television is anything but real.
