"cards that refer to white or black creatures are racist when it's in reference to good and evil, not skin colour."

This is exactly why they are racist. The presumption that white=good and black=evil perpetuates prejudice and systemic racism.

ugh. while i love my SX-70s dearly and think they're a great camera everyone should try, photojojo is ripping people off. perfectly working ones can be found for much, much less money at camera shows and thrift stores.

i will happily sell you one of mine (i have two) for half what they are charging. half!

this is fine by me. i love Amy Pond, but i'm still fairly meh about Matt Smith as The Doctor. i've already got his replacement picked: Robert Sheehan. he'd make a great 12th Doctor!

a lot has been made in the press lately about the number of (or lack thereof) women in the computing sciences in general, and the open source arenas in particular. i'm curious about what your experiences with female geeks has been. in your opinion: a) are we *really* that hard to find in technical circles? and, b) do we have skill sets comparable to the guy geeks?
