Yes! sorry, I meant homogenous. Even a small state like West Virginia is too big and the needs are too diverse for a one size fits all approach.
That's not exactly mens fault though. It is the fault of whomever creates the one in four women will be raped statistic (which is clearly bullshit).

The 1/4 number in the USA that's usually quoted is for rape and attempted rape.

For an explanation of where the 1/4 number came from in the US - read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#United_States. I'd be interested in which part of the methodologies of the four different studies done by separate groups - one in 1987, one in 1995, one in 2000, and one in 2006 - you think is bullshit.

Even if you ignore the "attempted" the numbers that have come from multiple pieces of research in the US and UK of somewhere between 1/5 and 1/20 of women who will be raped isn't exactly reassuring either.

Unfortunately from the number of women I know well enough for the conversation topic to have come up I can easily believe that the higher numbers are much closer to reality than the low.

For any females reading this, while plenty of males will want to get into your pants very few males can stomach the idea of rape, so if you feel threatened seek other males. It doesn't matter much if you know them or not.

Unfortunately most rapes happen in environments where other males aren't around.
This 25x thing correlates well with the "reality distortion field"

Also 250% of all statistics make 66% sense -5% of the time.
I see a lot of posters argueing about the type of cisco router that should have been used or if a soho Linksys router should have been used instead.

Assuming that the government has some rules that requires them not to deploy soho or open source products and they have to spend the money on some big brand company: how come Juniper was not taken into consideration (or other known network vendors)?

I would argue that Juniper could provide cheaper equipment of simmilar of higher spec (let's ignore for a moment if that is oversized or not) - and it becomes even cheaper if you consider the simpler licensing terms and upgrade support.

Isn't the government supposed to run open tenders? Is cisco mandatory in the US?
I maintain a business app for iOS and my client fully expects me to reproduce and fix bugs for obscure versions of iOS that only 0.0001% of people might still use, even if those people can (and should) just upgrade their OS. If it was my own app I wouldn't care.
You're being a tad too literal with your critique (if I may). The whole point is to take you into a realm that's utterly absurd from the male perspective -- which is entirely my point in writing this.

Yes, male nurses face weird moments in life - but as you say it's mostly from other men. That has nothing to do with being a woman in the tech industry who get to listen to cracks about "being on the rag" or PMSing when they're aggressive.

Next time you're with a female coworker, notice how often you and the other men in the group look at her chest. Notice how often she ignores this and how completely oblivious the other men are that she's overlooking their behavior. If you don't believe me - and if you know this woman well enough - ask her.

You'd be surprised the shit women deal with.
I don't think so, those are taken care of by our government afaik.

The problem, is that at the end of the day, some code somewhere is going to have to deal with resource allocation. Generally speaking with all the other fluff aside, an operating system, fundamentally manages and multiplexes resources. It's naive to think that resource management would be best done in a language with automatic GC. Somebody

I don't doubt that C is not the systems programming language of the future. But it's not going to be done in a system that's based around automatic GC either.

Why is that stat bullshit? From Wikipedia: "More than a quarter of college age women report having experienced a rape or rape attempt since age 14." The citation for that sentence points here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.avb.2006.10.002

Also, I don't think the question of fault is interesting here. Crime is the fault of the criminals alone. But creating a safe society is everyone's responsibility.

Actually, signing the receipt has everything to do with fraud. If you use a credit card in a transaction you are required to pay regardless of whether you sign an agreement saying so. The difference is, if the merchant does not collect your signature, they are liable for any chargebacks AKA reports of fraud whereas the bank would be if the merchant did collect the signature. [1][2]

My point in bringing up the signature line on the back of the card is that, while it might not meet your personal standard of effectiveness, it is an example of "a pin at checkout is a good one to reduce fraud. However it is more work for the consumer, and reduces the bank's liability."
Signature verification is an old-fashioned, and perhaps imperfect, nonetheless established method of security.

If you have ever used traveler's checks, you will know that they also use signature-matching as the method of security/verification.

I doubt we are better off for PHP's existence (only mentioning the oxymoron "PHP security" should be enough to make this point), many would argue the same for Java (unless you are a consultant or book publisher), and some have argued the same for C.

And just because something is new doesn't make it good, in the programming world the number of square wheels built grows every day, and we are in danger of the resulting mountain collapsing and burying us all in a tangle of inscrutable complexity of bad solutions to problems that were solved long ago.

The bureaucrats I deal with would buy the various routers at best prices and then proceed to build a software system to track which router was installed where that would cost > top of the line routers and would be built by a company friendly to the person making the decision. Initial costs would be low to win the bid but many "required changes" would ramp the bill up. They would create software jobs and get optimal router pricing - if that's not efficiency I don't know what is !

> Our society has a long way to go before we reach equality.

Why is there such a strong emphasis on equality?

In Slovenian, we have two similar words, of which one means "equality", and the other means roughly "equal rights". I'm always annoyed when the former is stated as a goal, instead of the latter.

We're not equal, and never will be. For example, men don't have to bear children, they don't need a "paternal leave" (where it's available, it's a nice bonus, but it shouldn't be introduced/mandatory at the expense of the maternal leave).

Another apparent difference between the sexes is the different priorities in the choice of mate. I'm sure that the bigger emphasis assigned by man to the visual appearance of women is partially based in our culture, but also partially based in our biology. Sure, sexual comments at the workplace are inappropriate, but I'm never going to seek excuses for my preference for seeing sexy women in ads (btw, another gender bias used in ads, but rarely mentioned, even by the most fierce proponents of "equality": if a person is implied to be socially awkward/stupid/taken advantage of, it's almost always a man).

There is, however, one area where men and women are mostly equal: the advantages in life that the alpha members of each sex are awarded with (the meaning of alpha differ between the genders: in women, it's mostly looks, in men, it's fame, power, money, fitness/lookss (not necessarily in this order)).

This is true.

I have worked in emergency medicine, dealing with all types of assault, and females are rarely assaulted compared to men. When they are it is often by someone they know and usually another female.

Random assault on a female is front page news, for a male its socially acceptable!

See Philip Greenspun's problem set 4 from MIT course 6.916: Software Engineering of Innovative Web Services (http://philip.greenspun.com/teaching/psets/ps4/ps4.adp).

Its objective says, "Teach students the virtues of metadata. More specifically, they learn how to formally represent the requirements of a Web service and then build a computer program to generate the computer programs that implement that service."

This is one of the problem sets potential ArsDigita (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArsDigita) recruits were required to solve during the first bubble.

>When the problem is murder, and you adopt a policy that condemns murder, you don't call the policymaker a murderer. The first action (murder) constitutes taking someone's life, and the other (the policy) amounts to a prohibition on that. They're opposites. See?

When the problem is not X, and your main policy is "condemn X", then you aren't addressing the real issues behind conference attendance, etc.

So I'd argue the whole "harassment"/"sexism" thing is an overblown out of proportion thing, and I'd rather hear about your bloody actual content.

Not to mention that the me-too emphasis on "inclusion"/"sexism-fighting" etc fad sends people away. I want to come there to learn about Ruby and have some nice chats with other developers, etc, not to fight social ills the presense of which I might not even agree with in the first place ("Oh, someone show some slides that included some humorous sexual innuendo in a programming conference, we must stop this sexism and condemn it for all eternity"). If someone stomps an ant or bites a bat a la Ozzy in his next presentation, will we also get the obligatory PETA references in every conference program?

>You do realize that there is a very real problem with sexism, right? That is, there are people who are already behaving badly on the basis of superficial physical differences.

Superficial as regards to programming and intellectual capacity. Because, in other ways not only are they not superficial but an extremely powerful biological mechanism is at play regarding those differences. I.e men are attracted to women and vice versa, and this is even how the whole species (including conference organizers) currently exists.

The second question indeed is silly. I think the first one is a very good question (not for all positions maybe).
It's only far away if you want to work in pure hydrogen, which is ideologically simple but not really required. Synthesis of methane from hydrogen is easy and efficient and (pretty) cheap - use atmospheric co2 as carbon feedstock. A German company is working on this and has proven solution at small scale, I'm sure they're not the only ones.

More of a pain than simply burning/recombining hydrogen with oxygen, but has the upside that there is already a huge and established global network for transport and storage of methane - cheap and proven and currently being rapidly scaled.

> When you ask men the same question [...] the answer is just about nothing.

From my personal experience, men are much more vulnerable than women. A lot of my friends got assaulted/beaten up (me included) (some multiple times), and it's always been in public, either in clubs or even in broad daylight on a busy street! As you stated above, women can protect themselves in very simple ways: stay with other people, and watch what you're eating. For men, it's almost impossible to protect ourselves, except by being physically bigger and stronger (or by being armed/better at fighting, but that might cause some legal problems). So, we do basically nothing to "protect ourselves" in daily life, because there is nothing we can do, the most we can do is to try not to elevate the situation if things get heated/if you meet a violent idiot somewhere.

I'm not trying to downplay the dangers women face in our society. It's just obvious to me that whenever someone says that women are endangered without saying that men are too, they are much more motivated by discrimination against men than by making this society better & safer.

I wonder if modern enterpreneurs are recruiting their marketing staff from the ranks of these street scammers. Many scammers are masters of the art of salesmanship: telling people what they want to hear in order to get them to part with their money.

I find it hard to distinguish between their methods, the only substantial difference being much larger turnover for the 'respectable' marketing and advertising experts.

Significance of Research
The significance of research can also be understood keeping in view the following points:
a)	To those students who are to write a master’s or Ph.D. thesis, research may mean careerism or a way to attain a high position in the social structure;
b)	To professionals in research methodology, research may mean a source of livelihood;
c)	To philosophers and thinkers, research may mean the outlet for new ideas and insights;
d)	To literary men and women, research may mean the development of new styles and creative work;
e)	To analysts and intellectuals, research may mean the generalizations of new theories.
Thus, research is the fountain of knowledge for the sake of knowledge and an important source of providing guidelines for solving different business, governmental and social problems. It is a sort of formal training, which enables one to understand the new developments in one’s field in a better way.
