Why some people here become so belligerent is a mystery to me.

A combination of this as well as exasperation at the opponent having the sum total of freely available human knowledge LITERALLY at his fingertips, and yet he’s still willfully objectively wrong.

Any one notice how there are no women on the side of the prince.

And? You’d prefer he have his harem with him?

When they talk about education opptunities they really mean ‘MALE educational oppunities’ Women there don’t get ‘educated’

So… do something about it?

Equality is a false god, by the way.

It is all about the environment. Thats why. Put any intelligent Arab to a more supporting and free environment you can have Steve Jobs. But if you put the same guy in Syria or in Turkey, you will have, well, a guy. Just a guy. Not Steve jobs. So, its about the environment not the brillant individuals.

No, sorry, the “blank slate” bullshit that communists try to push was disproven about a century ago. People are not, and do not see themselves as, “interchangeable parts.“

...something tells me they will run more totalitarian societies than men did.

Given that human history is the story of men fighting and dying by the billions for less government control and women getting suffrage to vote in more government control, I’d say you’re right on the money.

If one group is under represented in some role...

Your statements are predicated upon a worldview of unimpeachable egalitarianism. This is not something reflected in reality, and is thus not of much use. 

EDIT: Let me clarify. Not only is it not reflected in reality, it is not the nature of reality to be egalitarian, and by that metric it is not of much use to envision such a system.

Intel is crashing on the news, so someone likely just wanted to short them.

So, uh… why’d they do this to Safari? Why can’t I say “allow first party cookies only”? Look, I know that it never worked. IT NEVER WORKED. I ALWAYS got third party cookies. But this was a conscious decision they made, to change this feature. They took time to go into Safari and actually do something. AND THEY DIDN’T BOTHER TO ADD A COOKIE WHITELIST. Do they care anymore?

Also, is “prevent cross-site tracking” Apple’s way of saying, “We’re wiping the HTTP REFERER when you click on a link,” or is it something else entirely? Because I’d like to wipe my HTTP REFERERs but there’s no Safari extension to do that.
