well, hard-core techie is such an extreme thing in general (i.e. abstracted out of gender/sex concept)... I work in team which has next to 100% kernel engineers/hackers and all of them do that on *razor blade thin* hardware, i.e. product should be desktop but fit in pocket, and yes, their kernel should work for that little piece... I must say that we have that kind of atmosphere "wanna run with big dogz? learn to pee on big trees" and many boys had left team... girls never applied for job - I asked line manager, he said NONE ever. We have certain share of them but not in kernel/core team...

looks like English has to make certain transition again - word "blogger" should be used for people without engagement, while rest should be renamed back to "journalists" (and treated exactly like them)... at least there is hope these *pseudo bloggers in fact PR or media* start to think again about copyright and other DMCA stuff staying with axe behind their career...

Please, no personal attacks - thought out opinions are fantastic, idol assumptions on fellow readers are pointless.

It's a comedic post. Laugh.

How can you say it was religion driven when it seems like it was a hoax to give this girl her 15 minutes of fame? Not everything that occurs has some deep underlying meaning behind it.

I don't see how this makes me a "tired mother." If you noticed, other people, who aren't women or mothers, also responded to this hoax.

It seems like you are someone who is a little bitter about life. You need to calm down and stop trying to find conspiracies.

even if it was not hoax - female virginity (or lack of it) is only tool for social pressure, used mostly by religion-driven elements.

you're just one tired mother who takes every text on Internet as truth - while most probably it is not, when it comes from ailing mass-media http://ohmars.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/texting-...

I have really weird idea, but... It came to my mind during reading last few paragraphs. What if it somehow mapped/correlated with SL hardware requirements for 3D video card? ;) I remember when I had been going in-world, I couldn't meet certain friends because one of them had PC broken, and buying another one with _particular_ video card (minimal, after later check). Once they bought it, it looked odd for them to buy anything since "a lot of money had been spent already on SL"...

Oh sorry i wasn't considering the drunk Finns as tourists - i see them more as part of the culture. :)

"It's still not overrun with tourists" - I don't insist but it might be interesting fact that everyday vodka-tourists loaded on ferries in Helsinki (and not only Helsinki when it comes to that) cross 80+ km gulf just for sake of ... ahem, tourism... may be your half-of-family left Tallinn way time ago ;)

lol :) Right you are though - time will most certainly tell!

well, I do not exclude that it is my wishful thinking :) let's see - time will show it in all vulgar details :)

Re: Nokia Wants to Free Symbian

zacharye — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:38:05 -0000

I agree.

If Nokia moves away from Symbian it would really surprise me though. It
would be a complete reversal from the current perspective from what I know.
Last September I was speaking to "someone" deeply involved with S60 Touch
and I inquired as to why they weren't moving forward more with the OS in
terms of changes / innovation / etc. The response I got was basically that
they don't want to change. They're extremely confident (almost too
confident) with what they have and didn't want to stray too far...

I don't think it is that straightforward - IMO they are given sort of last chance, and yet... kept as separate asset (it doesn't matter, open- or closed source, public entity or private equity) - easy re-evaluate at any moment.

zacharye — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:23:51 -0000

Heh - of course it's your personal opinion. My "ouch" was in response to "Open sourcing is new slang for ... slow downsizing on minimal costs". There are many people hoping this won't be the case with S60 I'm sure!

Re: Nokia Wants to Free Symbian

silpol — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:18:39 -0000

mita? I said this is _my_very_personal_opinion_without_any_intra_knowledge_ :))) didn't you see how ex-NET-now-NSN had been sent to make money on its own? what makes you thinking that Symbian is any better for those who merely counts money vs risks? :)

Re: Nokia Wants to Free Symbian

zacharye — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:29:13 -0000

Ouch! ;)

Re: Nokia Wants to Free Symbian

silpol — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:03:37 -0000

(this is only MY opinion and it has nothing in common with whatever comes from my employer, directly or implicitly) - I tend to believe that Symbian won't be S60, and open sourcing it is not about pushing it to the future. Open sourcing is new slang for ... slow downsizing on minimal costs :)
