    New York City's Taxi Industry Made An Uber App

    Convenience and visibility to the person you "connected" with for a service are extremely important. I'm assuming the cab company apps are addressing that. What they likely aren't addressing is the pure fact that cabs are fucking gross usually. I haven't been in an uber that was anything older...

    Black Ops III

    I'm almost positive that one of the developers affirmed that dedicated servers would be available at launch for AW. Clearly that was a blatant lie to sell preorders. I'm too lazy to find the link.

    What new games are you hyped up for this year?

    Star War: Battlefront GTA V Maybe the new CoD if it heads back to its roots and out of its 5 year slump.

    Women Are Leaving The Tech Industry In Droves

    Not that it matters much, but I drew the same conclusions from your post as Mope did. It wasn't totally clear what you were explicitly saying (i.e. 2/3 of your career? Was this before or after the degrees?) Regardless, he's totally right. Calm the fuck down.

    Fair enough. Their pay may not be equal in healthcare, but it does appear to allow more upward mobility.

    Women Are Leaving The Tech Industry In Droves

    I'll bite. Even IF your evidence of that one time you stayed late and noticed that slutty secretary down the hall you were hoping to see when you left was gone represented the actual trend across all women... then I really think you need to step back and understand WHY this may be the case. It's...

    Women Are Leaving The Tech Industry In Droves

    I agree with you as far as nurses are concerned. Their pay is competitive with entry to intermediate level IT positions (50-65k/year). Unfortunately, the advanced positions you mention (PA, CRNA, etc) require EXTREMELY competitive master degree programs. Its not as ubiquitous as getting a...

    Women Are Leaving The Tech Industry In Droves

    I'm specifically referring to their ability to garner employment at comparable wages to men as well as continue up the vertical ladder within that area. The issue you're describing may be caused by inherent societal norms for women to stay in a position of flexibility to care for children... or...

    Women Are Leaving The Tech Industry In Droves

    Where exactly are women being "bombarded in the media" by anti-tech-industry propaganda? I'm curious. I don't watch network TV, so that may have an effect on my exposure.

    Women Are Leaving The Tech Industry In Droves

    Not a problem. It honestly surprised me as well. Healthcare seems to be paving the way for women when it comes to equal pay and removal of the glass ceiling.

    Women Are Leaving The Tech Industry In Droves

    It appears to be about 25% according to the previously quoted picture. Regardless, his argument was some seriously fuzzy logic on the fact that the entire workforce isn't even split up between 50% female... but it is (plus some).

    I'd have to say your borderline bigotry, anecdotal evidence is totally destroyed by the statistics that most management roles are filled by white, affluent males. Though I apologize that you had to witness the only two black males in the country being promoted.

    http://dpeaflcio.org/professionals/professionals-in-the-workplace/women-in-the-professional-and-technical-labor-force/ According to this study, women make up 51% of the "Professional and technical workforce." Though it does state they only provide 47% of the total workforce. I just wanted...

    Call of Duty World at War 2 to be revealed in May

    The issues with WaW were movement mechanies (much sloppier than COD1, COD2, and MW1, etc), gun feel (lack of kickback, etc. Every gun was a laser.), and pretty awful multiplayer map design. This was when Treyarch vs Infinity Ward was actually a thing. Treyarch couldn't reproduce a COD that was...

    GTX 970m/980m launched, along with laptops

    The MSI GhostPro 44 will have a GTX 980M? Where can I find a preorder page for this? I would typically be one to agree with the retirement of legacy ports, but anyone with any business need for this laptop will tell you (myself included) that most conference rooms (not all) still require VGA...

    Or you could go for the GIGABYTE P35Xv3-CF2. Xotic PC has it for $2k. 15" screen, .8" thick, AND has a GTX 980M (8GB).

    GTX 970m/980m launched, along with laptops

    Does $1799.99 seem like a reasonable price for a MSI GS60 Ghost Pro-044 (w/ GTX 970M)?
