RE: [Plug] At the risk of getting flamed to my dying day, I'm going to posea question...
|
Okay,
I'll throw in my 2 cents. I have over the years wondered why a lot of the
top Sun Microsystems SE's are women. In most other technologies like NT,
Networking, Security, etc. women are the almost non-existent minority.
Hmmm... Has anyone else noticed that? I won't say anymore since my mouth
isn't big enough for two feet.

Subject: [Plug] At the risk of getting flamed to my dying day, I'm going
to posea question...
As a C.M.A., I'll be making this comment/question to my wife as well..
Is it just my perception of my Wife and women in general, or are there many
similarities between the *ahem* gentler gender and UNIX????
Follow me for a moment here.... I'll be taking this from a UNIX first
perspective, as I feel I understand UNIX more thoroughly..
UNIX is multi-tasking, as are women.
UNIX performs exceptionally well, as long as the proper attention is paid to
it.
UNIX carries out tasks that guys usually will not, and often cannot.
UNIX is incredibly complex, and often cryptic.
The shortest requests can have incredibly powerful reactions.
UNIX is constantly in flux.
Many of the tools/capabilities of UNIX are open source, if someone takes the
time to read them.
I'm beginning to grasp at straws here, but does anyone here get where I'm
comng
from?
I'm not being sexist, nor am I trying to compartmentalize women for the sake
of
comparison, but this thought just crossed my mind.
In fact, I wonder if a strong understanding on UNIX lends itself to better
interactions with women? Ladies, verification/refutation? Are UNIX geeks
good
guys?
The corollary to the above is it occurs to me that men are very similar to
DOS...I'll let you draw your own conclusions and examples.
In fact, I am a longtime suporter of NOW, for the activists out here.
Hey, I am occasionally subject to bizzare trains of thought, and this is one
of
them, I hope all of the female geeks will forgive me.
Peace,
Vale
P.S.
The list has been kinda dead for a few days, so I figgured I'd liven it up a
bit...there are whole boatloads of threads that can be spawned here....no
pun
intended..
