Two of the earliest important contributors to computer science are distinguished women: Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper No doubt James Donald would claim they stole all their work from men, were sluttish whores, and should've been married off as child brides at their fathers whim. I disagree, and i'm sure Byron did too (no clue who Graces dad was..)

Ada Lovelace made no significant contributions for science, mathematics, or computer science. The work for which Ada is most famous consists of writing up Babbage's algorithm descriptions. She did not create them herself, but from Babbage's notes. Babbage hired her to generate publicity for his difference engine because she was famous, and she was famous because she was a *female* scientist and mathematician, as a dancing bear is famous not for dancing well, but for dancing at all. Grace Hopper cause Cobol to be created, a language infamous for being bad, but popular with authority figures. She issued a bunch of extremely bad specifications, reflecting what authority figures who do not understand computing are likely to mistakenly think that they want, and then programmers who were actually competent then gave effect to her incompetent and bad idea. There are no great female scientists. If there were you would not have been reduced to giving Marie Curie not one but two Nobel prizes for work that no male would have received a Nobel prize for. (For the similar but far more important discovery of Radon made at about the same time got no Nobel prize), work that she did as the least important member of a team of three scientists, all of them greater than her, and yet the two males did not get the Nobel prize. There is one great female mathematician, Noether, of whom it was said "I can testify that she is a great mathematician, but that she is female I am far from sure." All other supposedly great female mathematicians are fakes in the style of Marie Curie, or routine mediocrities in the style of Ada and Hopper.

Thank you, dear! <3 Let's celebrate the International Women's Day trolling T-rump and other female haters, yay! :D # 10 minutes of Donald Trump demeaning, objectifying and insulting women. https://youtu.be/bq2zibeZ-xw # This incredible portrait of Donald Trump is made from his most hateful quotes https://www.indy100.com/article/donald-trump-conor-collins-portrait-quotes-a... # This text below is one of Lauren's posts. I am copying it here just to annoy the stupid bastard who created a fake account using Lauren's name. Zzzz doesn't have any friend, so needs to do this kind of sick thing only to interact with "another person", d'ooh! Did you notice he always creates fake accounts and answers to his own messages? Schizophrenia's rules! :D ====== Donald Trump Tweeted About International Women's Day. It Backfired. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-tweeted-international-women... President Donald Trump tweeted a message of support for International Women's Day on Wednesday. It didn't go down well. With his woeful track record of sexist and misogynistic behavior, Trump's claim to have "tremendous respect" for women rang hollow for many Twitter users. - - - Donald Dump speaks to "respect of women" on Howard Stern's show: https://youtu.be/b2ujbMfG2D8?t=273 ====== This is a good song to celebrate the day. It's fun, light, older than most of the members here, and I love it, but the fact is I am posting it only to ask to Mirimir what means the guy with the long oval head dancing in the party. Sorry, it's pretty strange! Is it an old American reference? No, Google didn't give me any good answer... :P # Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper https://youtu.be/PIb6AZdTr-A Congratulations to all the Ladies! Wish sincere happiness and gorgeous rainbows after the life' storms, not only today but forever! <3 c.
