There seem to be lots of things missing or that just plain don't work.
That's not a question. Its a statement. It's an honest mistake to be sure, but maybe its a sign that you should start spending more time thinking about how you might improve yourself and a little less time nitpicking every little detail of any given website.

Different people were shown one classroom or the other and then had to fill out a questionnaire regarding how they felt about the Computer Science field. The results? Girls were less enthusiastic about computer science if they had seen the Star Trek room as opposed to the neutral one. Men didn't give a crap one way or the other. The research suggests that girls might steer away from geek career paths if they are subjected to this kind of environment because they don't feel like they would fit in. Makes you wonder how many problems we could solve if we just decorated all workplaces with Star Trek posters. Leave Comment:

There's a lot of funny in these comments. 
I know Virginia was joking, but her argument is pretty limp. Mike was making the claim that things would go more smoothly if men were allowed to conduct science or specifically computer science without the interference caused by having women around (which is no small amount). Maybe he's right or maybe he's wrong, but saying that he wouldn't know something because a woman was the one who happened to tell him things that men already knew (and developed) is kind of silly as a counterpoint.
