I've told you this before. Natives in Africa would bath in cow urine and roll round in the dirt for bug protection. Blacks are a pretty stupid race. Don't take my word for it. Go to YT and search for police videos. Blacks abound.
Dem whites suffer from this mental dis-ease. They idolize the indigenous thinking they are gods. Here is a video on it. See if you you filthy dems relate...maybe you can recover from your mental illness commies.
Israel has jettisoned the civilised world. It has only America, Gaum and Palau left.The Pro Minority Zeitgeist of the last 45 Years has Jettisoned Jews & Israel and is nearing its peak
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGYThose of us with brains already know this. But it is good to remind everyone.
If you hate the West and white men, just stop using the technology we developed. Bye.
Men - particularly white men - are being weeded out at every level. The demographic that built the modern world is being hobbled.[snipped]
Everything for industrial, military, aerospace and science purposes now is getting more expensive to produce here. The people who came here a century ago or so had talents. Today very few have those talents with the illegals. We cannot compete with government in control of building what we need. That 90-million-dollar helicopter on Mars may have cost 10% if the private sector had the contract without NASA government with DEI and quotas in charge.Except you are wrong about many of those but hey you look good rocking that ignorance. All you have to do is use google and educate yourself a little.
Except we were not a socialist welfare state and most of the people coming here had trades or some education.Seems to me that the same thing was said a century ago about Germans, Irish, Italians and Poles.
All of whom integrated nicely into society.
So will immigrants from Latin America and Asia.

Men - particularly white men - are being weeded out at every level. The demographic that built the modern world is being hobbled.Consider that universities, when they were small outfits reserved for the elite, could find the West Virginia math genius John Nash, cultivate him at Carnegie-Melon and Princeton, then send him to MIT to do research resulting in a Nobel Prize. Now an eccentric boy like him is probably drugged by some angry woman in elementary school. If he makes it through that experience, he’s trashed for his whiteness for years, and then rejected probably at all top schools. Then his credentials don’t get him the interviews he would need at top corporations, banks, law firms, consulting firms, etc. And if does manage the interview, he might not get hired anyway because of diversity quotas. And if he even gets through that, he will be subjected to diversity training, and possibly hobbled in promotion. The only white guys who get through all this are connected, wealthy. The John Nash type - very unlikely he’s even recognized.This is what American society is doing to itself in real time.
Yes, we long for the days when the white man invented and developed everything. I'm with Trump the only immigrants that should enter this country should be from white countries in Europe. MAWA.Everything for industrial, military, aerospace and science purposes now is getting more expensive to produce here. The people who came here a century ago or so had talents.

They say you can't teach a racist fool anything, so leave the fool where he is at.The only thing African's might have invented was the spear.
Heck, they didn't even know about the wheel.
Well, you'd be back in Africa living in a mud hut eating bush meat and dying at 30 for starters.Yea, because the white man invented and discovered everything. Where would folks be if it weren't for the benevolent white man.
Not sure about that , but they would defiantly be Candidates for Useful Idiots of Marxism and socialism ( Kinda The way Black Folks are Revisionis history wrote into Woke Scripts of Historic Eras like in “ A Gentleman in Moscow “ or absurdly into most of the recent era Robin Hood Movies ...Well, you'd be back in Africa living in a mud hut eating bush meat and dying at 30 for starters.
I dont recall the irish costing us billions of dollars to take care of them,,,
and thats not getting into the drugs, terrorist and sex slaves being trafficked,,,

Ah, there's the Russian Communist Coming out.we don’t have a meritocracy….its The corporations fault.
You got it half right. A hundred years ago immigrants to America were coming from the right countries.
We;re not a socialist welfare state now.Except we were not a socialist welfare state and most of the people coming here had trades or some education.
While u were in Europe living in caves.Well, you'd be back in Africa living in a mud hut eating bush meat and dying at 30 for starters.
Yea, because the white man invented and discovered everything.
That's the lie you continue to tell.Correct. Now run along and steal some Skittles at Walmart.
That 90-million-dollar helicopter on Mars
That's the lie you continue to tell.

History of Women in IT: 6 Female Pioneers in Computer Science
April 19, 2018 | Purdue Global | Updated January 5, 2024
Women have played a vital role in the field of computer science and information technology (IT) developing some of the most essential components of modern IT. Just a few of the achievements women have made in IT include:
This article dives deeper into the contributions these six women have made in computer science and technology.
- Creating the first computer program (Ada Lovelace)
- Inventing computing methods and devices, like the compiler (Grace Hopper)
- Advancing human space exploration (Katherine Johnson)
- Developing programs that influence how today's computers work (Margaret Hamilton)
- Creating programs dedicated to studying technology's impact on social and ethical issues (Stephanie Shirley)
- Promoting diversity throughout IT workplaces (Megan Smith)
Ada Lovelace Becomes the World's First Computer Programmer
Ada Lovelace
London-born Ada Lovelace (1815–1852) had a passion and gift for mathematics from a young age. She is credited with being the world's first computer programmer, as she drafted plans for how a machine called the Analytical Engine could perform computations. The machine, invented by her friend, mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage, is considered to be the first general computer. Lovelace detailed applications for the Analytical Engine that relate to how computers are used today.
Lovelace is remembered annually on Ada Lovelace Day, held on the second Tuesday of October. The international day of recognition celebrates women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Grace Hopper Pioneers Computer Programming
Grace Hopper
American Grace Hopper (1906–1992) was an admiral in the United States Navy and a computer scientist who was one of the first programmers for the Harvard Mark I computer, which was a general purposes electromechanical computer used in the war effort for World War II, according to the San Diego Supercomputer Center. In 1944, she created a 500-page Manual of Operations for the Automatic Sequence-Controlled Calculator for the computer, which detailed the foundational operating principles of computing machines.
Hopper is also the inventor of the compiler, an intermediate program that translates English language instructions into the language of the target computer. This invention influenced other computing developments, like code optimization, subroutines, and formula translation.
Hopper is remembered at the annual Grace Hopper Celebration, the world's largest gathering of women technologists.
Katherine Johnson Executes Critical Space Calculations
Katherine Johnson
Katherine Johnson, born in 1918, is one of the women immortalized in the 2016 book and movie Hidden Figures. A West Virginia native and American mathematician, Johnson helped confirm the accuracy of electronic computers used by NASA and performed critical calculations that ensured safe space travel from the 1950s on. She coauthored a research report that used equations for orbital spaceflight in 1960, performed trajectory analysis for the first human space flight in 1961, and ran equations on a desktop mechanical calculating machine before the 1962 orbital mission of John Glenn.
Johnson worked on calculations for Project Apollo's Lunar Lander, the Space Shuttle, and the Earth Resources Satellite. In 2015, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Margaret Hamilton Takes Humans to the Moon
Margaret Hamilton
Margaret Hamilton, born in 1936, is an American computer scientist and systems engineer from Indiana who led the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. She is credited with popularizing the term “software engineering” while working on software development for Apollo 11, the first spacecraft to successfully complete a mission that placed humans on the moon in 1969. Hamilton's insistence on thorough testing is credited with the mission's success and safety of its astronauts.
The guidance software that Hamilton helped develop for Apollo was later adapted for use in Skylab, the space shuttle, and the first digital fly-by-wire systems in aircraft. Hamilton received the NASA Exceptional Space Act Award for technical and scientific contributions in 2003 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom award in 2016.
Adele Goldberg Develops the Blueprint for Graphical User Interfaces
Adele Goldberg
Adele Goldberg, born in 1945, developed some of the world's most notable programming languages that have influenced modern graphical user interfaces today, according to the IT History Society. Born in Cleveland, Goldberg is a computer scientist who created much of the documentation for the reflective programming language Smalltalk-80, which introduced the programming environment of overlapping windows on graphic display screens in the 1970s. She also was involved in creating influential design templates used in software design, some of which guided the development of the Apple Macintosh desktop environment.
Goldberg was the president of the Association for Computing Machinery from 1984 to 1986. Since 2014, Goldberg has been a member of the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies Scientific Advisory Board.
Stephanie “Steve” Shirley Founds Software Firm Devoted to Hiring Women
Stephanie “Steve” Shirley
Stephanie “Steve” Shirley, born in 1933 in Germany, is credited with advancing the essential role of women in IT and computer programming through the launch of her software firm Freelance Programmers, now part of Sopra Steria Group. The firm, founded in 1962 in England, initially employed only women. Shirley’s bio on her TED Talk page, which has had more than 2 million views, cites one of the firm’s most notable projects: the development of the black box flight recorder for the supersonic Concorde, a British passenger airline.
Today, Shirley focuses on philanthropy, including many projects related to IT, through The Shirley Foundation. She is also a public speaker and founded the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, dedicated to studying how the internet affects social, economic, legal, and ethical issues.
Megan Smith Promotes Net Neutrality and Tech Diversity
Megan Smith
In 2014, Megan Smith became the first female chief technology officer of the U.S. and served in the White House until January 2017. Smith, from Buffalo, New York, was a Google executive when she took the federal government role. In her position, she conceived the idea for a tech hackathon that resulted in improved protective suits for health workers fighting the Ebola virus. She also created a White House website dedicated to women in STEM and was the chief advocate for net neutrality, coordinating key meetings that helped lead to the protection of internet freedom.
Smith is currently the co-founder and CEO of shift7, which partners with other organizations and institutions on finding solutions to systemic economic, social, and environmental challenges. Their partnerships are just as diverse as the issues they’re trying to solve, from the Tech Jobs Tour, which stopped in 25 cities across the U.S. to help diverse and non-traditional tech talent find jobs, to the United Nations, where they celebrated entrepreneurs from around the world.
What Will Women in IT Accomplish Next?
Women's roles in IT and computer science continue to thrive today, as women are inventing new technologies, improving programming, and providing the public with tools that can be used to lead better lives. Women in tech today have advanced government IT systems, created special effects that populate top box office movies, and devised laptop computer developments that enable work from home and bring-your-own-device environments.
