Turing FTW! And lots of others. I think they have about the same incidence of intelligence/effectiveness as straight ones.

I agree actually. Gays are as intelligent as straights, on average. So are women. But I think it takes a real man to implement a complicated app.

a "real man"? I'm a straight white male and I'm insulted by that statement.

You have to be a troll to say something as ignorant as that.

> I'm a straight white male

I find it interesting that you decided to mention your race.

There's (in my country) something of a running joke concerning "WASP"s and the archetype I get lumped into.

It's just part of the whole mise en scene concerning my background and about how I'm supposed to be some sort of ignorant rich bastard or something. (FTR, I'm quite poor, an an atheist.)

I find it interesting you decided not to mention the point I was raising.

EDITS: Grammar, additions.

So you are not a WASP. Case closed.

I'm white and anglo saxon, the stereotype is created when someone sees me in person. That's the point.

You're a semantic troll. Bugger off YC, seriously.
