Really, it goes way down to the young age where you buy a barbie for your daughter and legos for your son.
Watch this, The Gender Equality Paradox in Norway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ2xrnyH2wQ
That being said my daughter got lego from her mom :). Researches claim such preferences are built-in in humans.
Which pretty much rules out biological differences and puts the blame on culture.
...Or b/c the job is well/better paid and the jobs in other 'female' preferred areas either scarce or not-so-well-paid (or both), the opt for that choice.
Also in Eastern Europe there are probably over 90% men in the IT.
The ask is *always* greater or equal to the bid unless there are few sources and an option for arbitrage - here comes the microseconds decisions/orders. Market price is getting either the bid or the ask, depending which side you are at. And of course, it might be possible to place a bid or an ask on an arbitrary price in the "book".
I am just shocked how such basic info can be so eff'd up - makes the entire article look totally amateurish.

they are tech houses with a bank or trading license and organise acordingly.
It aint happening ever. The chiefs are just suits and the computers are the necessary evil. I realize it's too simplified and any pointers to real-world stuff is strictly banned.
These systems are all over the markets; particularly in the FX arena.
Overall FX is unregulated, a lot of FX is retail and the retail is bound to lose its hard earned. The retail FX players don't really have micro-seconds strategies or possibility to execute in such manners. With that regard, the big players/brokers can effectively trade against their own clients

If staring at strippers is your thing, then at least comes to terms with the fact that the girl you're staring at probably wouldn't be there, given a real choice.
That's way too bold of a statement. Different people enjoy different stuff. While I do not claim all strippers enjoy their job, many do. Do you seriously believe all girls working in the industry do it for the money solely?
Also what do you define as "real choice": many people despise the idea of working as 'developer'?
you're actually doing them a favour by staring at their tits.
Again that's what you say: have I mentioned I like staring at their boobs? Like I told it's not possible to speak about technical stuff with/to them (sometimes it's not even possible w/ speakers on a conference but it's beyond the point). However, they would rarely decline informal chat.
Strippers also chat but that's also beyond the point.
I am no virgin, I have a girlfriend and regular sex, I also enjoy striptease.
Labeling it 'nerdy' makes no favor, just accept it for what it is. I suppose F1 is pretty nerdy as well and much are all auto-shows.
So having young beautiful girls who like to show off their bodies is a plus to the tech. exhibition. Of course, the girls featuring the products won't be able to answer any question but you can't have it all.
Paris, coz she doesn't like nerds either.
and no present tense of the verb to be
My Russian is rusty and overall bad but that's a common misconception. There is such verb -- есть, it's just usually skipped unless it means 'have'. Yes, it's the same verb that means "I am" and "I have". And even Russian is not the single language to have the same verb for 'to be' and 'to have'

If it's client based authorization, i.e. asking apple if something has been bought - it's only normal to be able to "hack", no much security can save the case.
If the application relies on the server (3rd party) to provide content then the hacking won't be viable. I really see no news here.
According to Borodin, only developers using their own servers to verify in-app purchases are able to dodge the hack.
I found that quote a bit later - and it has always been known to be the case. It's not possible to reliable authenticate anything without a 3rd party doing the authentication That's why there are root certs.
As a last note: If Apple is willing to sign explicitly all transaction tickets responses with a private key, then it will work. SSL alone can be fooled by root cert installation but an explicit offline public key - not so much.
