I didn't call it an article. Read what I wrote again. I was making a statement to encourage the community to post most articles about women in technology. But thanks for the snarky comment.
This happened to me (although I was not brilliant). My social awareness (or whatever you might want to call it) only developed when I started university, and it made me look at what I was studying with disgust. Having said that, I think the advice given by Salon sucks. There is no "finding yourself" this is bullshit, there is only "making yourself". You have to choose and you have to throw yourself after your choices, there is no way to think yourself into life.
I always liked this Baudrillard quote: "The modern ideal is to make your life what you want it to be. In reality, that is what you do when there's no other solution."
That sucks. I'm not sure how the images are supposed to expire - I'm using year old images in VirtualBox and while I occasionally get messages saying Windows cannot be authenticated I'm still able to use them.
