Happy Ada Lovelace Day!

[Dave Mason]

I am not without a sense of humour.

However, I find this thread to be sexist and misogynistic.

Ada Lovelace deserves a place beside Boole and Babbage as the original
pioneers of what would eventually become computer science (there are
those who believe she understood Babbage's work better than he did).  To
demean that memory by a cheap rif on a name shared with a porn star is,
well, let's just go with disappointing.

It's no wonder that people at large still look on computer geeks as frat
boys, or that young women mostly see no respectful place for themselves
in computer science.
