derdale, Fla. The six costliest ''female''
storms caused $13-billion (U.S.) in damage, compared with $53-billion for
the six worst male storms. Meteorologists say this difference is just the

I'm a firm believer in the ability of anyone to achieve success in any

longer to learn that not everyone starts from the same point, and not
everyone's efforts are rewarded as quickly and easily as min

their divergent approaches to Free/Open Source software are exemplary,
that's all. Personally, I like what both of them have to say.]

to heart, and to change my language and hence my assumptions.]

Lastly, it occurs to me that a repository of technical women's CVs hosted,
say, by LinuxChix would be a very valuable asset to my company and a great
many others. Does such a resource exist? If not, would others be interested
in building one?
