Indiegogo would probably allow it though. See for example [1]

Yes, not all new computers are fast (calculators, cars, µC, etc).

> Latest stats say that about 13.8% of the top 10,000 websites run CMSs. If we just focus on CMS-powered websites, then the percentage of vulnerable sites is much higher:
> Thus, 230 / (216391 * 0.138) = 0.77% of websites running a CMS are vulnerable.
I don't think those numbers mean what you think they mean.
13.8% out of 10,000 doesn't say much about the top 216,391. And perhaps 0 out of 230 of the vulnerable websites use CMS, however unlikely that is.

But nope, after disappointment and going back to the beginning, he says he's not talking about HTML:
> What I’ll try to demonstrate in this article is how powerful modern regular expressions really are.
And not even a warning about how easy it is to make really terrible regex.

But to clarify, I'm not looking for "the answer" and my question still stands unanswered: what is the socially accepted view of women's sexuality in other cultures?
My only experience is with the US where there is a huge demarcation, generally based on the gender of the belief holder, and generally advertisements etc are weighted towards a masculine point of view for women's role.
Perhaps it would help to explain I've never taken any "gender studies" classes or similar, so this is a question of mere curiosity.

Twice this mystery company is referenced, but never a name is mentioned.

1) Woman asks for higher salary; 2) she must be a bitch. 3) Therefore, she is taken less seriously.
What does that even mean?
