I don't know if it is a question of whether they are in or out of fashion. Some people can pull off pleats, but when they don't look good, they really don't look good. If someone is reading this primer, they are probably no

Did you actually read the article? She's wasn't upset that there was less bathroom capacity for women, but rather that this illustrated the (in her view) woefully meager representation of women at the conference.

At the same time it has received a ton of press up-front, in exactly the circles early adopters of the service would frequent. I think there is a feeling (right or wrong) that if the problems App.net purports to solve were really as bad a

>>Suits are uncomfortable... This tells me you've probably never worn a really well-fitting suit. I don't mean this to sound smug. I agree that for the work environment of the average coder, they are likely out of place.
