Ada at digg

[Martin Krischik]

Hello.

I dug out all Ada and Lovelace related articles at digg:

http://digg.com/programming/Hibachi_The_Eclipse_Ada_Development_Tools_Project
http://digg.com/programming/Programming_Pioneer_Dies
http://digg.com/programming/Ada_Byron_Lovelace_First_Female_To_Understand_Computers
http://digg.com/programming/Ada_Development_Tools_for_Eclipse
http://digg.com/programming/Lady_Lovelace:_your_computer_has_a_lot_to_thanks_this_lady_for
http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_flies_with_real-time_Ada_apps_on_Euro_UAVs

I think the last one is especially interesting! If enough of us digg as well
we might get a story to the front page.

What a lousy title.  While technically correct, it implies that women
were technically behind men.  She was the first programmer (period),
and just happens to be female.

How about: "Females understood Computers first!" :-).

Digg has been criticised for a certain misogynistic culture.
