EU To Sign ACTA Later This Month 168
rysiek writes "At a meeting of Polish Government officials with Polish NGOs and business representatives it was confirmed that the European Union is poised to sign the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement as soon as January 26th. But all is not lost. The Treaty still needs to be ratified by the Euro Parliament and member states individually. The ratification vote is important, as it is an either-or vote — if not ratified there, ACTA gets rejected in its entirety. The Ministry of Administration and Digitization is not amused and has asked the Prime Minister (who promised this May to hold ACTA adoption until the kinks are worked out) to cancel the signing authorization for the time being."

I thought women were covered under the "programmers" moniker, considering the first one was one.
That is to say, If you follow history: Ada Lovelace, the first programmer, was a woman; If you follow the bible: Eve, the first woman, was a programmer (of Adam)... It's told she used an Apple.
