Men heavily outnumber women in Silicon Valley, owning mainly to the perponderance of testosterone in the computer industry. A dating club, seeing its chance, is staging a mixer in Palo Alto this weekend, guaranteeing that every women who attends will meet at least one good man -- or get her money back. Maybe it's a good idea, but the organizers need to work on their timing. They did the same thing last year in Alaska -- another largely male domain -- but they scheduled it to coincide with the opening of bear-hunting season. And this weekend, Silicon Valley may be short of guys, too. All the geeks are headed for Comdex.
