What makes you think I have one? I don't know, maybe throwing a nuke on India? That would effectively kill all the rapists. I really don't subscribe to the ideology of "we have to do something, no matter if it even does harm". I think that

I think I've heard self defense experts recommend against pepper spray. Not sure why - perhaps fumbling around for it in your purse wastes too much valuable time, and there is the danger of hurting yourself instead of the attacker? In any c

What do you mean?

It almost sounds as if she wants to be killed (stuff like that has happened before, prisoners taking their therapists hostage, for example). What a silly idea, sorry.

It's certainly valid to get inspiration from the human mind. Still not sure that requires a body, though. I often wonder how a human brain would react if it were born into a completely different environment (for example some virtual reality

Nonsense. Why shouldn't AIs be possible in completely different environments than humans? The assumption that bodily experience is required is just wrong. Why shouldn't an AI be able to live on the internet, for example? Also, human brains

Hm, weird, can't imagine that is true. So where does the caffeine in black tea come from?

A service that scans your Polaroids and puts them on Instagram might be more promising.

Get it - that makes sense!

OK, but patients should be equally frequent for both genders, so I don't see why this would evoke a gender bias for nursing?

That's a big assumption. I've been a software developer for 12 years and have yet to work on anything worthwhile. And Dilbert probably exists for a reason, too - most jobs are crap.

You mean it is easier for women to wash men's genitals than for men to wash women's genitals, and easier for men to accept women washing their genitals and easier for women to accept women washing their genitals? Or what exactly is the gend

"Why? It's a factor that helps bring more audience in." So let the market fix it, no need for affirmative action. It's just targeted advertising to move your product, at the end of the day.

What can I say, I guess I am a karma whore after all. Couldn't face the risk of accumulating a lot of downvotes.

What makes you think they don't better the world in whatever else profession they choose?

Isn't it statistically most often the woman who breaks up? I suspect that might be because it is easier for women to find new partners.

Total garbage, never heard anything more stupid in my life. </experiment>

My impression is he is simply doing his thing, can hardly be blamed for the hype surrounding him.

I think going against one's feelings in parenting can't be a good thing. Glad it worked out for you, though.

I can't even parse your statement. What is bad about not marrying a girl-friend? Because the women supposedly helplessly clung to their only hope of salvation in life, being married by some guy? I don't think that is the case in modern soci

I'm pretty sure that if you told your mum "hey, mum, here is a pic of my kid on Diaspora", she would join Diaspora, too.

Do people need to be told everything? I mean, they really can't figure out for themselves if they should rather use pen & paper or a computer for prototyping? Even if somebody tells them, shouldn't they still try for themselves? Maybe i

True - while I think it is solvable, I have less confidence that it will be solved :-(

No, but I assumed his problems where with screen resolution or something. Last time I looked, the Android browsers could render text. I actually use Firefox on Android most of the time. There are choices.

I actually find that interesting. Why can't we change our names at will? Is it because government needs them as a unique ID (combined with birth date and what not)? If governments had other IDs (and they do have social security numbers), wh

Seriously, they distinguish between mobile browser usage on Wi-Fi vs 3G? That doesn't make much sense, at least not if you wonder what device you should optimize for. Perhaps you could conclude that Wi-Fi surfers would tolerate bigger web s

Reading - really? What exactly was the problem with reading? I've read several very long ebooks on my Android phone without problems, and that was when I still had a Nexus One. For example I read Reamde which I think has almost 1000 pages.

So the terrorist plot would be to overload the power grid. Since they come from oil rich countries, they'd probably have the spare energy to do that :-) Place some oil powered generators at strategic locations and blam - darkness... But in
