    There is only one question in science, though it has many variations.

    Why?

    Magnetic force does not fall off at an inverse square like gravity does, and is far more powerful. Maybe they should be looking into that first instead of making up invisible matter and energy. Then if that doesn't work then look elsewhere, but we are dealing with a religious belief here, not real science. It may involve a lot of science, but there is still a theory that they refuse to give up on even though it has been disproven over and over again.

    You forgot about something here. If all jobs have to be 50/50 there will be a shitload of nurses put out of work as well, so there would be extended unemployment, probably through WICK so that men could not access it, but it would exist.

    You're right, it is a symptom of a deep sickness in our society. Especially since the numbers on rape and sexual assault are symmetrical between men and women. He should certainly be giving his son, if he has one, the same talk. The sickness in our society is that we label men as evil-doers and women as precious, blameless, and innocent. Neither men nor women are inherently evil or innocent, yet when things like this are discussed it is done with the assumption that men are evil ravenous beasts that would rape every woman they meet if only we didn't remind them on a regular basis that it is wrong.

    The sickness in this society is that we are all biased and cannot see that we are. We are so concerned about the fact that women get raped that when you as much as mention that men get raped too you are treated as if you said that women don't matter and you hate all women. This is the true sickness in our society.

    I just can't believe that when a drunk man and a drunk woman decide to have sex that somehow the man becomes predator and the woman is a victim.

    Is a woman somehow inferior to a man when it comes to making drunk decisions to the point that she is absolved of all responsibility for her decisions while drunk?
    Is a man somehow superior to a woman when it comes to making drunk decisions to the point that he is always held accountable for his decisions while drunk?
    When a woman goes to a bar, blacks out, and wakes up naked beside an ugly man does she get to scream rape when she regrets it?
    When I go to a bar, black out, and wake up naked beside an ugly woman do I get to scream rape when I regret it?

    The answer to all these questions is NO! Neither sex should have any special privileges when it comes to personal responsibility. When you give women the ability to scream rape to absolve themselves of their own stupid decisions then you encourage them to do so.
    Have you ever looked looked at a situation like this and thought "how would I feel about this situation if the roles were reversed"? You should for every situation, otherwise you are going to fall for emotional beliefs which have no basis in reality.

    Ah yes, the crony capitalism mantra.

    "If you are good enough at your job then you have nothing to worry about"

    You know, it sounds a lot like the police mantra we hear over and over again

    "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear"

    The problem here is that both of them are complete bullshit. The cops just want more power to abuse you and the companies want more workers who are just good enough to do the job while being willing to accept peanuts to do it. These companies are not looking for the best of the best, they are looking for workers who will accept a low wage, work extreme hours, and be too afraid of unemployment to ever complain.
    If you are convinced otherwise you are either ignorant, or just fucking stupid. So, which one are you?

    Another reason they may use the larger version is that they simply have much more room to work with. In a CPU there is a very small area that can be taken up by cores since so many things have been integrated these days like video processors and the north-bridge. Here they have an entire pci-e card to play with, so they can use the larger architecture without worrying about space.
    This is merely my conjecture though.
