I have very acute senses, or rather I have very acute processing of my senses. I am always painfully aware of what distracts, irritates, and bothers me
For example, if you were a straight woman and I were a straight woman, there'd no chance that you'd treat me 'specially nice because you feel romantically/sexually inclined toward me; but if you were a man, you might do such a thing. In this latter case I thus have a potential advantage
Sorry, but no. In the latter case, you might have a potential advantage; which in many cases, you don't.
At some point you jump from: [gay, sexist, neither] to [gay, sexist], ignoring the possibility of finding a man that simply won't treat a woman "specially nice".
all straight men will treat particular women in a way that they'd never treat any man, by definition.
Being straight doesn't imply being sexist. Neither does being gay, man or woman.
Many men have little problem in making a clear distinction between future partners and other people.
Meanwhile, if you're a straight male - no matter how "intelligent" - you might be just a little bit nicer to the skirt than the fat greybeard. Doing so (or wanting to do so, even if you try and fail at repressing it) is what defines you as heterosexual rather than homosexual or asexual, after all.
Heh. I should've said "in a low gravity environment".
But now I think that we could build one of those rotating rings, with clear walls so the sun reaches the grass.
I can see it now. The guy jogging around, dodging the cows as he goes around the circle.
New exercise: Imagining this toroidal clear ship, with grass oriented towards the center, which would be the optimal orientation to the sun?
- Perpendicular: to receive the same amount of sun everywhere. Put mirrors to get a better light angle and simulate night by making the walls opaque. - Diagonal: In a sharp angle to avoid the sunny part being shadowed by the other side of the torus. However, in that case, how big would the torus have to be to have reasonable days and nights and eathlike gravity?
I wonder how hard is to create a closed artificial environment with cows, plants that feed them. All powered with sun for the plants and manure for everything else; including the robots that manage everything.
Then I wonder if cows and their food can live in space.
Can't you see its offending 1.6 billion people, yet you go ahead and do it.
So? What if I want to offend 1.6 billion people?
What's the maximum amount of people I should be allowed to offend? 1.5 billion?
About the rest of the post, I won't even comment, as rational discussion of religion looks a bit pointless. After all, I don't know how much value have rational reasonings to someone who believes in sky pixies.

I thought you could pretty much install whatever you wanted in your Android.
Are "alternative" OSs so inferior compared to the official upgrades?
ethnic and racial differences are dramatic (and no, I ain't white =p).
Don't worry. You don't need to be white to be racist.

You should make a list of all those things.
For example, if you were a straight woman and I were a straight woman, there'd no chance that you'd treat me 'specially nice because you feel romantically/sexually inclined toward me; but if you were a man, you might do such a thing. In this latter case I thus have a potential advantage

Those who desire to steal securities in order to gain freedom will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
Wasn't the plural of "ninja" also "ninja"?

Are you saying all men are sexist or gay?
Taking into account they released it, and they probably used it to predict its own success; this will either:
- work, and be a success
- not work, and fail.
The future is here!
Depends on how fast you spin it.
You spin it at one revolution per day, or you'd get no Earth days.
The question is how big it would have to be to generate Earth surface gravity while rotating at 1RPD.
windows 7 is nice, but the cool things now are cell phones and tablets. for that you need a mobile OS with a footprint of under 1GB.
Or a bigger phone.
Like, sleve sized, phone.
A one foot wide phone, attached to your arm. running W7.
Carefully directing the exhaust from the cooling system, it could double as a jet pack.
a radius of 42000km
Wouldn't that generate an artificial gravity equal to that of the earth at 42000km of altitude?
Heh. I should've said "in a low gravity environment".
But now I think that we could build one of those rotating rings, with clear walls so the sun reaches the grass.

There's no gene for fate.
Maybe not, but there's one for AWESOME!
No. Sadly, I don't have it.
In today's news:
Just a small sliver of web users are victims of Browser History Stealing. Most are running Windows 7, connecting through an IPhone and paying Facebook for the privilege.
and how much of the oceans are devoid of life?
The black, oily, part.
Oxygen? Extremely long chained hydrocarbons?
Yeah. And trees.
If you find trees, there's most probably life.
I don't caim having read every single one, but I think this is the dumbest news item in Slashdot in months.
Maybe intelligence is just concentrated in a small sliver of it!
my fellow admirer of the pornographic arts.
It's better to just say "man".
Otherwise we'd end up with heroes called Superfellow-admirer-of-the-pornographic-arts.
Indeed, and my last response was so careful because I'd have answered just as you did, had I interpreted what you did.
Cheers.
Those who don't make plowshares STARVE.
Unless they find those who don't have any swords left, because they beat them into plowshares.
Or you think medieval nobles did much plowing.
What if some guy or some country becomes so insecure or so desperate that they'll stop bothering about retaliation? Emotions are irrational, you know.
That's the problem you solve with a secret service and a tactical team.
I'm not sure how those could intercept a missile?
Imagine you've got $2M and want to buy a missile.
How far do you think it would fly.
In English, the names of days of the week, months and languages are capitalized.
Which is why this:
tethering for US-based iPhone customers may happen sooner than later."
makes no sense.
It's already "later".
"sooner" was the release day of the first IPhone. It's been later ever since.
