What does that have to do with the apparent dependency of women on men? Wake up, there have been many matriarchal societies throughout history, not least of whom include the Mosuo in China, who practise polyandry with ongoing aplomb. The op hadn't much of a clue about what he was trying to say, except that teh evul wimmin were finally losing the upper hand in his brain because he could stick his prick in a machine.

I don't make the rules; the rules are that men pursue women for sex, women agree to stay with a man for security.
So that whole women entering the workplace thing has just breezed right by you eh? These are reprehensible sentiments - maybe you should learn to embrace and enjoy the pleasure women get from their own sexuality rather than being afraid of it and treating it as horse trading.
Thats a fairly stunning collection of pig ignorant misogynistic lunacies I have to say. Apparently the "value of women" is solely related to sex in your world. What, mamma didn't love you or something? To be honest anyone that would prefer to have sex with a machine rather than an attractive partner of the same species needs their heads examined, to say nothing of the universal availability of masturbation if you're that badly off.
It is not easy for a programmer to gain businessman's skills.
Salesman skills are pretty easy to master, just predict the objections and prepare rebuttals in advance. What's a lot harder to master is the confidence to go hat in hand to strangers and have a 95% rejection rate for weeks or months, which will happen no matter what you sell.
Steve Jobs was the right man in the right place at the right time, truly a towering figure, who will be forever remembered. Rest in peace, you left us too early. And I'm not in any way a fan of Apple.
There was one guy in Australia I think who had built up so much static charge he was leaving smouldering footprints in the carpet behind him, in a hotel, with plenty of witnesses. Here it is... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4252692.stm?lsm
Maybe if numerous containers could be joined into one larger one..? I'm fairly sure people have been paid large amounts of money to come up with a better solution than bulk/container ships mind you, yet here we are.
Some would argue that the last terrorist attack was a direct result of military interventionism though. Some might also argue that its the job of intelligence services and law enforcement to prevent terrorist attacks, and that the subsequent military costs could have been avoided by say not introducing security theatre and invading Iraq.
From the op: "Yes military spending is to an extent recycled back into the economy, but surely we can come up with something more constructive to spend it on if one must spend that money?"
Oh no tax them when they live, but tax them when they die a lot more. As long as the kids have plenty to live on, who's to complain? This "offshore black hole" isn't nearly as opaque as you think either, if large amounts of money goes missing, the taxman will want to know where. And I hope the kid never wanted to spend it, because then mister taxman will know where, and will take his cut plus penalties that will make the original bill look like a tip in your local restaurant.
It doesn't matter if the money is spent on actually killing people or not though, all that matters is that its only purpose is killing people. Infrastructure spending, now that's cherry. Coast to coast HVDC, effective high speed maglev rails, renewable investment and free municipal wi-fi in every urban area, hell coat the entire country in the stuff, blue sky science investment, all that and more, that's constructive. That has a permanent value, it pays off forever.
So easy to fix that. Just cut donations to the bone, and let each candidate's arguments speak for themselves. Of course anyone running for public office would also need to be fully audited once a quarter.

men and women evolved to have certain instincts and mating strategies
Goddamn brainless judeo-christianity has a lot to answer for.

I love living in the future.
Sure, that will stop the government: http://xkcd.com/538/
This is a problem that can only be fixed by fixing the government, no technological solution exists.
I cant even buy their nook outside the US. Dear god let this walled garden crap be over soon.
but I am not going to mince hairs.
Maybe you should split words instead?
Courts are not known for their sense of humour over hair splitting.
some chancer trying to score some easy hits off Jobs' death. Quality work slashdot.
Its not like western economies manufacture enough to feed the 'knowledge economy' beast on their output alone.
Nine of the top ten global exporters are highly developed countries though.

An approach which led fairly conclusively to 9-11.

Nothing says "invite me home to dinner" like roadkill-rolling chronic masturbators.
Not redundant - excessive.
