    No, I'm not saying that. You need to read more carefully, and figure out the difference between the volume of an imaginary sphere enclosing a mass, and the volume of that mass (hint: the imaginary sphere can be any and all sizes greater than or equal to the volume of the mass).

    When you decide you want to stop acting like a child and actually learn something, try reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss'_law_for_gravity

    Wow. Next time you're going to try to insult someone, at least have a clue what you're talking about.

    The enclosing sphere has nothing to do with the volume of the object. It's the imaginary sphere at the relevant distance from the object's center of mass. The object's volume does not enter into the equation at any point.

    Where did you learn physics? Gravity is NOT a result of mass divided by volume. It's 1/r^2. That's mass divided by the surface area of the enclosing sphere.

    I'm also a stickler for the rules, if for no other reason that I don't want to give the airlines any reason whatsoever to make me pay for extra services I don't want

    Airlines (most?) don't charge if your bag is too big when you get to the plane. They only charge if you check the bag at check-in.

    Because of this I have a bag that is bigger than the guideline, but still fits on anything the size of a 707 or bigger. Since it's a travel backpack no one ever tries to stop me with it, even on tiny planes (I routinely fly on a turboprop route). I've never paid to check it, even when checking it on roughly 50% of my flights.

    You're assuming facts not in evidence: the burden is on you to show that there should be any benefit at all in the first place. Why should there be any tax cut involved in raising children? The idea that there should be seems moronic to me. "Because there's always been one" is not a reason.

    What's really fucked up is that you think that YOU, I assume an adult, are equating someone talking, that you really don't have to listen to, with a preteen children learning about anal sex.

    Protip: Your daughter already knows what blowjobs, cunnilingus, anal sex, crack, meth, and tijuana coffee cream are. Even if she hasn't done any of them because she knows someone who has.

    The only thing you're protecting is your own fantasy that she doesn't.

    This is the internet. You claimed to have watched a video and not understand something that was patently obvious if you had watched it.

    No, they don't. That sort of water-brained thinking is the reason the iPhone does so well in spite of its imposed limitations.

    Android vendors need to explain this to customers. Customers have no duty to understand what Samsung, HTC, and Motorola fail (intentionally I think) to communicate to them.
