Yes, BOTH. I've caught myself profiling also at times.
Once I saw a youtube vid of a black boy throwing a cat against a wall. Immediately I thought of his "ghetto upbringing" and poor parenting as the cause. Then it occurred to me I had done some bad things to cats also as a boy. He was no stupider than the average boy of ANY color. (Turned out the vid was fake, by the way.)
(I apologize, cats. I was young and foolish and full of excess testosterone and had no girlfriend.)
In my opinion, that "problem" is caused by being stuck in a cycle. People who feel disenfranchised and unfairly profiled are less likely to follow the "rules" of a society they feel rejects them. Why would you want to follow the "rules" made by people you believe hate you?
Thus, they are more likely to commit crimes. (Job candidate profiling also means they are less likely to be employed, meaning they take more risk.) But being more likely to commit crimes means they are profiled even more, creating yet more disenfranchisement, and the cycle drills yet deeper, neither side blinking, and both sides saying, "the other guy should straiten up first, THEN I will straiten up also" = STALEMATE.
Politicians and pundits seem too eager to blame than solve the problem. If you can make a case that it's "the other guy's fault", then you escape "responsibility" to change yourself.
I'd argue that Triton (of Neptune) is currently the "most well studied known Kuiper belt object", being it already had a Voyager flyby. There's a good chance Triton is from the Kuiper belt based on composition, density, and its "backward" orbit.
But we'll have better evidence for that theory either way when Pluto is visited by New Horizons.
Maybe that's how humans evolved: Drunken apes selected the goofiest and silliest partners, eventually leading to humans. No true ape would tolerate Justin Beiber.
"Cool"? No. Nerds often want to work for an interesting and technically challenging start-up, NOT a "cool" start-up. Craig Newmark's approach is more to my style than say Twitter.
It's unhip, bland, outdated, but will probably outlast other sites, seeing how the herd transition from MySpace to FaceBook to Twitter to BorgFace (or whatever comes next) steps on the prior one. Craigslist is like Latin: it can't go out of style because it was never in style (in the post-Columbus era, at least). He has mooned and outlasted "cool".
Few accuse Craig of being "cool", except maybe in an eastern meditative libertarian nerd kind of way.
Stars traveling at that speed sound pretty deadly to me.
If there are gas giants around such a star, they may pick up some microbes along the way and these microbes may have sufficient protection in the lower atmosphere.
But I imagine an Earth-like planet would be heavily abused by fast encounters with nebula's, dust, and debris encountered along the way.
If they pick up life along the way, I'd bet on it hanging out in gas giants, not rocky planets. (Although such life may periodically drift from a gas giant to rocky siblings to repopulate them during the "good years" via comets etc.)
I am in higher demand than ever...But will it last?
The future of tech is unpredictable. Save up an emergency stash of funds just in case, especially if you are a parent.
For example, if somebody invents a GUI standard that displaces the messy convoluted HTML-based stack currently used for UI's, then programming could be greatly simplified and demand could stall for a good while.
This makes the 'revelations' of Galileo rather comical in retrospect.
How so? Galileo was working on the problem of the actual relationships of planets to each other, not so much sky-position prediction, which was more or less a "solved" problem at the time.
"Role playing" is more social. Boys tend to be more physical. Make it more physics- and action-based and you may see a flip, especially if you add explosions.

Just declare chimps as corporations, THEN they'll have rights.

"Pale Moon" is one possible alternative fork. Anybody want to recommend others?
