First thing, "you people" is a very strong condemning statement, even if its not intended that way. In academia we avoid that phrase altogether for its incredible potency in inciting anger and misunderstanding. I agree completely with what you are saying, a sedentary citizenry is the death...

Yeah, I don't like how slut is used to describe women who dress provocatively or who enjoy sex and pursue it regularly. It has a very negative tone and demeans women. I feel men and women should be allowed to enjoy sex and dress sexily without negative or positive labels attached to them.

Yeah, usually the news don't go into detail about the study methodology and results. An error margin would be nice.

I think a great example of the design of a female power fantasy would be female Hawke from Dragon Age: 2. Wears feasible armor, can use normal weapons that men also use, etc. Not too much exploration in the difference of being a woman in the game setting, or if there is even one. Maybe its...

I'm looking forward to this, and will probably pledge. Obsidian has always had such fantastic writing and quests. On another note: I'm a bit concerned about the quality of news reports on this site recently. It seems that the reporters like to add in their own opinions very often. In my...

I said average. I have fields of knowledge where I'm well read and competent, and others where I have absolutely no idea. Then there is the theory of multiple intelligences where you can be brilliant in one intelligence and very slow in another. So I don't really have a good metric to judge...

I enjoy gin and tonic the most. Usually with Hendricks or New Amsterdam. Wine, mead, and cider come a close second, however they tend to make me feel more drowsy and are often a little too sweet. Beer is good, but only at bars. I can't justify the cost otherwise.

I would say it is a mix of culture and biology, in my opinion.

Personal experience as an American living in Vietnam last year. In the 1990's there was a political upheaval in the communist party where a bunch of market reformists rose to power. They opened the markets to the public and allowed private ownership of all sectors except industrial production, I...

While SAS, Delta Force, Navy Seals, and Spetsnaz are all worth a strong mention, I think Red Cell is probably the most effective.

Hold on a second. They did raise awareness on 4chan with links about SOPA and the song "ro ro fight the power" playing nonstop. This was about a month or so ago, but they did try to get as many people involved as possible through the website.

My respect for Jobs just rose quite a bit. What an awesome man :) .

I enjoy that inner city London cockney accent (I'm not English, I don't know specific accents in England) and the Australian accent. Unfortunately almost all of the Canadians I have met sound almost identical to the Midwestern broadcaster accent.

Here in Indiana I just had to fill out the paper work and bring a money order to the sheriffs office for a background check. Then again, its Indiana.

I think Macintosh is a type of apple :) .
