Then this may be a difference between our countries then, as the UK's income disparity is less severe than the United States'. I was coming from an exaggerated hypothetical position to help explain the joint social influence that both sexes have over each other. There are a great many things...

Hypothetically, let's say that employees are required to negotiate their pay with their employers. We would expect those that can negotiate better than others will get higher wages than those that cannot. Hypothetically, let's also say that men are more often encouraged to negotiate than women...

No. No. What I'm suggesting is that it is socially encouraged for men to expect higher pay and positions, and that is not true for women; and that that is not a problem that we should disregard as something to be solved wholly by the sex it negatively effects as opposed to an issue to be...

Yes, in the United States women truly earn less than men. "By looking at a very specific and detailed sample of workers (graduates of the University of Michigan Law School) economists Robert Wood, Mary Corcoran and Paul Courant were able to examine the wage gap while matching men and women...

Played Rifts, D&D 4.0, D&D 3.5, Pathfinder, Star Wars D20, Serenity, and Spycraft. RIFTS: Expansive multiverse combining a very dangerous world with science fiction and magic. Good for heavily story-based games. I have heard, however, that the Palladium rpg books (of which RIFTS is a part) is...

I'm not sure. Samurai Jack Dexter's Laboratory Powerpuff Girls Avatar: The Last Airbender Teen Titans Cowboy Bebop Gunslinger Girl Wolf's Rain Fullmetal Alchemist Full Metal Panic! Romeo x Juliet Those are some American and Japanese animation series that I like. Perhaps it's...

My route-memory and navigation have been trained by my time spent playing games. It takes me between one and three trips to a new location before I've memorized how to get there, since that's about how long I would spend getting owned on new FPS maps before I figured out where all the important...

Again, from what I've read I find that they complete their narrative "checkpoints" well. There is obviously a "We're not done yet" feel to them, but the main development of the plot gets explored and resolved.

It's very good from what I've read of it so far. Though Martin's increasing delays in getting books out to finish the series does concern me a bit.

Because we carry heavy, heavy debt. It's not anti-American to say that our public school system is awful. It's objective assessment. If you think otherwise, that's probably more evidence of our poor system trying to convince our students that we're still this diamond of the modern world that...

Oh, also MGS:2. I totally turned off the PS2 when the Colonel told me to.

DMCA exceptions [edit] exemptions make it legal, at least in the USA. "A review of the four factors enumerated in Section 107 leads to the conclusion that making minor alterations in the firmware of an iPhone (or any smartphone) in order to permit independently created software applications...

Disagree. The only thing the company can do is decide to SELL it or NOT. Companies do not have a right to dictate how people can use their products once those products become the personal property of the customer. The only way that they can prevent that is if they're renting or leasing the...

Agree with the OP. No game has ever so successfully immersed me as Uplink did. It's strange, because the game is pretty simple once you "learn" how all the hacks work, but before you know what you're doing it can get quite intense. The devs did a very good job at committing to the experience...

In that case, you seem to be doing quite well. Thanks for clearing that up.
