So I was watching a hot rod video yesterday with my son. These two guys rented a Lambo and a hot rod. What they were surprised at, and what I was surprised at was that women were much more interested and gravitated to the hot rod over the Lambo, and men were more interested in the Lambo than the hot rod. We had a discussion in the house about it and decided that it was because men were interested in the engineering, power, and general sexyness of the lambo, and the women were interested in the ruggedness, artistic nature, and individuality of the hot rod. Also my wife said the guy with the Lambo probably has a small penis, but that's out of the context of this conversation.

Here's the video.

Am I the only one that things genetics, and the way our brains work has some angle on this? I mean, just watching my kids grow up you can give my son a stick and it's a gun, a bat, or he will combine the sticks with other sticks to build a fort. Give my girls a stick and they will break it and make candles for a cake they made out of sand. Granted the girls are willing to sword fight with the stick too, but they don't hold the long term interest in it that my son will.

Sexual tendencies don't mean sexual discrimination. Personally I'm hoping my girls will go into some sort of higher education type field, but if they are happy in life to be a mom and raise great children then who the fuck am I to get in the way of that dream.

We have a play room for my son and two daughters, who are only a 3 year spread apart. I try to teach my girls building and whatnot, but they will straight up take the Lincoln logs and make a cake out of them, or cookies. My littlest girl does nothing but talk about being a mommy to every doll, stuffed animal, or whatever. It's not like there isn't at least some genetic angle on this.

With that being said my girls are very creative with drawing, and enjoy building sand castles, and whatnot. But my son gravitates to trying to take my drills and hammers and do stuff.

This was a great interview. Thank you Slashdot for not being tunnel visioned into only tech.

Google adwords, people looking to hire hacking talent, dunno lots of people would probably want to, unsure of who might want to be seen as supporting them.

Chemicals, Reactions, Explosions, Response to those, Causes, Effects, new technologies to stop these problems in the future being discussed?

What about this is NOT science, technology, and stuff that matters?

I'd be pretty interested in a GIGANTIC explosion in France, and I'm from Texas. Also it does have a science angle, because it's a chemical plant, and I've been interested in the discussions of how to deal with chemical fires in this thread.

So.

Fuck off, and have a nice day!

If they write the website themselves, and have some sort of advertising for income then 2000 is fair. It doesn't have to be some big corporate conglomerate professional website. Sometimes doing things on a shoestring is a good way to start. Why burn a ton of cash if you don't get the people contributing the way you thought you would?

Who's country records and uses against him every fucking move he makes outside his house. Something most British seem to be pretty cool with so why in the word would he give damn about google?

The job of a bank is to make money, as with any commercial entity :). Lending money, an screwing depositors is just how banks usually go about it, but sometimes they can foreclose on a well paid on property and jack up the legal fees to eat all the equity, so they do have other nice little streams of revenue :P

A 600 dollar phone you could sell on ebay for 200.

You are a FOOOL.. ok yea she's hot, but I have always loved zeta.

Why? Nobody laughs when someone pulls out a 1500 dollar macbook, when the 300 dollar acer will do everything that the macbook will do that 95 percent of the population would need.

Just picked up a note 2, and I'm pleased as punch with it. Sure it's ridiculously expensive, but so was my gaming pc, and I enjoy that too.

I also drive a beat up 10 year old vehicle that's been paid off for 8 years. I don't enjoy vehicles, it doesn't mean I laugh at people for driving nice ones.

Yea, but for some reason google eats my calls sometimes completely and they go to VM. I'd like to at least have a chance to answer the call reliably. I use GV for my business main number, and my cell phone number direct is seperate. I'll be sitting at my computer and the browser will start ringing, but it won't go through to the cell phone. Sometimes it goes right to GV voicemail without ringing the browser or the phone.

And you can actually make and receive calls, and surf low bandwidth sites at a crawl in at least 60 percent of the areas you are in.

Just switched from sprint to ATT yesterday. Who gives a shit about unlimited data when it's so slow you could max it out for a week and not hit 1gb. I have to get customer calls, one missed call could mean losing a lot more than the measly 30 bucks more a month between our two phones.
