The y just suppresses the female parts.
So the suppression of females by the Y Chromosome is natural, and this is what evolution has intended and achieved, and the general oppression of the women in the society is just a natural extension of what is going on in cellular level. So all the male chauvinistic pigs can now breath a sigh of relief, "we can't help it. we are born this way".
In some sense it is true to the societies too. We have not encountered measles for a long time. So we forgot how deadly this microbe is. And this allowed quacks and snake oil merchants to move it make some quick buck.
This measles outbreak, tragic as it is, will serve as a booster shot and help the society to appreciate the importance of the vaccination programs.
Anyway, FB is a lek. Its main attraction is it is the main attraction for a significant percentage of others. All it takes is for a significant fraction of the FB users to skip FB, its status will decline exponentially. Microsoft Windows+ Office was a lek. Everyone used it because everyone else used it. At some point the negatives out weighed the positive, and it declined quite rapidly and seems to be struggling to find its footing.
We have come a long way since the days of assembly and assembly in another name Fortran. But the overheads of the higher level languages have been masked a lot by the ever increasing speed and memory availability. Whole generations of programmers have come up, higher level languages with IDE and CASE tools from day one they fundamentally don't understand how the code actually works. They are continually stumped by the fact the code does what they tell it to do, not what they meant it to do.
Claim B: Claim A is an urban legend. citation 1 citation 2 and you can find more on the net.
Claim C: Claim B is an urban legend.
Now can someone set up some cameras and prove Claim C? That would be supercool, one level recursive urban legend.
BTW, BMW is taking Tesla challenge seriously. It is moving to i3 a plug in electric with a range of 100 + - 20 miles with a range extender engine giving another 80 miles of range. Scheduled for late 2013.
Lotus has been working on a integrated IC engine + generator on a single block, tuned for running for long periods at max efficiency RPM. There are going to be lots of competition in the Chevy Volt segment and the Chevy Spark Nissan Leaf segments. In fact BMW is trying to squeeze in the middle of these two segments. Tesla is conspicuous by its absence.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
