You haven't moved to a new country with a new culture alone ever, have you?

From a biologists perspective, there is more to that. There is something called sexual selection - in part, sexual preferences drive the production of offspring, and thus the offspring that result tend to have similar sexual preferences. An example is the peacocks flamboyant tail.

Peahens prefer peacocks with large tails. Therefore, the next generation of peacocks and peahens are born with the trait of "having large tails" and "preferring large tails" respectively. This keeps repeating as a positive feedback until the peacocks end up with enormous tails (of no functional use) and peahens end up with a huge preference for those tails.

Humans are also sexually dimorphic. Sexual selection has definitely occurred in humans - leading to the "female" and "male" body stereotype. Human females are stereotypically smaller in height than males, have less body hair, higher pitched voice and hip curves and breasts. Human males are stereotypically broad-shouldered, with a larger height, and deeper voice etc.

This is possibly a reason why men find a woman taller than them less "feminine" and therefore trigger the uncanny valley syndrome.

Can Ubuntu for Android actually replace Android?

Will it have a mobile mode? It will have to be bundled with a WINE-like compatibility layer to run existing Android applications. But this should be substantially easier than the WINE-effort consider Android is at its core also Linux.

Very likely, yes. For a price. Can you afford the price?

I mean, I get it. Open source and all that. But here is the simple deal.

1. You trust Kapersky to act in good faith and use their solution to protect actors against bad faith.

2. You don't trust Kapersky and don't use their solution.

It's a contract, every contract is based on good faith.

Presumably having learnt that the Japanese have a sophisticated and ancient culture, far more insightful and humanist that any Christian doctrine could ever suppose to be, do you think/find that the missionary endeavor is a condescending and pretentious practice?

(I know this may offend you, but I've wondered if the missionaries themselves realise this. Please know that no offence is intended)
