Does it annoy you when a show/movie/game has a feminine robotic humanoid character and refers to this character as an 'android'?

No.

Human/Robot mix = Cyborg
Fully robotic = Android

Cyborg is person with machines added, Android is an autonomous artificial intelligence in a humanoid robot.
That's correct for masculine characters, cyborg, AFAIK, is unisex but android is a masculine term. The feminine equivalent is 'gynoid'.

It's derived from the Greek "Androdes" meaning "As a man, manly". So you can definitely say it takes on masculine characteristics, but the modern term android is for a machine that appears to be human, "man" being used in the unisex fashion. It's a bit of a gray area, but I can imagine a show writer getting flack from a network for using the term "gynoid".

1) Piano.
2) I've never played Pokemon.
3) I've derived a lot of utility from this site over the years, and wanted to give back.
4) I was in the original NA PS2 beta. CACTUAR FOREVER. I keep playing because there isn't another game like it, and probably never will be.
Ever play The Elder Scrolls games? If so, what race do you prefer and which is your favorite Daedric prince?

I played Arena in college, but nothing since. I don't have any particular reason to avoid them, just never played them.
An actual question just donned on me. Alma mater and area(s) of study? I know you left a blurb about working in chem at one point.

I'll decline to give my alma mater here, except to say that it's a small liberal arts college none of you have ever heard of (for good reason).
I started as a chemistry student, changed to math, then math+computer science. I ended up with math+cs majors, with enough random classes for minors in chemistry, physics, and philosophy. That chemistry knowledge actually got me a job working for a scientific equipment company as a programmer. (lab equipment! testing it was fun)

The blood of the permabanned is this red. By contrast, Standard Admin Red™ is lighter, to denote our whimsical and jolly nature.

Rooks, what is your fave candy bar?

Whatchamacallit, though it's more about nostalgia than quality. I don't have a huge sweet tooth in general, the major exception being cheesecake.
