I've heard that. Another explanation I've heard is that women are usually expected to keep everything clean at home, and are just glad to make it someone else's problem. By comparison, most men are used to just minimizing the extent we make something dirty.
And here's the thing. It doesn't really matter one jot whether it's in the brain, or genetic, or a "mental illness" or anything else.
The two most important facts here are that it's very real to the transgender people themselves, and it doesn't harm anyone to let them be the people they believe they are. While every "treatment", be it ignorance, anti-transexual therapies, or whatever, other than "letting them be who they want to be" seems to cause immense harm to transgender people.
You know, right now, who has a more progressive stance on this than North Carolina? What country right now is shining as a beacon of freedom and hope to some of those in an AMERICAN STATE, a State that's part of a nation that was FOUNDED in support of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?
Yes, believe it or not, Iran has pro-transexual laws. They even pay 50% of the medical costs of a sex change. You can't be gay there (I'm not saying they're generally more progressive, just on this one issue), but transexualism is OK and they'll support you fully.
Meanwhile, if you're in North Carolina, a transexual female needing to go to the bathroom has to decide a high risk of being "outed" and beaten up, or being arrested.
If a woman wants to use a men's room, I couldn't imagine anyone complaining
I... wouldn't be too sure. Men usually have relatively high standards for their restrooms, while (reportedly, according to every woman I've spoken to, I've never been in one) most women treat public restrooms like truck rest stops.
No it didn't. Even if you count from Windows 1.0, and start counting from 1983 despite it not really being available to the public until 1985, that'd be 12 years until Windows 95, or 11 until Wolverine (the official Microsoft Windows for Workgroups extension.)
But in practice there wasn't really a high demand for TCP/IP until well after 1990.
I suspect they're way ahead of you - I doubt any self driving car manufacturer will allow you to buy a car from them. It'll be leases and rentals from here on. If you were a manufacturer of one, would you allow someone to buy your product and be responsible for its care and maintenance when you're the one who'll be sued if it kills someone?
Yeah, I know. You grab your Kindle, remove the charging cable, step out the door, and then, quick as a flash, two weeks later, you get a low battery. Who hasn't had to put up with this. Only the other month, I was kidnapped, and when they released me a week later, my Kindle's battery was barely half full! What if my wife hadn't paid the ransom? I'd have been left with nothing to read!
I have no idea what you're referring to. Your comment starts with "no" implying I'm "wrong", but then you address some issues that have nothing to do with people renting DVDs and using the VUDU PC app to turn them into Ultraviolet Digital Copies.
Can it be used to economically produce Daraprim, and also would Martin Shkreli be hurt in any way if one of these machines, programmed to make Daraprim pills, were to fall on his head?

Another option if you want to keep it: Rent on Redbox, take it home, use the VUDU "DVD upgrader" app on your PC to purchase an online copy ($2 for same quality as original, $5 for an upgrade from DVD to HD)
I haven't done it yet, largely because I'm the kind of disorganized idiot that Redbox makes money from (ie I'll rent something and then weeks later finally get around to returning it), but...
They don't. They assume that if the phone comes with 16Gb and has no expandability, that 16Gb is probably "good enough" because what manufacturer would come out with an explicitly crippled device that cannot be upgraded, not even for cold hard cash?
There are a lot of 4Gb Android devices - with only 1.6Gb free, which is immediately reduced to half a gig as Play Store automatically updates all the software - but virtually all of them at least have an SD card slot. Some of them even let you use the SD card;-) (That's another story... thankfully, reportedly, Android 6 has the ability to just fuse the SD card and internal storage together, though some manufacturers have disabled that functionality...)
If I understand him correctly, what he's saying is that the only way to avoid the war on terrorism from turning this country into a totalitarian state is to pre-emptively turn our country into a totalitarian state by electing a despot.
I woke up and saw this story on the Guardian's website and thought it was an April fool too, but no, apparently it's legit. Google played a prank, kinda messed up the UI for it, and people are very upset and Google had to pull it. If it is a giant meta April fool's, then there's a lot of independent, often rival, groups cooperating with one another to pull it off.
It's also past noon in the UK, and the Guardian has revealed a different April fool's article is "their" April fool, so they're sticking by the story.
What, continued development for at least three years?;-)
And, for all their faults, Microsoft hasn't been ignoring rivals. Skype for Android is available and up to date, and if anything development improved on that after the Microsoft takeover (the first Android version was released shortly before Microsoft did) - the original was pretty awful and couldn't route calls over Wifi, for example.
The client for GNU/Linux still works, I still use it, no it's not perfect, but I think it's a little too early to imply Microsoft is to blame for Skype's poorer showing on that platform. Microsoft does seem to be playing better with the other children of late, hopefully it'll continue to do so, and the hopeful note at the end of TFS will be well placed.
I'm pretty sure Google wouldn't sue over it. They've made no threats to do so, even though both Microsoft and Amazon have spoken of creating their own Google Play Services replacement.
In terms of Google controlling Android, the only thing they've done is insist that their partners - that is, members of the alliance - only ship Google's version of Android. They've never shown any inclination to sue third parties for any use of Android whatsoever.
Yes, but they're talking about Ubuntu, not "Linux". Ubuntu can be whatever Canonical wants it to be, but even allowing for that loophole, they certainly can make a Ubuntu that feels like Ubuntu but eschews Linux in favor of another kernel.
It actually would be relatively easy for them replace Linux with the FreeBSD kernel, for example. Windows is a harder project, but it's do-able.
I don't think it's worth $30 either. But in the above, you're technically incorrect on a few points, which is the best kind of incorrect;-)
You most certainly CAN format shift the movie and make backup copies. However, this doesn't mean you can transfer to DVD (yet), it just means you can download local copies. These are still DRM'd, and require a custom player, but the movies can be viewed offline - be it on PC or tablet - you don't need to use the copy stored on your retailer's servers.
In terms of reselling, technically no. On the other hand the big UV providers do allow you to share your library with other people - for example this is how you do it with VUDU. So you can at least let other people borrow your discs, in a virtual way.
It's a different system and has advantages and disadvantages over physical disks. The main disadvantage is that theoretically they can screw you over at any time. The advantages - well, it's extremely convenient, and makes most movie watching activities extremely convenient.
I have good eyesight, but I'm not seeing myself buying a 4K TV, let alone spending $30 for 4K movies, any time soon.
There's a lot of redundancy built into it. For example, you don't stream from Ultraviolet, you stream from any company you've linked your UV account with. As an example, you can buy something from Walmart's VUDU, and stream via M-GO, Flixster, or any of another half dozen companies.
I like having a physical copy of a disk, but I have to say UV is very nice and very well done. Also you can upgrade your old DVDs to HD for $2.50 a disc using UV, which is pretty good considering the cost difference between Blu-ray and DVD alone is usually double that.
There are honestly quite a few websites I'd use in place of the app if it wasn't for the constant messages "reminding" me that there's an app for the same thing. Plus Android's Chrome either doesn't support the notifications API or else hardly any developers do.
Twitter's mobile website is, at the moment, actually better than their app. But I can't get it to tell me I've got DMs or mentions without manually going into it, and every time I go into it 1/5 of the screen is turned into an annoying "BTW you should install the Twitter app!" box. Every time.
Bungie previously made the Marathon FPS for the Mac, and Halo is a spiritual successor to Marathon
While the first version of Halo was released after the Microsoft acquisition, it was already in development when Microsoft bought Bungie and actually came out for Mac OS X. I used to play it on my TiBook.
Office 365 Online works fine under GNU/Linux in Firefox FWIW. Though personally I don't find it good enough, it does strange things with tables for example (which render perfectly fine in preview mode but not when editing the document... and this is true regardless of browser/platform, I saw the same behavior in Edge)
Office seem to be taking the dumb-it-down approach these days, while LibreOffice seems to be focusing on usability without losing core functionality. I'm not actually opposed to what Office is doing, I think the Office Mobile apps in particular are a pleasure to use, but LibreOffice does, for one, seem to be doing it just a little bit better, albeit more slowly.
As for your corruption issues, I have no idea, but there are doubtless a variety of solutions including saving in other formats that the two suites share. These kinds of issues are mostly inevitable and a good reason not to keep switching suites mid project.
The (unsubsidized) Android phone I bought recently cost $30, albeit it usually retails for $50. Funny thing is the spec isn't much different from the Galaxy Nexus I bought four years ago (worse screen, no HDMI or NFC, but, with $10 microSD card added, more memory, better battery life, and it seems to be faster too.)
I know you wouldn't be seen dead there (yeah, right), but visit Walmart's prepaid section. The T-Mobile and AT&T phones can be used as-is with existing contracts for the respective carrier, just slot in the SIM card and you're done. Most devices in that section are well under $100.

So we need to make up words to prevent others from making very obvious jokes based upon puns?
BTW "secure" has the same psychological connotations. Just saying...
I've lost count of the number of laptops I've deformed or broke when I've slipped them into my back pocket...
