Considering how regularly and spectacularly biology fucks up, wouldn't it be more surprising if cross-sex fuck-ups didn't happen? Intersex people do exist, after all.
The brain and the body are masculinized/feminized at different times in the womb. An in-womb hormone mess-up could cause transsexualism and/or an intersex condition.
A trivial amount of investigation would reveal that trans man/woman/person are the preferred terms. More descriptive than tranny, sufficiently "memorable," whatever that means, and completely inoffensive.
Sorry, they have no obligation to let you post on their site. It's their site, and they can do with it what they think is best. Fortunately, you can start a blog and rant away all you want.
Incidentally, I heard most scientific journals won't let just anyone publish articles. Talk about squelching dissent!
I found the comment section on Popular Science to be worse than worthless. Good riddance, I say.
Nope, Intel graphics. The switch was during the move to 3.11, although the 3.10 version didn't boot either.
I was also disto-hopping quite a bit to find out which KDE's installation worked best out-of-the-box (Gnome 3 devs finally pissed me off enough to give up despite my positive feelings toward the overall environment, and Cinnamon just doesn't do it for me quite yet). Fedora's KDE environment was actually quite nice -- it handles docking/undocking my laptop with a second monitor best, and it provided the best hardware support.
I'd still like to make Fedora my go-to distro, but it's just on the side of too unstable for me right now. It just needs to be a tiny bit more conservative and I'll be back.
There are many, many things I love about it. Looks great, decent community support, supported by a company that does many good things for Linux.
But, once again, I had an installation that failed to boot after an update last week. It's just too bleeding-edge for my tastes, and it has a tendency to have rough edges. Back on Mint (KDE), which lets me leech off of Ubuntu's repos without feeling dirty.
Still, glad it's around, and I'll inevitably try it again in the future.
Maybe in the short term. But in the long term, building strong economies has been shown, time and again, to reduce birthrates significantly. Stamping out HIV would remove a huge burden on these economies, making sustainable growth easier to attain.
The bad part is I'm still spending money I don't have to, and there's definitely an element of addiction at play.
The good part is my lungs much, much improved, I don't get tired climbing stairs, I don't stink, I'm saving a *ton* of money, and my risk of lung cancer it not much higher that of someone who's never smoked (as I'm not yet 30). I also get to play with fun flavors and stuff in addition to different types of e-cigarettes, which makes it a bit of a hobby instead of just a habit.
These things can literally save millions of lives, and they ought to be not just accepted but encouraged.
Check again when the Obamacare exchanges are available. New York is running their own, but the federally-run state exchanges are slated to be up in October. In California and Oregon, where the prices have been released, 30-year-old non-smokers can expect to pay ~$220-270/month for fairly decent coverage.
Not to get political, but Obamacare might be a tremendous boon to entrepreneurs/the self-employeed/contractors.
That little probe has been put through a lot. I guess it would be okay to let it come home a little early. Maybe it can help prepare a party for its rover friends when they make it back!:)
Steve Jobs had a rare form of pancreatic cancer that can actually be cured in some cases, according to this interview and other sources. His doctors recommended a radical surgery to prevent it from spreading, but he delayed surgery for nine months because of his belief in non-scientific alternatives. It is unclear if this delay made a difference, but it's possible that he could have been full-blown cured had he opted for surgery right away.

Wikipedia has a good summary of the brain studies:
Ta-da
And bad it was. Fractal badness.
I mean, really bad.
It shouldn't have been published in the first place, but at least they're admitting their mistake.
No phone calls on planes here in the US. Please.

I'm not his biggest fan, but he doesn't get the credit he deserves for his role in the creation of the Internet we all use and enjoy.

Fork a BSD variant, license it under the GPL, package it with GNU stuff, call it Hurd 1.0.

More anecdata:
I switched too, and I sure do love my e-cigs.

If taking a couple seconds to answer a CAPTCHA is too much effort, I probably don't really care what you have to say in the comment section.

Wow! Congrats!
