"but there's a lot more to being trans than just transition."
I know that from personal experience as well, as someone trying to transition myself. personally, its not the easiest choice I've had to make (the choice being to attempt to do as much as I can to "be myself", or to be utterly miserable.) and I see it everyday. though it is NOT what defines me: i do NOT live a "transgendered" lifestyle: i live a "geek" and "gamer" lifestyle... being transgendered is just one more struggle in an already difficult life.
xbox live should be quite appealing to developers: if something screws up in network play, microsoft has to take the credit for it, and the developer/publisher get to point the finger and tell the consumers that "its not our fault, go ask daddy microsoft to fix it."
I rarely use the back button myself.... I open nearly every link in a new window. by the end of a browsing session, I usually have at least a dozen explorer windows open. that sounds like the same kind of functionality as the back-button you propose, except instead of going through a "history" of all the pages I've viewed, I get to switch windows.
I'm glad comedy central canceled it. I've seen similar shows. (they showcased a similar program, (from the UK, I believe, though don't hold me to it) on PBS a few years ago, and it was done VERY well, but the presentation of the comedy central version, well, no sir, I don't like it. maybe someone else will pick it up, and do it RIGHT.

for that matter, lets just hook up a collander to a copy machine.
if your kid can't go for that long without gaming, I feel sorry for your kid. seriously, though, if you're traveling, do you really need to take EVERYTHING with you? see, I have a computer and several consoles at home, but if I need to go on a trip, I leave them there. I don't want them getting lost/stolen/broken. thats why I have several portable options (gameboy being the most used option.) a game boy advance is not exactly PC calibur, but it is a very servicable little system, and if you're traveling, I'd assume you'd be busy doing whatever you went there to do: when I travel, the only gaming I do is on the way there or on the way back: I fill up my destination-time doing things I could not do at home.

that isn't the way to achieve tolerance. please, just go away: you're only damaging the credibility of the rest of us.

they COULD rebrand to simply PS/2, but then they'll have to pay IBM off!
