The idea is that sex and gender are not the same thing - one is, as you said, biological, and the other is psychological.
Yes, in the end it's all biology, but you can't argue that gender dysphoria is not a real phenomenon. So, the question you have to ask, is what's the best way to treat this condition? Is it to say, "Deal with it, you were born this, you are this," or, is it to give them therapy and open the door to procedures that do, in fact, seem to lessen the psychological suffering of such individuals?
It turns out governments are made up of people. Specifically, people you elect to represent you and do your will. For example, social program that help the poor.
That's a much better analogy, I agree, but even then you have to consider that someone could use your IP address without even being on your property if your wireless isn't secured or is improperly secured.
One could perhaps argue that constitutes negligence, but if that's the case every McDonalds and Starbucks in the country is in trouble.
Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed the topic of discussion was evolutionary penile changes due to condom use since that was the topic of the comment I replied to. If we're just making broad statements about evolution then, yes, 500 years can be significant.
I'm not sure why you would have phrased that like you were calling me out though.
I have found a paper on evolutionary rates of change. It calculates an instrinsic rate of evolution of.1 standard deviations per generation. If we call a generation roughly 20 years" we're looking at 25 generations over 500 years.
Unless you can provide evidence of a relatively strong selection pressure towards some penis change that makes condoms less effective, I'm going to go ahead and stand by my original claim.
For example, this1080p 15.6" model. I had never heard of them, but a friend ordered one recently and, wow, I was really impressed with the build quality. They keyboard itself is excellent and has a feel similar to mechanical switches. To top it off, the prices are really competitive. They're pitched as "gaming notebooks," but don't let that stop you. I'd use these for business in a heartbeat and, who knows, you might get some gaming in on the side.
Supermassive black holes (like at the center of the Milky Way) can be less dense than water because the Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to the mass and density is calculated using the mass and the volume of the Schwarzschild radius. Smaller black holes are much denser.
I will still need to install drivers and applications afterwards
Not so much for the drivers - maybe updated GPU drivers if you need 3D performance, but the same is true of Linux there. As far as applications, this is true but there's hardly anything Microsoft can do about it. Can you imagine the reaming the DOJ would give them if they bundled MS Office with Windows?
On T-Mobile (another GSM carrier, admittedly), I've always been able to talk and browse. I didn't even realize other people couldn't do it or that it was a big deal 'til I saw it touted as a feature on some commercial.

I do believe he was struggling with gender identity issues before this whole ordeal.

People can share IP addresses, but only twins share DNA?

Yes, because condoms have totally been around for an evolutionarily significant period of time.

I don't know if it's standard for Android, but Cyanogenmod definitely has a 2G only mode in the radio settings.
T-Mobile is 9.99 for unlimited texts... you know, for now.
Because I'm sure there will be a sizable size/speed trade-off, at least to begin with.
But not computer companies. Trademark only applies for people in the same business, like making games.
If I could trade in my free time at $50/hour and tinker with electronics during that time, I'd be all over it.
I believe he means running the software of the day on each machine, not running modern software on ancient machines.
True. You would think they would work out licensing in terms of a percentage of sales/subscriptions, but apparently not.
Not so much prosecuting as holding indefinitely, it seems... or is a trial finally getting underway?
I think you're confusing Sony and Sony Online Entertainment. They've got their own building, CEO, and everything.
But Vanguard is still going.
Any help relevant to Ubuntu is exceedingly likely to be just as effective in Linux Mint.

If that's the case, then it was hardly a fair comparison to begin with.
That's disingenuous. Windows still has standard version numbers in addition to the marketing names.
