Originally posted by ||bass You've missed my point. The cross-style d-pads are regardlessly capable of eight-point control using the software emulation, yet my original arguement was about the shape of the d-pad, not how control is interpreted. If both cross-style and circle-style pads are theoretically capable of the same level of control, then preference should simply fall on the shape of the pad, not the mechanics. |

Originally posted by ibz10g Transgendered people aren't out to stalk you, fuck's sake. Nobody has any responsibility to diverge any details about their past or medical history. I'm protected by law in Great Britain from anybody who tries to forcefully expose the fact that I am undergoing treatment for Gender Identity Disorder, and that I am "biologically" male. I've used the women's toilets and the world hasn't come to an end. It's a smelly shithole just like the Gents. Yet, I would get thrown out of the Gents just as quick as the Women's for the way I look- so what should I do? How would you enforce a law that prohibited me from entering Women's loos if I already can and do without a problem? Hell, I've been swimming without raising an eyebrow! The legislation is designed to benefit transsexual people, like myself, who are undergoing psychiatric and hormonal treatment. To qualify, you must prove that you have lived in the role of the opposite gender for two years- you can't do it on a whim, you can't claim you have the right until it is granted to you. You must also have the recommendation of a certified psycihiatric professionnal to qualify first. I'd say that's one tough standard to meet, and will sort out all the idiots, all the confused, and all the perverts. The quoted case of the "lesbian" is also a typically silly annecdote. This is one case that has been reported subjectively, in the opinion of the indvidual being interviewed. There are retards of all types and colours in this world- no less transgendered ones. Sadly, because of our status, these cases surface far more in the popular media, regardless of whether they are relevant to the legislation being covered. The legislation in Britain came about because my country was breaking European Law- it was infringing on people's Human Rights by requiring people to reveal personal details about their past to people. In our case, it is our former sex, our former names, and the attachment of a stigma that is innappropriate. Law has been changed throughout Europe to care for our wellbeing- something everyone has a right to in a democracy. Transgendered people specifically need the ability to be considered female or male under such circumstances because their health and wellbeing are at stake, they need to be able to persue permenancy of their gender role and some do not wish to persue surgery at all due to insufficient funding or they cannot accept the risk of complication involved. This legislation actually helps transgendered people pursue the permenancy of their gender role and prohibits people from taking advantage of such a status to deceive people. Transsexual people overwhelmingly are honest with the gender they identify with. Our aim is to be the person we are expected to be by judgement of our appearance. People see that I have breasts, long hair, fair complexion and are met with the corresponding manner when they socialise with me. My girlfriend is fully aware of my past (having known me since I had even begun treatment) and is fully supportive of my social and sexual transition. My friends are all open an honest and have accepted me to a respectable level. My work collegues are very professional and supportive. Policy that was created specifically for me (I was the first transsexual person my company has employed) was put into good use when another transsexual woman was employed shortly after I returned to university. Legislation similar to this is commonplace throughout Europe, in a high number of member countries. Society isn't collapsing here, neither will it in New York. New York is an incredibly metrolpolitan city, it will embrace diversity. This law is to protect a minority from discrimination, this is the process of democracy and law. If you speak out against the purpose of this law without truely understanding the benefit, you are unjustly attacking a minority of people. Apartheid was abolished to let black people to have the same rights and use the same public conveniences as white people- transsexual people should be given the right to be treated as the sex they have proven they are. Legally, I'm a woman. Socially I'm a woman. Sexually I am a woman. Genitally I am not yet a woman. Genetically, I will always be a man. People don't see my genitals or my genetics, arguably I am a woman in society. I have a girlfriend so I am not looking for a partner. I have legally changed my name, I am not able to benefit from my change of gender role fraudulantly. There is not one reason why what is in my pants or what I write on forms is of any consequence to anyone else. Legally, I'm a woman. But in reality, I am as well.

| How sad, I really expected Zophar's Domain to last to the end of the Internet. It might not've been the same, but it was a big name and for me at least still held some sway |

| Is this law just for restrooms? Or does it also apply to other things.. like could one partner in a homosexual relationship claim the other gender and allow them to get a regular marriage? (assuming NY has no gay marriage already)
Only if the partner applying for the change is living as a woman permenantly. Or, could a man claiming a female identity get sent to a women's prison? Again, only if he was living as a woman 100% of the time. You've actually picked up on a very important point here. A lot of transgendered people in prison suffer from sexual harrassment or assault because of who they are. They need special protection in these circumstances to ensure that this does not happen. Of course, this would apply to female-to-male transpeople as well. Not me!
It's your choice if you want to speak out here- you're perfectly entitled to your free speech. I would encourage you to elaborate on how you feel though, instead of just saying so and running off 
Please at least read the article first and think before you type- I don't mind discussing this issue openly with the genuinely curious, but I would rather not forcibly defend it. It makes me feel bad I said that. I'm a dumb 15 year old who doesn't quite accept things the way he should yet. . Sorry if what I say anywhere offends anyone. I started out on forums at your age too- and I was more than capable of forming my own opinions at that age. You are too. All I ask you to do is read the article and make up your own mind instead of re-itterating a stereotype that simply isn't true  |

| Yeah, in my experience at least gender stereotyping leads only to embaressment and problems. I do believe that modern society is too obsessed with gender although I also believe some gender traits are there for a reason. I don't believe that men and women must submit to these traits, but I think they should be able to mix and match how they choose.
Think of the use of "-chan" in the Japanese language (of course, from what I understand it to mean). It is usually used as a suffix for young girls, but it can also be applied to young boys because it describes the character and role of a person, rather than the person themselves. |

| If you already have a background in HTML go for PHP. PHP just manipulates HTML output and can also interact with a database, at the most simplistic level. Starting with the Acmlmboard might not be such a bad idea- it's where I started getting into programming seriously. The only experience I had before that was BBC Micros and MS QBasic.
Python comes highly recommended as a good programming language to begin with. It's simple, it's clear, it supports object orientation but doesn't enforce it, and it doesn't have a super-complex API that you have to master yourself in to get the most out of it. C# is a very, very good place to carry on from there. It's a much more up-to-date industrial strength language, but more friendly than Java. I've only been using it for a few weeks and I never want to see any more Java again |

For great justice. That's my Warlock in the background- I took the photo for my guild forum (of course, me being me they have the very best)
You can also see my posing mannequin for my sketching, a P-Chan mug and various CD-Rs holding content that may or may not be legal (edited by Kasumi-Astra on 11-11-06 06:01 PM) |

| How secure are the passwords going to be? Adding salt to plaintext? Moving away from MD5? Could be interesting.
I can't see myself using the useless bullshit much- apart from smiting all your posts, X |

Originally posted by Danielle Wikipedia Article H&M is a Swedish clothes shop, and has become very popular in Great Britain and has prominent stores in shopping centres and high streets. The one in Sheffield is the newest, and sits in a building that has just been rennovated at the top of the high street. Personally, I like H&M because you're more likely to find plain clothes that you can mix and match to look unique. Other popular clothes shops are often highly stylised, and make it tricky to find something you can wear to look unique. The jumper I found in H&M was a plain turtleneck, without any extra detail- and I love it because it's very simple and quite bold I was also able to get two of these for only £15- about $30, or the price of a discounted DVD |

| Have you guys seen this?
It sums up pretty much how I feel about this subject, and how ridiculous concepts of beauty is in the modern world. Things need to be changed. |

| I've got university tomorrow, and a meeting with my thesis supervisor to show him the latest progress on my forum project. I've got a dynamically updating thread list now and a brand new pretty user interface for it. Need a few more features and a clean-up, and it should be ready for it's first customers.
Then I've got to write the big software project for it- an automatic meta-data extraction and categorising system. It's going to be great
That's pretty much it for tomorrow- Chad's got a UBRS planned in the evening, so I'm pretty much free to do what I like. Probably more work on my forum, I expect. |

| Python and Pygame are a very good option for 2D games programming. Python is a free programming language that you can use that is very easy to learn and much cleaner the C++ or Java. It's nowhere near as powerful but with experience that will not matter.
Pygame is a free games development library for python. It offers you a lot of useful tools to help you develop your own games. I managed to knock out a Ski Free clone within the space of a month. There's also a big community to help you along, and a big pool of games you can download to see how they work. You'll get a much bigger boost using these resources rather than learning how to use C++ on your own
