Let's not be silly here. Skype isn't built to fuck you, it just doesn't prioritise user security because people generally don't care enough about it to make it worth it for them. I don't know much about Telegram (having not heard of it until this thread) so I don't know how secure it is.

Yes, @Maxxie , they're mostly messaging/chat apps geared towards gamers

My (I believe) unpopular opinion:

I think gear aimed at "gamers" looks like arse. I just want something simple with clean lines and premium materials. Examples:
 
 
I like the look of Razer stuff, but I just want to use my stuff in public without feeling like a dick.
 

You wanna know an easy test to tell if its a monday?

lmao no
 
some people don't like the idea of "Mod" and they just gonna get the 50 bucks bluetooth earphone

You're talking about people who spent 750$+ on a phone without a jack. If they wanted the jack so badly they could have chosen any of countless cheaper alternatives that do have one. Or even an older iPhone. So no, I don't think a lot of them would be willing to pay for the jack, save perhaps those diversely intelligent individuals who believed they could drill a hole in it to get one.

No city is interested in having such advertising and be related to violence, sex, drugs, crazy drivers or other GTA/Mafia affairs. So mostly just legality 

Why would they use real names if the geography is made up...?

Looks like @Dackzy has better experience in this I'd trust him over me, as I've not used these headphones.

People come for the tech, and they stay for this thread. 

The Spectral Brigade?

Plenty of games do use real city names. The Division, Sleeping Dogs, Watch Dogs, and most of the Assassin's Creed series have done that. Those are games that are actively trying to recreate a real city.
 
The reason the rest don't use real cities probably has a lot more to do with artistic/design considerations than legal considerations. Tying yourself to a real city means players will expect it to be that city, and real cities aren't designed to make them great video game levels. There's probably a lot of value in the map designers having the freedom to do what they want. Real cities also have personalities and carry cultural baggage that will unavoidably be associated with the game—sometimes the developers want that, and sometimes they don't.
 
I don't think it's a major legal issue if a soulless megapublisher like Ubisoft is willing to do it so regularly. Such companies aren't known for exposing themselves to big legal risks.

never cross the streams

Here is some advice, look at your notes (which you probably did not take), Go to your TA (whom will tell you I cannot teach you everything you learned for your mid-term) and lastly go to class.

The answer to every IT related question is "Google it".

No, their website is all comic sans

To save your warranty I would recommend buying PSU cable extensions so you keep the warranty also you can make the cables look nicer.

I've got a few corrections to your essay there:

So you've read a bit about hormones, but what you need to understand is that gender is more complicated than simply being down to hormones. There could be genetic factors, factors about the womb condition, plus a few others. Also, you can't just take hormones that are counter to what your body is producing - that's just going to result in more mental health issues. The suicide rate is simply much higher for transgenders in general, pre-op or post-op. This is simply because there is an immense social stigma, and total dysphoria about the body they're in.

I don't really get what you're saying about gays and lesbians staying they're birth gender, but thanks for that, I'll follow your advice . My point is, gays and lesbians aren't transgender - it's an entirely different thing. homosexuality pertains to sexuality, transgender pertains to gender. They're statistically linked, but completely separate.

I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head about societal attitudes, but it also runs deeper - the discrimination has built up over thousands of years.

This point is just me being finickity. The children in homosexual relationships are still biological children, they're not machines .  However, a friend of mine is working on some interesting research that has generated quite a bit of buzz. The group he's in has discovered that it's possible to create a viable zygote using DNA from two sperm cells. This means that in the future it is entirely possible that we may see children with two biological fathers.

Don't worry about apologising for anything  

I hadn't heard about the suicide rate climbing after surgery, and I'm trying to think of a way to rationalise it. From my experience of speaking to transgender friends, often they keep the reassignment from a lot of people secret until they are undergoing the reassignment (In reassignment, I'm including all the parts that are necessary to begin the actual medical methods).So there could be friction and schisms that appear between family and friends that could make them suicidal. But from what I've seen, transgenders are much happier after transitioning.

I think you could be on to something about confusion, but I don't think it's a significant number, it's definitely more down to societal changes. It's such a drastic action to take, that I really don't think a significant number of people would do it just for attention.

Should be. I would use nitrile gloves as they aren't likely to contribute to building up a static charge. Though be warned, they will make your hands more sweaty

Unless you've got hands that literally drip sweat, I don't see why there should be too much of an issue without gloves. Just be careful not to touch any of the contacts.

HOW DARE YOU FORGET ABOUT ME?!?!
 

i was about to join the chat about the LGBT community and stuff ... but then i realized that i cant explain shit ... so i aint joining in ... 

The LGBT community is oppressed. But let's look at what you're suggesting. If I've understood you correctly, you're saying that people should seek help against oppression.

If you're being oppressed by your government, society, and religion - who do you seek help from? In the cases of westerners, where our government and society will help us, we frequently do turn to them for help. You can't blame someone for hating others who hate them with no reason. You can, however, talk to them.

OH YEAH AND BTW WE HAVE THIS SPECIAL SHITHEAD @Mister2010 /s
