You, as a man, have had more privileges and had to put up with less shit from strangers and society, than women. There's really no getting around that. Guys have to deal with gender bullshit too (expectations of wealth, car, muscles .e

It is, but unless you actually are gay in real life and have had to deal with being called a faggot in real life, I'm going to have more sympathy for females who have to deal with sexual harassment online. They're both terrible be

> it's just words. Ignore them. This advice is pretty hollow coming from someone who doesn't have to put up with constant sexual harassment, who doesn't have to deal with cat calls and the fear of being raped that comes wi

You don't think there's man-on-man rape in the army? Even if it's "just an effective way to rattle somebody" does that make it any less terrible? Or not worth fixing?

I agree with this article but disagree with the authors choice to not call himself a gamer. Be the change you want to see in the world. Own the label and be "one of the good ones" and eventually you can be proud to call yourself a

This isn't a legal case. When articles are posted by men, people normally take their word for granted. But you're right, the analogy was probably a bit much.

Yes let's blame the victim.

It's not a distraction, it's a real issue in our industry, and one that isn't going away by plugging our ears when people try and talk about it. Yes, these things can happen to any gender configuration but it predominantly

Uh, that's never happened to me, nor anyone I know. And Steam Quality Control is good enough that games that bug-ridden will very very rarely make it through.

True, but it doesn't always play well with non-msft tech stacks.

Another shitty parallax product site. It detracts from the message when your presentation has yellow on yellow text depending on where your scroll bar is.

Can anyone explain why monitor and TV prices are so vastly different for the same size? Could you not substitute a small flat screen in place of a monitor and save a few hundred?

Before resorting to ad hominem attacks you may want to do some research on who you're attacking. Robert Khoo is neither a moron nor a psychopath. I disagree with his job posting, but it helps no one to attack the person behind it (with

You're being facetious, but you have to agree that even thought there is strict sentencing in the EU, America goes beyond the pale. We have higher incarceration rates than China, and even with their massive population we have more peop

Putting someone in jail for 10 years when they haven't harmed another person is ludicrous, but that's the American justice system for you.

Those are examples of terrible work life balance that would become only slightly less terrible with Office 365's version of the future. Meanwhile, Microsoft is promoting that slightly less terrible future as a Good Thing™.

You're conflating encryption with DRM. It's likely other people were using your open route, hogging your bandwidth and making your traffic slow, which is why when you went with WPA2 it got faster. It's impossible for encrypte
