    Well, when I entered the forum this morning I've noticed that the "male", "female" and "unknown" icons were replaced with bright gray ones.
    I'm asking what's going on because I remember it happened once about a year and a half ago and then reverted.
    I'm just curious haha.
    Have a nice day!

    Pretty sure it's just a side effect of the software being updated. Either they'll stick with it or they'll change back to the old ones when the admins find time o/

    That said, that made me remember something I was asking myself a while ago.

    As we all know, the adult male and female brain are wired differently.

    That made me ask myself, is it a wiring difference like that between a corei5 and a corei7, or like that between an Intel and AMD CPU. Are the mobos compatible?

    If you install an adult female brain in an adult male body... does it work?

    Makes me wonder about the actual direction of cause and effect here.
