   I was referring to high-functioning autism. Similarly, if one dislikes a particular food, they do not have a disease. If one dislikes all foods and refuses to eat, they have a disease.

   I wish they would just firebomb the poppy fields and get it over with. What would be wrong with that? They've been saying they would for years but always decide to 'wait a little longer' and never do anything.

   An estimated 1 in 150 American children has some form of autism. There's no known cure. I'm a little insulted that people still consider it a disease. It's like saying people that don't like a particular food have a disease because most

    I wish there were more merge extensions in git. For instance, I would very much like an extension that merged bitmap images in a fine-grained manner, such that I could specify if it's okay to merge two sets of changes or just select the lat

    What's stopping a site from just having an invisible iframe link to amazon? That would refresh that cookie on every page load.

    A better title would talk about "Why Should Engineers and Scientists Be Worried About Color in Data Visualization " I initially thought the article would talk about colours in the design sense, and in which case engineers shouldn't worry w

    Well, sorry. Maybe I don't have the font that I'm supposed to have installed, but the default that came up is stunning. I was being truthful with my comment.

    Could you do this for the ipod nano, 2nd generation? I've been wanting to get RockBox on it for years , but the firmware is encrypted!

    I really like that all the applications and windows, with the exception of the browser, don't demand your entire screen to be useful.

    I love the free market! Nothing's wrong with the free market! Buy what you want, people! I'm simply saying that, in my opinion , they do not offer fair value, despite what other people say. I'm of the opinion that Apple would have to low

    Nothing's "wrong" with people think it's fair value. It's just that some people think 2000 dollars for a laptop is inexpensive. I'm just saying that Apple charges quite a premium on their products.
