Your son is obviously autistic. His actions are highly unusual, get him in to an autism specialist immediately.
With early treatment he has a chance of leading a semi-normal life. Good luck!
As a parent of a child who is "on the Spectrum," I view your cavelier attitude towards a glib diagnosis and/or dismissal as incredibly insensitive.
To the original post, if you feel your child is exhibiting odd behaviors, by all means get him checked out by a battery [and I stress battery] of professionals. Get second opinions, because opinions vary from profressional to professional. That said, there is nothing wrong with technological fascination in a child - feel free to nurture it! We have found sites like http://starfall.com/ to be incredibly awesome, especially if the child is verbally/lexically inclined!
Looks like this may be a way to make a play for competition in homeland security and business support, like Palantir has done plus medical data tracking, and other possible extrapolations
I'm fairly sure it's not going to be used for just generating websites.
You have to consider the fact that internal IBMers are still required to use internal mainframe software for some accounts. Because they're ingrained in the process. A lot of the philosophy is "if it ain't broke [obviously], don't fix it"
IIRC, every internal system comes with Firefox on it, or has it pushed via the IBM Standard Software Installer [ISSI], so it's not like people don't have the browser. It's just a matter of whether or not you have the resources to retrofit older processes to be Firefox-compliant. Given the general bean-counter-based perspective of the company, I doubt that this will gain much traction.
Remember a few years ago when IBM pledged to move to an entirely Linux environment? Hasn't happened yet and there never seemed to be any further push for it. Or when there was a company-wide push to use their awesome internal solution to remote VPN connectivity [IBM Connect]? It decidedly got shelved when a contract with AT&T was renewed. So, yeah, like I said, not gonna gain much traction
I read the comments on the Gizmodo story and everyone seemed to be hunky dory with the cap at 2G, since they didn't go anywhere near there with their current plans and they were keen on the tethering.
Am I off base, but won't tethering vastly increase their data usage? Seems to me that people will be paying an additional $20 plus potential overages
When I used to live 5 miles from the Canadian boarder I would hear nightmare stories like this all the time. People, despite being in the US would find that their cell was roaming to a Canadian tower because it had a better signal. It was bad then, even before data. Now I can only imagine how horrible it must be.
Happened to me when I lived in St. Albans, VT, which is about 15 miles shy of the Canadian border. Granted, I could've easily been lying about not going up and crossing the border and using my phone, but I wasn't. And luckily, the folks at VZW were pretty accommodating at the time and made sure it was cleared from the bill.
Surprisingly enough, Red Swedish Fish and Killian's Irish Red go really well together, as well - wonder if anyone else could commiserate with me on that?
Norton seemed to find it as that, when I received it (both the fancy MS Update and the other, obvious "we couldn't send this to your destination" note...
Their pages here shows nothing about the worm I saw and here seem to corroborate with the misdiagnosis...
Should we worry about the RIAA revoking our Blockbuster (or other rental agency) membership cards?
After all, if I can have easy access to a movie (a few bucks), can't I just as easily copy the movie with a VCR/DVD Copier/Computer with DVD Burner/etc?
Never thought of lumping Blockbuster in with KaZaA before...
Does anybody know what sort of processor the 'Q' is using? Is it the custom-designed PowerPC that IBM did for Nintendo, or is it something else? And if it's not, will this affect gameplay in any way?
True, it could have been the third Jones sister, but I thought it was Amy 1.) because they talked about her relationship with Holden being made into a comic (from Chasing Amy) and 2.) (dagnabbit, the IMDB Entry doesn't agree with me)...
In a sense, I thought that the movie nicely tied everything together (if by everything, you mean Jay and Silent Bob walking off with Suzanne at the end of Mallrats)...
But seriously, if this truly was the last Jay and Silent Bob flic, I'd say that it was a nice finale. I laughed so hard for the second half of the film, once everything got rolling. And the cameo's were terrific (Jason Biggs and James Van Der Beek as themselves, Joey Lauren Adams playing Amy, and her "friend" Trish, who was played by Renee Humphrey, of Mallrats notariety; Carrie Fisher playing the nun, that Harvard bastard from Good Will Hunting playing himself, etc). And what about Mark Hamill playing a Batman-type villian in something other than just voice (for those who don't know, he plays the Joker on Batman the Animated Series)...
Call me easy to please, but I loved it simply because I like paying attention to silly, tiny details and seeing references to them in later films. That, and simply put, Kevin Smith put forth a funny-ass picture. Kudos...
AIM clients and AOL clients can interact with it (provided you have an AOL/AIM screenname); in fact, MSN, Yahoo! and ICQ users can interact with it, too (again, provided you have said accounts). And it works as a IRC client, also...
Wait, but if we're just introducing more moths to the population, won't it just balance out in the long run? And it's not like we're adding a gene for Anorexia to these moths; they're going to want to eat, too...
Probably, the sterile moths will settle down with a fertile mate, and then we'll have many instances of moth infidelity, 'cause you know that moths that are sterile can't please their mate, wherein the child moths will have the characteristics of the milkman-moth, and then there will be moth domestic violence and what is this world coming to. And that's when it all hits the fan!?!

I don't have Time-Warner, and I still see the pop-up, seen here in a screen shot...
We subscribe to Cox in Southern California.
Sad Admission: We have to use Lotus.
No choice in that, by corporate edict...
THEN
And thus you have at least two divergent paths, and people left out of the loop (don't even begin on reply-to-all issues)...
Where are the lions? And the myriad of chromatically matching drivers?
And Pidge? How could they forget Pidge???
Wouldn't that be a 20x20? He ordered a 4x4 and added a 16x16.
Actually, comes out the be pretty economical, as the burger/cheese combo comes out to $1.01 per patty/cheese unit.
Also, they probably got a small Coke because some In-N-Outs have free refills (I think the Santa Ana one does).

I can make it so that I can prevent telemarketers from calling me by following these steps:
Sounds simple AND cheap; I'll get right on it...
Did it come across as Worm.Automat.AHB?

Just my dos pesetas...
Boromir dies? Next thing you know, they'll be saying that Gollum was a Hobbit or something...
Crazy spoilers...
THE FELLOWSHIP BREAKS??? I thought there weren't going to be any spoilers! All that procrastination for nothing...
Does anybody know what sort of processor the 'Q' is using? Is it the custom-designed PowerPC that IBM did for Nintendo, or is it something else? And if it's not, will this affect gameplay in any way?
And we can see that I haven't seen the dang movie since my Freshman year of college. My bad; I stand corrected...
True, it could have been the third Jones sister, but I thought it was Amy 1.) because they talked about her relationship with Holden being made into a comic (from Chasing Amy) and 2.) (dagnabbit, the IMDB Entry doesn't agree with me)...
Oh well, mebbe you're right...

Use Trillian...

Again, that's http://www.trillian.cc
Why don't they just play sound from a porno clip or something.
No, that would lead to an increase in the already frightening 15% accidents caused by masturbation at the wheel...
