I went to a couple of meets a few years ago with a friend, stopped after getting thrown out of the pub because I was ~16. I'm now 23, so erm.
Hey I remember you:) That was one of the reasons for the move to the Curry House (funky pie may have been involved) not sure where the guys meet now I presume the meeting room the current lugmaster has access to in Heath Town.
No idea who bil is though are you from Wolves LUG?
aspergers is only disabling because plonkers like you consider it a 'defect' it's a gift being able to outthink most people so what if I have problems intergrating with your society they pay people like me a shit load to solve the problems your neurotypical brains can't understand.
I wonder what the Nazi's you share thoughts of genetics with would have made your you and your defects? I'm pretty sure as a blue eyed british gentleman with a blue eyed son and a good scientific brain I wouldn't have ended up in a gas chamber unlike the majority of defectives who share their fucked up ideas.
Other symptoms can also be of various degrees, such as "stimming". My need to stim is very powerful. It manifests itself as constant foot or toe movement. Not really observable with my shoes on and not very socially distracting. I even do it in my sleep. It used to drive my wife crazy, but she got used to it.
I still drive my partner crazy after ten years with my foot movements so yours is really something special;-)
Obsessions can be particularly debilitating.
I think it's not understanding that other people don't care that make them such a problem.
I have aspergers as does my 7 year old son and we couldn't survive day to day life without a lot of support from our loved ones which we don't always acknowledge due to our lack of empathy generally. If it's hard for someone with aspergers it's harder for those that support them and I wouldn't have noticed this without a hell of a lot of help.
The inability to spot a lie makes life difficult among people who would like to take advantage of me, luckily I have learned the hard way to avoid these people but it led me to live an almost friendless existance for many years until I discovered it was certain types of people that led to my unhappiness.
I have suffered with depression for years caused by my inability to understand other people. I don't believe I or my son have a problem but the majority of people who lie and accept they are being lied to on a daily basis should probably book themselves into a facility for some care;-)
as for the getting lost unless your friend follows the same route both myself and my son are lucky in the fact that we can 'see' maps and know the topology of the surrounding area automatically. Unfortunatly this does make it even harder than normal when we are lost. It's impossible to describe the feelings I have when I don't 'know' where I am in terms I think you could understand this makes it impossible to sleep on journeys.
Like most people with aspergers I have things that I think should be done in a certain way and my son also has things he likes done in certain ways you can't imagine the clash that happens when these two ideas clash.
On the positive side I can talk to my son like an adult on some subjects (his maths is excellent) but as a negative he is very late at developing in some areas.
Certainly in the UK part of the diagnosis is that it 'has' to affect your day to day ability to live unaided.
geeks aren't generally aspies but aspies are often geeks;-)
Interesting banter between one of the original hosts of lugradio and one of the speakers at the event lugradio live could be scored off-topic.
Another example of how giving modpoints to twats who obviously have not read the story or understand the comments has turned slashdot into a kiddies playground.
you now have a chance to answer back in public, I'm sure Bill knows people will have read his bbc posts and have hundreds of nits to pick but the fact he is attending means he his willing to talk about these points.
I might fall out of bed and roll into the city centre to say hi;-)
It's pretty impressive that this thing has come together at all considering it has no corporate sponsorship and is being done for the fun of the event.
Imagine that no corporate interest just a bunch of hackers having fun. It's pre-takeover blues/. again.
Lugradio, A linux based radio programme from the UK, has an election special where several people from different political parties are interviewed. The Lib Dems come out looking pretty good from the snippets I have managed to hear today.
I don't feature in this episode;-) so don't think this is blatent self promotion (that's next week with the regular issue)
I personally will vote green in the euro elections as they have sensible views on europe wide issues such as software patents and environmental issues with none of the nationalistic shite that goes with the everybody skeptic upip. Don't waste your vote on the ukip they are fascists wearing fake smiles.
It's also probably illegal to deface the queens image on the note as it is here in the uk.
I used to put cling film over the tv so I could deface her as much as I liked every Christmas Day, perhaps I would have been better off with tin foil;-)
If the alternatives are all gpl it would be impossible to use BSD licenced software linked to the libs.
A good idea but you can't tell developers they have to use the GPL who might have reasons for not using it. Personally I do but I respect the alternatives.
If the forks use a G andthing it should be the LGPL to allow non-free and bsd sources to be linked against it.

But I'm proud to admit I was there at the very start, in fact I was there before the start.

Spot on, as an aspie I can't lie to save my life, believe me I put this to the test as a youngster and got a few beatings ;-)
example of how it effects my day to day life.
SWMBO
"does this make my arse look big"
ME
"No, your arse is big, I like big arses"
Honest but probably not the best choice at this point.
IMHO the parent deserves a 1+ because AFAIK this is the truth
That would be interesting but a bugger to search for
Write 'I must read at least the post before I comment' 275 million times and when you are finished you can use slashdot again.
How many lines contain expletives?
...but it doesn't matter it'll be posted sometime today ;-)

Harrods bombed during christmas shopping period by IRA in 1983.
I feel my privacy and liberty slipping away again.
ahh, you buggers. Now I have to change my ringtone from the Great Escape!

Oh, bad luck Herbster, see you next year ;-)
If your post confused people this one (from a Wolves fan) certainly will.
Oohh, I hope you wear something under the kilt for paintball or we could be painting your balls ;-)

you can gpl bsd licensed code, but you can't go the other way.
gpl xfree86 would disallow non-free and bsd licenced projects.
this is just as bad.
if you want to fork the code do it but either stick with a revised bsd licence or the lgpl
If the alternatives are all gpl it would be impossible to use BSD licenced software linked to the libs.
A good idea but you can't tell developers they have to use the GPL who might have reasons for not using it. Personally I do but I respect the alternatives.

Dam I just brought a Frinitron by Fony at Peckham market this morning. I was told it was rebadged Sony for the eastern european market.

Let's hope Dell Boy will give me a refund
