I checked the Periodic table and couldn't find Klingonium (Kg). I believe it will be discovered somewhere in the 160-190 range of atomic numbers as a metaloid with an irregular "ridged" f orbit electron pair. Mark my words...
I would assume their statistic includes the entire spectrum of autistic disorder classifications. To oversimplify, from lesser to greater impact on individual functioning, the most common diagnoses on the spectrum are Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), Asperger's Syndrome and Autism.
Quick search of AutismSpeaks.org for TSC turned up this:
Tuberous Sclerosis
Individuals with Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) suffer from learning and behavioral deficits akin to those observed in autism as well as epilepsy. In TS, depending on the study, up to 60% of patients also meet the diagnostic criteria for autism. The defective genes are TSC1 (hamartin) and TSC2 (tuberin) which normally function in a complex of molecules important in cell growth and division. The complex is a suppressor of mTOR signaling. The link to autism turns out to be the PTEN molecule, which similarly functions as a suppressor of mTOR signaling. Some individuals with autism have been found to have mutations in the PTEN gene. Mice deficient in the mouse PTEN gene display autism-like behaviors, as do mice that have low levels of TSC1 and TSC2. Importantly, there is a drug that can function like PTEN, TSC1 and TSC2 in suppressing mTOR -- rapamycin. In the animal models, rapamycin normalizes learning deficits and reverses some of the abnormal phenotypes. Therefore, rapamycin is undergoing clinical trials to determine whether it can be an effective medication to alleviate the symptoms of TS. (Drs. Alcino Silva, Kevin Ess and Luis Parada)
Not exactly what you asked for, but essentially the reverse relationship.
The cost for custodial care of a moderately to severely impaired autistic adult is an order of magnitude higher. Not to mention the very guilty feeling one endures for choosing to put someone into custodial care.
Having studied the autistic spectrum to some degree, this provides hope for only a few of the range of autistic symptoms. To learn more, check out Autism Speaks.
Actually, they'll have to map the whole thing to hopefully locate the flavor genes. Others will benefit from the data shared in PIPRA (love the acronym).
As to the organically grown chocolate covered peanut, since they grow underground, how would one know that the dirt had been adequately washed off?
You can blame AF Space Command. This was accomplished years ago as a challenge project by a team of young AF officers under a "fresh ideas" program. Teams are formed from selected applicants and given a small budget and few weeks to develop and execute a proposed space related project using off-the-shelf, commercially available items. One of these teams was concerned about GPS jamming and built a jammer. Range was limited, of course, but the threat was proven to be real.
As others have pointed out, brute force jamming is easily discovered when one knows what to look for. Fortunately, that was the second part of the project, development of methods for detection and location of a GPS jammer.
Sadly, it seems they weren't the only ones with the idea.

There's also a good chance of alienating a key vote by bothering them over their break.
Easy, listen for "Narf!"

Today's belated visit shows an increase over their previously published statistic.

that that is is that that is not is not is that it it is
That that is, is. That that is not, is not. is that it? It is.
Now I won't have to worry about the scoundrels for a week. The issue is, am I referring to congress, the telcoms or both? Hmmm.

I think Naomi Campbell has prior art in "gesture calls."
Wow, that's a /. sig plus less than half a punched card. Most /. posts would end early to mid-rant. You'd never know if they had a valid contributi
I'm a program manager, so that's like totally different.~
Why can't they just overlook it instead?
Yeah, the closest we can get to normalets is orthogonalets.
I thought he was already mad. Hmmm.
To Anthropogenic Climate Change.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!
And the number of diverse projects they are pursuing, it's actually quite an accomplishment. Not very exciting to most, but still an accomplishment.
How studying "climate change" in TFA automatically got translated into "global warming" in the slashdot summary. No bias here. ~
So, only the political ones are?
