As amusing as this story must be to the greater nerd community, it's categorization is questionable. I speak from experience in saying that challenges faced by those with Asperger's are hardly a laughing matter- or an idle concern. Despite the humor inherent in mental disorder, laughing at the struggles of a boy painfully isolated from the world is cruel.
It would be helpful for the patient to be able to use the shoe GPS themselves. My relatives with Alzheimers often forget where they are or where they are going, or how to get there. A small screen similar to car GPS systems could use the shoe to help the patients find their way around. On a different note, where can I get one of these for my sister?
Oops. I meant to say "Can they make realistic simulations of situations that occur in real life, by plugging in the same rules, amounts, physical constants, etc., or is the technology limited to tap water?" Thank you for correcting my mistake.
simulate real systems yet, or just computer-generated ones? Better simulations of the relationships between fluid and sound would be fascinating if applied to superfluids (Ahhh, the soothing sound of superhot plasma).
Technology the already exists, and has for a relatively long time, can be used to let some paralyzed patients communicate through computers. The subject of one study by Brown University and Massachussets General Hospital in 2006, Matthew Nagle, preformed all the functions listed in the article. I'm waiting for the mind-control implants ...
for the world is hollow and...brZAP...I...ZAP....give up....
submersibles actually manage to stay at the bottom of the trench for extended lengths of time? Short visits can only tell scientists so much about ordinary conditions. A permanent unmaned observation station could record a much larger data sample. Now all that's left to do is develop technologies that can withstand the pressure and power themselves of sulphur-feeding clamlike tube creatures.
The girls have no interest in that sort of thing, nor any male that has such aptitude.
My all-girls high school requires Calculus. Most students go on to AP and Differntial Calculus before graduating. I am personally very focused on math, science, and technology. Your point?
According to an article in Education Resources Information Center (ED445192), there is no difference in career preference between men and women. Additionaly, a New York Times article hosted on the Stanford University website found no difference in the performance of men and women in a mathematical competitions. Furthermore, many females I know, including myself, wish to pursue a career in science or math. However, I would be happy to see your statistics.
All new technologies take a long time to start up. Internet voting saves paper, not to mention ballot counting time. The sheer ease of use for computer owners will make up for the high error potential- after all, who notices who runs our country? Besides the citizens. And the strongly US-linked international economy.
It is possible. But in many occasions it takes a ridiculously long time. Aether, geocentric solar system, aristotles belief in the four elements...
the list goes on.
I didn't think about that. Thank you for correcting me. I meant that many types of scientific research are not discussed beyond their own academic communities.
Scientific misconduct and other types of misconduct have different effects. If an engineer turned out sub-par work, it would not perform properly, forcing him to correct it. Scientific fraud is much harder to find, though no less important, because it has no real world affects.
Scientists have falsified data since the dawn of scientific discovery. The real qualifier is for what reason. Inventing a completely bogus substance with obviously impossible properties and no proof is accepted, even lauded, when it shores up shaky Newtonian proofs in relatavistic physics, but when a a major corporation pays for it it becomes unacceptable. The only way to promote scientific integrity is to have private, biased companies fund all scientific research, so bad ideas are shot down by an angry scientific community. Of course, there is a chronic lack of ability in science to find the bad ideas...
The same technique has already been used for Huntingtons. The monkeys with the damaged genes are glow-in-the-dark. Although admittedly slightly disturbing, the technology has already proved valuable in fighting disease.

F=m$? I'd like to see that.

Is how he posts through the roar of highway noise. Then again, his parents will never force him to turn of the computer and go outside.
