XRandR (REALLY-REALLY THIS! I cant use my colorhug without cripling my nvidia driver and switching to nouveau because of XRandR fail) and if you dont want to make your driver work with old cards, help NOUVEAU support them properly with just the knowhow, mainenance will be free.
It's as hard as learning to walk on wooden legs, hardness depending how much of your own legs you have left. But it will always be strange, like a man with wooden legs. I say hi to people. I never know when its appropriate, so I do it all the time just in case. Things you do without thinking and automatically I have to think about. And just like walking with wooden legs it tires you very fast. IT is good for people like me. Most of the day you can just do your thing quietly without too much communication.
Uh? If the mechanisms and inheritance are better understood it can lead ways to alleviate or avoid the condition. As someone who's significant other is officially diagnosed Aspie and a software engineer I'd like to know my odds and all the ways I could mitigate the risks. I would be perfectly fine with another Aspie/high functioning autistic in the family, but the more severe end of the scale scares me profoundly.
There is actually a precedent. There is the right to repair laws in EU that demand that hardware manufacturers make the error codes and service interfaces available to anyone.
Better news is that Linux hardware and windows hardware will diverge and we are excused from paying the tax. Or manufacturers provide an override. Or windows will get exploited to load Linux. And windows 7 is here to stay for the next decade. Nothing will stay locked if there is a need...
I think what your daughter describes is pretty much how you teach someone with Asperger's to consider others. It takes a lot of patience but it might actually work. Your daughter has the makings of a teacher I suspect:)
If you already can program then you can skip the QA and dive straight into debugging. Just one thing to remember tho, if the bug that's bugging you is present on the stable version that you are most likely to have, go get the development code first and check its still there. Then go join some developer haven where you can ask for pointers and then just dive into code. Developers are usually very very happy to see intelligent people capable of telling them where the bug is. don't rush to code a fix tho, without talking to developers first. There are many ways to fix an issue and most of them are wrong way of going about it.
Oh well... Nothing we can really do about it. Ive been using google mail for my main email account for some time now. It will be hard to replace it specially because of the aggregation/generic mail client features. But I guess I have to, since in google's book I am with my extremely stable(15+ years in use) pseudonym a persona non grata. Many people have extremely good reasons for using pseudonyms. I'm not one of them. I simply chose a different name to live my creative/online life under and I intend to keep it. If Google thinks that makes me unfit to consume their services, then I will have to find something else.
That just summs up to a very late variant of birth control. Less kids would leave more resources and thus better chances of growing into adulthood for those that are born. World is a zero sum game.
Birth control is the key. A country that cant feed itself probably has a shortage of medical services too. And without modern medicine giving birth is dangerous business, so any female would be very much interested in limiting the birth rate in a way that wouldn't depend on the males who only get the fun bits and none of the pain of giving birth. Giving away free 5 year birth control implants for example would save the world from many an extra mouth.
600 years ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic Put that into modern globalized world. Medicine takes time to catch up and if there is something that has a rapid spread and 3 day latency most of the infection would be done by the time people understand something is wrong. And for a killer bacteria to develop only one needs to survive sterilization and breed and yes of course there are people who drop their antibiotics way too soon and use all sorts of aggressive cleaning techniques on household surfaces or do other stupid things.
We wont even need a war that becomes inevitable once resources get scarce. No, nature will take care of it first. The more there are people, the more densely populated the world, the more likely is a proper pandemic. People go every day from one end of the world to another. All you need is a germ that is highly contagious, lethal and has a 3 day latency period and most of that 7 billion will drop dead and it wont even take very long. This is bound to occur within this century. All the highly sterile environments we insist on keeping are perfect breeding grounds for such a disease.
Windows didn't crash randomly after 5 minutes to 2 hours uptime. It crashed on user interaction. you could almost tiptoe around most of the unstable stuff if you were good.
Just to explain. Problem with this drug isn't that it doesnt leave the system. Problem is, that it is leaving way too quickly and brain doesn't really cope well with that.
Been there, done that. Just don't quit on your own. I did. It was an experience to say the least. If you get shocks now... Quitting will be horror. Get your doc to subscribe you smaller doses to be taken more frequently or just take a wet finger full off a capsule when you get the shocks. It should take them right away. The med has 9h half life. Your dosage is probably not staying as stable as it should.
P.S Im not a doctor, just someone who has been there and walked the mile. And at that time the med saved my life. But getting your head sorted has a better potential of success in the long term. Therapy FTW.
As someone who pulled a mildly warm turkey off Effexor... Don't suggest that to someone on this drug. For me the flu like symptoms and mood swings lasted for about 4 days, vivid dreams for 2 weeks and the "shocks"/brain freezes about a month. And I took a very small dose whenever things got too bad for the first 4 days. there is only one right way to get off it and that's gradually reducing the dose. Everything else requires a babysitter. And whatever the reason for taking the meds... It will come crashing back.
Trouble with this is that there is no defined list of BIOS-es that will crash or BIOS-es that work and no automated way to gather it, plus it would require maintenance. That can not happen in kernel. The distro's installer is perfect place to detect and configure grub accordingly but I doubt the maintainers are willing to shoulder the burden this brings.

Is that right enough for you?

I really hope you are right...

This is why I reject morality and go with ethics instead.

That is true for anything the person has valuable including banking codes. It doesn't mean they should not have access to their bank account.
Better news is that Linux hardware and windows hardware will diverge and we are excused from paying the tax. Or manufacturers provide an override. Or windows will get exploited to load Linux. And windows 7 is here to stay for the next decade. Nothing will stay locked if there is a need...

Because it's gonna bite :) Its working now btw...

The machine crashing randomly is CERTAIN to drive them away while power issue may or may not.
