As a parent of, and personal sufferer of ADHD, I can't say I have ever heard it called autism. Do you have any documentation of that? Now Asperger syndrome, I have heard of being called a mild form of autism, which seems to be true as far as I have seen with my own behaviors.
Which is what happened with 1984, and is why Amazon had to pull the book and refund the money. The publisher that put it out on Amazon's store didn't have rights to the work, so Amazon had to reverse the sale.
Can you point to it for me, cause I see nothing saying that at all.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
In case you are having trouble finding the actual first amendment, there it is. The only place where it says government is in reference to petition for redress of grievances.
So Google should hack the external web server and remove the images from it? Google is linking to what someone else is hosting, they aren't hosting it, so have no ability to remove the image without breaking the law.
Anyway, I turned the GPS on (3 separate switches, plus 3 more for acknowledging that you're evil and want to steal my soul),
What?
and you know what, you never found me. Not in 20 minutes. The blue triangle just never actually found my location. It was useless. WTF, over. How can you actually be so bad at GPS? Isn't that the actual primary use of GPS, answering the question -- "where am I?"
Perhaps because you were in a bad location? GPS comes from the sky, it uses satellites, the signal is easily blocked by metal and water. If you aren't in the open, than it won't work. Plus, Google doesn't do hardware, what the hell do they have to do with your crappy GPS signal?
It is built into the GSM spec, there is a "database" server that stores the disallowed phones. Not sure about Verizon or Sprint though. AT&T chooses not to use it, as they see it as another customer...evil bastards.
Experimental research of tokamak systems started in 1956 in Kurchatov Institute, Moscow by a group of Soviet scientists led by Lev Artsimovich. The group constructed the first tokamaks, the most successful being T-3 and its larger version T-4. T-4 was tested in 1968 in Novosibirsk, conducting the first ever quasistationary thermonuclear fusion reaction.
A fun Easter egg would be that if you switched it to walking directions is responded that you can't just walk into Mordor. That is just directions between two places that happen to have interesting names.
You do realize that in developed nations the population growth is negative? Are you going to be the one to tell an African nation that they need to reduce birth rate? Are you going to be the one to appear racist to save the world?
I have a 20" CRT still, and at 31, I can still hear it if I forget it on. But yeah, not everyone can hear that noise, and as I have started having problems hearing the kids, I have to wonder why I can hear that noise.
I still have a 20" IBM(?not sure) CRT, work ok too. It uses a 5 BNC input though, which is hard to find. I also have a old amber screen terminal in the server room, it comes in handy to hook to the Cisco gear.
It is a very good series, and contains many books to keep you busy for a decent amount of time. I read them back in middle school, but I still reread them as an adult.

Wouldn't the headline in this case read "Student swears at home, principal has him expelled"?
polluting vehicles off the road (and into landfills)
Just so you know, this is bunk. Cars are almost entirely recyclable, and are one of the most recycled items on the planet.
Here is an article where Ford says their cars are 85% recyclable:

Yeah, but the problem with super viruses is that Madagascar always survives...

Except that Google isn't distributing the materials. They are linking to other sites that are distributing the material.

That depends on state, but in some at least it is a mandatory registration.

Um, Tokamak? As in 1950s modern?

Your comment confuses me greatly. NMR was the original name of MRI, they dropped the N because no one likes the word nuclear...
Is the Hobbit a trademark in the food industry?
I would have expected it in the book and movie industry, not exactly related unless the Tolkien estate is getting into the restaurant business.
Which apparently it does if you switch to walking mode...
Walking directions are in beta.
Use caution – One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Unfortunately, too little bandwidth...
Also, having degausse wars with the guy sitting next to you in lab...oh what fun those things were.

JPGs? I seem to remember all images being GIF back then... Oh and if it wasn't repeated 10 times in the same page, it wasn't gaudy enough.

I would say you are a bigot.
If that is the case, than his father was Mormon, but that doesn't fit as his father was from Poland. I do believe the mother is Mormon.

Wikipedia has more books than I was aware of being in the series.
