I know there was a period of time where on a Jeep Wrangler, if you turned the ignition key on-off-on-off-on in rapid succession, the OBD-II codes would read out on the odometer display.
Very handy.
It also meant people didn't need to either own a diagnostic scan tool or stop by someplace that did and have their codes read.
Jeep stopped including this feature once it became widely known.
A family member has been diagnosed with mild autism (Asperger's is a specific diagnosis within the broad spectrum of autism) and I can say that this member of my family completely misses any sarcastic comment that hasn't been specifically pointed out as being non-literal in an earlier conversation.
So yes, I'd say the research might very well apply to Asperger's in some way or another.
All the biometric identifiers, passwords, physical tokens, whatever, in the world won't protect your data at all if somebody can walk in, pick up the machines and walk out with them...... usually with a member of the company being ripped off holding the door open for you.
Kind of an unusual thing, but I quit a job working at a small computer consulting firm a while after the police showed up at work and arrested my boss for child pornography.
He was convicted, but was sentenced to probation with monitoring... he kept making remarks about it not being a "real crime" especially since he hadn't been locked up for it.
The job market being pretty good for programmer-types at the time, so I left. The fact that the business was hugely in debt certainly didn't encourage me to stick around, either.
I thought I read the GlobalFlyer did not use Jet A or even Jet-A1, but a mix closer to JP-4 (50-65% gasoline, the rest kerosene). More dangerous, but also more energy per gallon and less susceptible to freezing.
I've got some spam for a product that is supposed to help with floppy-diks...

My old Silicon Graphics (prior to the silly name change to SGI - let's face it, is a way cooler name) workstations were available with various combinations quantities video memory and graphics engines (GEs).
I'd much prefer to have a single video board with multiple GEs rather than multiple video boards.
Has anybody who is proposing these various measures ever USED a GPS?
I wonder because unless you have a large antenna, even the foliage from a tree will block reception, let alone being inside any type of building.
"Where were you?! We have a four hour block of time with no signal recorded here."
"I was picking flowers in the woods."
"You aren't allowed to be in the woods, or anyplace else where your GPS doesn't work!"
"So if I stood on the street corner with the prostitutes, that would be OK?"
"No, you can't associate with known criminals."
"Apparently I can't pick flowers either."
"You can pick flowers, just do that in the park."
"You aren't supposed to pick the flowers in the park, there aren't enough for everybody. Besides, there are drug pushers in the park, known criminals, who I can't associate with."
"Get your flowers at the florists!"
"The florists in my area are in strip malls, the buildings block the reception of my GPS, which means we'd have more conversations like this where you tell me I shouldn't be places like the florists."
"Okay, forget the flowers, just go home, or to work, or wherever it is you go."
"I can't go to work, I'm trained to do factory work, but with all the interferance from the electric motors on the equipment, the GPS doesn't work... and I live in an apartment building, I can't go home because the floors above mine block satellite reception."
"So where do you live."
"Apparently on a bench in the park, associating with drug pushers. I don't have to pay for the bench and if you have your way, the drug pushers likely be sympathetic when they all have their own GPS units to corral them in the park as well."
Am I the only one that thinks the form factor should look more like a component cd player, or receiver. This doesnt mesh with my current stack o hardware in my living room.
While you are at it, could you pass this along to Sony as my PS/2 seems to indicate they don't understand this point either.
I have a 4-digit UID... and still use "pine" (and for that matter "mail") for e-mail. These new-fangled GUI e-mailers don't work so well when telnetted over a SSL link to the dial-up computer us old-timers keep in a closet at home...

Murphy's law was a quote (people can argue about who said it first) directly related to accelerometers/strain guages and whether or not they could be connected backwards...
No unusual wear of the brakes was found... which tends to agree with Renault's interpretation that the car isn't at fault.
Those brake pads should be either glazed or noticably worn, with scorch marks evident on everything close to the discs/drums due to the heat that would have builtup had the driver really been applying the brakes until they failed at speeds of 120km/hr (as the driver had claimed).
The more projects my company outsources, the more they find they NEED the techies in house... We have the same number of techies, but mostly we oversee outsourced projects... and the company isn't going to let go of the only people who understand the technical processes and who can communicate with the contract workers what is needed.
... until people are willing to defend a claim of ownerwhip with force, claims are meaningless.
Territorial disputes always come down to who has the authority to back up their claim with a 19-yr-old carrying a rifle.

Uh huh. Better have some kind of an emergency override for that system. More than once I've taken critically injured/ill people to the hospital at speeds well in excess of the limit, I sure as heck wouldn't want that ability taken away (no priority ambulance service in most parts of rural america, no way to fund it either).
In EVE Online, there are billboards that run ads for fictitious stuff that is part of the game world:
Quafe - beverage and powerful company akin to PepsiCo in the US, only more so
Pax Amarria - a book that it is politically correct to like (written by an Amarr Emperor).
There are other ads, sometimes done in holographic lights on board some stations.
These ads are done right, they are unobtrusive, they don't materially affect gameplay, and add to the realism. The only thing which detracts from the realism, in my opinion, is there aren't enough different ones, which points out that the game universe is much smaller than the real one.

According to my daughter, there are still typing classes, but they call them "keyboarding" now ("typing" is passe).

Are you by any chance damaged in the pre-frontal lobe?
