Well... thats fine for all of you higher functioning types on the spectrum (and the Slashdot Self-Diagnosed Aspergers Posse) but many autistics are *severely* disabled, with no speech, and no chance of an independant life. You can choose not to be treated or 'cured', and that's fine, as your condition is managable. But this could mean that some severely disabled people get the chance to express themselves and *have* an identity.
This experiment won't 'cure' autism directly, but it will provide data that might provide treatment for others.
I'm sure it'll be hacked when prices are slashed (and you know they will be). Then this thing will get some users and some killer apps, Xbox-mod style.
To be fair, whoever was responsible for this travesty probably only had half-assed backing from Microsoft, resulting in crappy deals with the music studios. Apple had Steve Jobs and the advantage of catching the labels mostly unaware. The Zune had bureacracy and upper management more interested in nuking Linux.
Well, my guess is its starts looking increasingly unlikely if they can't line up another location *quickly*, because then filmmakers start running into problems with the actor's schedules (contracts would have to be negotiated, they may have other projects lined up) to say nothing of the crew.
I am so annoyed with 'mom'. The girl is stupid, and she probably lied to her parents about where she was going, because teens do do that. In fact lets *hope* she lied, because if her mom okayed this without meeting the boy, she's negligent.
But I'm really annoyed with her parents. They failed in their duty of care here after the fact. The girl has had a nasty experience, and she will probably need counselling, but she is still healthy and alive. The perp is in jail. The parent's role now is to be there for her... and reinforce for her that *this is why* you don't go off with strange guys from MySpace. This is *why* when she's so young, she needs to clear her boyfriends with her folks. She might not have been alive to sue anybody.... she was very lucky.
But no. Ohnoes! MySpace! It was the bad innerweb people!
Helps to have management who will back you too. If your boss falls over him (or her) self to kiss ass, that approach will land you in hot water. Though realisticly you probably didn't want to work there anyway if your boss-unit is clueless about your real priorities...
Reality of the situation, the original trilogy was a fluke. Right time, right technology, and if you watch the documentary on the final DVD of the OT box set, there must have been a hundred times that a divergence from GL's original vision, or serendipity, made the movies better. I'm talking about stuff like the Khiber crystal, using Anthony Daniels actual voice and not an american dub, stuff like that. I'm not saying that the final movie won't be good, I'm saying the odds are against it:(
Honestly I don't even do MMORPGs but the fact that this is a quality simultaneous release has piqued my interest. Now if you'll excuse me I'll get back to playing Halo. It just came out!
The homemaker and baby-machine options are not just a way to drop out, they're a socially-acceptable alternative realm that women can excel in. I don't think there's any sort of equivalent for men (not until the man-as-primary-caregiver meme gets better established). Nothing *wrong* with that, but this woman has provided an excellent example that there are amazing things girls can do in geeky fields and that if you want to do it badly enough, it *is* possible, even if school/college wasn't for you. Having a living breathing example to point to is so very important for girls.
Great except for that keen OSX bug a couple of battery updates back. It showed me a battery life of 10 hours for my iBook G4 one day. No, it wasn't true. Screenshot would have been funny though.

Early intervention might have saved her though, her brain would have turned to mush over time. 15 years later the horse had really bolted.

Oh hell yes. There needs to be another game in that series... and Deus Ex for that matter. *Sigh*
Thankyou Shock, for all those '2am jumping out of my chair' moments.
Yeah, it's ambulance chasing.

How about both? The young doctor can be advised by the older doctor.
Its got a speaker, probably much like the iPod one, for click feedback.
Sweet! I could see Apple marketing this in shiny new badass Powerbooks, with ultra-shiny metal hardware on the case to match.
If you can't bring yourself to transfer it, just cancel the damn thing. Easy. If she wants it she can re-register it herself.
Bonus points if you're a woman with glasses and a goatee. Otherwise, no.

You can certainly construct some sort of software relevancy index from 'frequency of upgrades'.
" In could do this as an expansion pack for the SIMS,"
Appropriately enough....

Hopefully the hybrid PC/Mac CD helped things along and other developers take note.
Thanks. That mental image was *really* frightening.

All I can say is I'm glad someone wrote the story arc for him :)
Seems to be missing from the list :) But most of those wouldn't be out of warranty yet.
I will be doing a hdd upgrade at some point though.

In fact there are certain activities that REQUIRE two people at the same time... many Slashdotters will have forgotten what they are though.
