The term "spectrum" is a bit misleading and gives the impression of being one-dimensional, like an "autism score from 0-100". The very page you've linked to shows it's a bit more multi-dimensional than that. Essentially, there's a collection of different symptoms (say, ABCDE), and if you've got some of them, you have a Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD). If you've got ALL of them (ABCDE) you've got a really bad case of utterly low-functioning autism, but that's fantastically rare. If you've got ABC but no problem with D or E you might have Asperger's syndrome, if you've got ADE you might have "HFA", if you've got some other combination they'll just call it "PDD-NOS", which is a kinda catch-all for "other"... Never mind even more complicated things like "A and B and a bit of occasional D and E" which you might find in typical testing.
Back to the "autism score from 0-100", one sufferer's 50% might be precisely the opposite 50% to someone else's 50%, showing a totally different set of symptoms out of the "whole set", they'd be good at different things, bad at different things, and need to accommodated in fairly different ways
You're definitely not making it up.
Our physical hardware deployment time, from ordering? probably measured in months. A VM? Minutes.
Virtualisation these days robs you of less than 1% CPU and not much RAM, 50 VMs take a lot less hardware/space/power/cooling than 50 physical hosts, and in fact caching advantages mean they'll usually perform a lot better than 50 physical hosts too.
You surprise me. Have you actually MEASURED your typing speed, or do you just FEEL swype is faster? I found it quite trivial to equal the Swype "world record" on my BB Torch keyboard on my first try, and to quite easily beat it after 3 or 4 tries. Turns out the small-print on the swype record is "for a touchscreen" and it's not hard to beat on a real keyboard.
did you consider that not everyone wants a virtual keyboard?
+1 +1! With my Torch keyboard I can fairly trivially beat swype's "world record for typing on a touchscreen", and I won't even pretend to be a demon typist.

Particle and antiparticle created right next to the event horizon. Almost by definition, they have opposite velocity. Particle falls in, antiparticle escapes, OR vice-versa. Escaped antiparticle meets escaped particle, annihilate each other, give off energy in the form of radiation (Hawking radiation).
... so hawking radiation comes from just outside the EH, but requires the symmetry of the opposite particles falling in, so you could argue it comes from right ON the EH, but not inside it.
I used to love the way the kids can trip over the power cable without yanking the laptop on the floor and smashing the power connector...... and I quite like the trackpad thing, you quickly learn all the 2- and 3-finger swipes and zooms and things and miss them when you're on a lesser trackpad.... but I hate the way I've got through 3 power supplies and had a battery start expanding in alarming ways.
To put this in context... a voice call is equivalent to about 450 SMS messages PER MINUTE.
Tell me how much you pay per voice minute... then tell me how much you pay for 450 SMS messages.
Phidgets... correct me if I'm wrong... Are just USB I/O boards, they're not complete microcontrollers, are they? I mean you could use one (for example) to control a bunch of LEDs from a PC, but not to continue controlling the LEDs once you've removed the PC?

Can he hack mine so they don't start expanding in disturbing ways? I've had 2 do that now, in just over 2 years.
UAE, and Another World. Yes, I know they re-did it recently, but I still prefer the old Amiga Version.
Amusing, but I suspect that's not the right one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-14001576 references "The Gourmet Cafe", which is at "9, the shambles", http://coord.info/map?ll=53.928121,-1.386126&z=20 - nearly half a km away. I suspect the real GC has been completely removed, not just "needs maintenance" :-/

Correct answer: "I'm not sure I've seen the windows calculator. Can you show me it?"

In BGP terms, this is a little bit like putting your DNS servers in 10.x.x.x space. It's a bit of an odd thing to do.

How did they previodrive to the top gear test track and still have 20% battery left then, huh? HUH? ;-)
