Maybe it's having a fully engaged conversation about a topic you have no interest in, or changing your daily routine to accommodate an unexpected external interruption, or simply putting yourself in someone else's "shoes" for a moment.
That frustration... that's what it's like for many of the rest of us, when it comes to very high level intellectual pursuits, the same ones that come so easy to you.
It seems that, in your opinion, all south american countries are barbaric lands where no laws are to be taken seriously.
That's incredibly arrogant of yours. Because of things like that, the rest of the World put all US citizens (including the good ones) in the same basket and call them assholes.
So because some Americans are prejudicial, the entirety of the rest of the world is prejudicial against all of America? What's the Portuguese word for irony?
Well, I suppose it's a matter of how you value human life relative to some fixed quantity of time and money.
You know, automobiles also have firewalls, in the original sense of the word. The difference is that where computer firewalls can be penetrated by malicious software, automobile firewalls can be penetrated by steel and aluminum. One is a nuisance that may cost money and time, the other is a nuisance that may cost life.
Two of the fallacies in arguments like these, that make them markedly different from the iPhone jailbreaking arguments, are that the arguments assume every issue on the road is under the expert driver's control, and that he is the only one who stands to suffer more at the hands of a mistake (the driver's OR other motorists'/pedestrians').
Part of what factors into a speed limit is the cost of mistakes and not just yours. When you're driving a multiple of the speed limit, you're now raising the stakes considerably for anyone on the road when another driver unfortunate enough to have you in their blind spot obliviously changes lanes a quarter of mile in front of you or less (you said you wanted to 200mph, right? How's your reaction time?)

The light accelerates or slows down in the vicinity of the jackpot light. Also, the jackpot bulb resistance could be different. So yes to some extent it's luck but it is winnable.
I win these pretty frequently when I take my family to these places, but when I stop and reflect, even 25 cents (best case scenario) for 100 "tickets" or whatever the reset value of the jackpot is, turns out to be a pretty shitty deal when you see what you can redeem 100 tickets for (and more realistically, I spend at least 10 quarters/tokens for a win, so it's even worse -- but the kids love to see it).
Consider that the test would benefit mostly toddlers or pre-school age children, who either don't manifest obvious symptoms of autism until later, or whose parents don't have the means or indication to have them evaluated until later (in some cases, as late as middle school), by which time the optimal window for intervention has passed.
If the test is specific enough, getting a confirmed diagnosis could enable the parents or school system to intervene with therapy designed to help their child recognize social cues, interact/negotiate socially with others, and deal with change/transitions. Even in high-functioning autistics (including Asperger's sufferers), these skills can go severely wanting, and if not addressed you may wind up with a child who is academically sound but who sits in the corner of the playground because they either aren't motivated by social norms or haven't the first idea (at an executive level) of how to connect their desire for social interaction with effective social interaction.
On the other hand, if the sensitivity of this test is only to the lowest-functioning forms of autism, than I worry that a lot of other children who could benefit from intervention will go undetected/unaided because "their pee is OK".
Alternately, science is sometimes an excuse not to let go when a question of faith is put to you, and vice versa.

This wasn't answered explicitly but we can surmise or at least guess a few things:
- The outside world was not entirely aware of the DHARMA purge. - Mikhail et al. maintained the illusion of an operating DHARMA from the communication station. - Ben, using his considerable outside world resources, paid off the appropriate people to continue the drops. - The island did it for them (cop-out answer).
Isn't the show, and in particular the finale, a mirror for your own beliefs?
If you found the finale satisfying, you're a "man of faith".
If you found the finale abhorrent and have loads of unanswered questions, you're a "man of science".
In the final balance, the show made a statement that faith is more important than science, or at least that faith "leads" science.
Furthermore, given that the man in black's alignment was clearly scientific (he fashioned the island-moving wheel), and that Dharma and Widmore (the symbols of technology/industrialism) were at best interlopers on the island, I'd go so far as to say that the show makes a statement that science and industry are evil, or at least in eternal opposition to life and goodness.
None of your examples of devices are platforms; devices conceived with the intent of having things built on them.
Actually, I take that back. I would argue that a microwave is a platform for cooking services, and a more open one than Apple's iPhone.
Orville Reddenbacher built the microwave PDK (popcorn development kit) and built a series of apps that make movie time butter, I mean better.
I have a neat little "application" (plastic mold) that takes an egg and poaches it in about 45 seconds.
Lean Cuisine even has a dinner app.
Can you imagine if Apple made the iMicrowave? You'd have a maximum time limit of 30 seconds, power would max out at 8/10, and you'd be waiting until next year for a platter that rotated (except when it was cooking Apple foods).

consumption be done about it?
Yeah, but your cheating is going to look relatively obvious T9'ing or multi-tapping during the exam.
And if you're fast enough or clever enough to work around that giveaway, you probably could pass without resorting to programmable calculators.
Why was this modded offtopic? Wasn't "hmm" a GameSpeak phrase?
To those in the know, why will this succeed where UWB/wireless USB failed in the market?
Remote graphics seems like an even more esoteric need than the remote mass storage, printing, cameras that UWB would have offered?
Yo momma so fat that when I fucked her my cock redshifted.

What a coincidence -
My flat at university was also called the Bush Dome [so named for reasons that have nothing to do with shrubbery].

I don't know about that, but it goes without saying that this SSD won't support a raid.
Forget the P = NP question - does PNP = NPN?
