Thanks for the link, Robert. I didn't know about that store. I don't buy many games, so I never looked around, but now I'll check them out.:) Looks like I can get some anime on, too. Wonder if I can unload my Jyhad cards there?:)
Have they got a carrier or other method of holding it to a circuit board that will stand up to that heat? Speaking of, have they got circuit boards that stand up to that heat? And obviously solder can't be used. So how will they interconnect? Glass fiber may melt at higher temps, but I'll bet the optical properties distort well before then, considering it glows when it gets hot enough. Not to mention they have to make the emitters and receivers withstand that temp as well.
I looked in Google Earth, zoomed down to 1K feet or so, and couldn't be sure it wasn't an overgrown old site. That's why multiple people will be looking, I'm sure:)
as possible wreckage of another plane, from some time ago?
I think this is a great chance to go back and bring closure to those families of people missing in unrecovered crashes in the past, in the area. I hope they go ahead and let the survey complete, even if they find Fossett soon.
We need to more fully subsidize those degrees in fields where we're starting to lose our edge. Think how many millions of engineers China will churn out this year. More than the total graduating class for all of the US, in every category, I'd guess.
The dismay is a reflection of you and your lack of understanding, rather than anything to do with the autistic child.
What he was doing is called echolalia, and it is a very common behavioural trait of autistic people.
Some researchers believe that the autistic people who immediately parrots back what was said are playing for time while they decode the information that was spoken to them.
Reading the summary on Wikipedia, the idea that they are decoding the conversation is limited to immediate echolalia, which was not my complaint. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. He wasn't parroting back what was said to him immediately (except as part of instruction). But, for example, any time he wanted anyone to read him any story, he'd say something like, "daddy read me the story about the ducks please thank you," while asking, say, me, and holding his book on trains. And my concern is that this is because he'd been taught these rote phrases in the early intervention instruction process. In other words, forcing something like delayed echolalia. Over time we could get him to swap out specifics on one end or the other, like saying "trains" instead of "ducks," but these were always situation-specific. If he wanted someone to hand him the book on trains, not ducks, he had to learn to modify that script entirely separately.
If you still feel this is all just a misunderstanding on my part, and nothing to do with what is happening in training like this, please enlighten me. Otherwise, please tell me how research and methods of early treatment have improved in the last decade. Or even if you know that at some point in this training, some kids suddenly have an easier time modifying these scripts on their own and hopefully coming up with their own, you could tell me that. To rephrase my concern, however: extinguishing these early responses in favor of more flexible ones later presents its own barrier, and I am hoping techniques have been refined to minimize this further. What is your assessment of the current state of these techniques? Where are they headed? Who is doing promising research right now?
These robots, while serving as replacements for humans involved in the rote memory part of intervention, are unlikely to be able to respond to a spark of understanding that we would recognize as being positive if these kids do go off script, but in a positive manner. I hope we're not moving further away from these chances at eureka moments, burying them under automated scripts.
Rather, the state of the art of said behavioral modification programs? Is "intervention" still being done today, and is the method any more sophisticated than it was a decade ago?
I went through training to work with a toddler with autism a decade or so ago. Watching and interacting with the boy, I was dismayed to find that he seemed to parrot back specific whole phrases, etc. I understand the need to have some sort of socialization framework, but I was worried that some of these behaviors would actually have to be unlearned later, if they were to be refined.
That would be foolish, far better to let us spend resources in recovery and medical aid.
They're spending the resources to build these robots to rescue people. I think that'll make the survivors being rescued easier targets. Also, I asked about our enemies capturing the robots and re-tooling them for their own uses.
Does this give the enemy something better to shoot at? Not the robot itself, but they can wait to see whatever it picks up, and shoot the heck out of that, or blow everything up with a grenade.
And what kinds of parts will the enemy have access to, once they disable a few of these? Maybe they will create some remote-controlled anti-personnel robots. They'll already be somewhat armored, don't you think?
They could even keep the teddy bear head, so people would think it was "ours" and let it go by.
As Bill would say in his initial letter to software developers, we must actively defend the intellectual property rights of the originators - and since Vista is French, I presume he'll back this 100 percent.
What's that have to do with a trademark dispute? Clearly, you are trolling.
That's not how it worked for me regarding my AmEx card. There was a small-value charge on my AmEx one month that was not mine, and I called in, and asked if I needed a new card number, too. I was assured that I didn't need a new one, I'd be credited, and they'd hit the vendor. Next month, I got the same charge, so I went back and looked, and AmEx had never removed the original charge, either. I called and said look, you lied to me, either remove these charges and issue me a new number now, or close my account and remove the charges. They had the old # turned off immediately and I had a new card in a week. This was a few years ago, before identity theft was so well known as a threat, but it still rankles that AmEx didn't treat this seriously the first time around. I was never asked to mail in anything or sign any affidavit, either, so I'm guessing they just ate the charges (under $20 each time) and went on.
I guess I need a phrase with a more narrow definition that that. I don't consider Morning Edition type stuff to be talk radio. Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, the stupid guys on the local radio stations in the mornings... that's talk radio, to me. Which is why I have no use for it. I can't imagine calling Rush Limbaugh a shock jock, though:)
Also, you could publish their phone/fax number on the Internet. I've seen forums that where this is done, and it becomes kind of a DOS attach against businesses who appear to ignore the DNC list in their telephone spaming.
How do you know the submitter is not a competitor or otherwise has malicious intent? Let the law handle it, don't do the same thing you're accusing them of doing. What's the difference between you? Intention means nothing when the actions are the same.
they could reject advertising, but accept free loans/gifts of merchandise for the tests. Behind the appearance of impropriety is the very real possibility that a manufacturer will send you a known best quality sample, while shipping crap to stores. Remember the stories about manufacturers sending overclocked cards, or other devices with custom/"beta" BIOS to product reviewers? Yeah. It happens.
If they are blocking BoingBoing over the Mooninite issue, then they are censoring political speech critical of the regime. If the project is funded with public monies, this will be an excellent case to push hard and loudly in court.
I don't see how anyone thought past December or January that it would be ready for June. Assuming there really are big new secret features, like Jobs promised, anyway, they would require extensive testing including all kinds of real world testing in developers' systems, new SDKs, etc. Guess what we've seen so far?

How do you get those satellites to slow down, later?

What do you think about

I'll bet Zune owners are celebrating with a circle-squirt.
at least according to their definition.
Online diaries are several years older.

I suggest videos from Professor Julius Sumner Miller.

You may be right, but I've got a ReplayTV, and I remember them going bankrupt defending the ability to automatically skip commercials.
HP just won a US$5.6Bn contract with NASA, too.

I'll skip the usual Netcraft.com joke, and just say that the Bangkok Post, which is the linked host, itself runs on Linux, according to Netcraft.
