I have to think that the people who say that are mostly saying it because, to date, there hasn't been a way for their child to be any different than they are. It certainly can't help the development of the autistic child for the parent to be running around lamenting the fate that has produced such a child. These statements indicate acceptance of the child as they are, not, as it appears on the surface, that they wouldn't really accept a cure if it were available. I think you would be VERY hard pressed to find a parent who wouldn't go for a cure if it were available. Not saying there are none, just an incredibly small number. And in those cases, a baseball bat might be in order. I just think you need to cut the parents who make those statements some slack. They are dealing with a very difficult situation.
There are 5 elements and 9 planets..... The five elements
Out of the nine planets, our planet has life because of the presence of these five elements. The world comprises of five basic elements, also known as the Paanchbhootas. They are Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. Earth and Water have limited and localised availability for the human habitat and growth.
I wonder if one of the five elements will be downgraded now that Pluto is no longer a planet. It seems to me that that last one, Space, is kinda tacked on there. A lot of other cultures only recognize the first four. I mean, the other four kind of define Space doncha think? A little revision in the Paanchbhootas may be in order here.
Where do we get the social stigma associated with "meeting someone online"?
As a species we are oriented toward the visual and faces for recognition, status and bonding. There was an interesting four part series with John Cleese and Elizabeth Hurley The Human Face from 2001 that covered some REALLY interesting face factors.
That, of course, is missing in the online world. Sure you can see a picture, but it's not the same. There is a subliminal information loss that lowers your ability to really "know" someone when you are in the online world rather than face to face.
Face Time, as it turns out, really IS important
Zow.....
Sorry for whomever tried to force you to do whatever. Unless you were just bitter to start with, that ain't the way the God I know works. But this is neither the time nor the place.
As the "father of the internet" he ought to know when it was born....although to be completely accurate we'd have to find out who the mother was. It would be interesting to see if there is a paternity suit that could be brought against Al Gore....I'd be willing to bet he hasn't made any child support payments to the mother of the internet in the last 15 years.
Unfortunately some of us have to run on Windows (yeah, I know about WINE, etc. etc., trust me on this). I am looking for something like Kontact that runs on Windows without actually using Outlook. Chandler is a start, but only that at this point. Any other ideas?
I'm just curious as the the grammatical rule that makes it "an programming language". I thought you use "an" when the following word begins with a vowel or a silent "h" as in "an hour". Could you point me to the rule that makes "an programming language" preferable to "a programming language".
20K is the number of users.
64K is your number.
If each user skips 3.3 commercials we'll have a stack overflow and can hack the system and ROOOOL THE WURRRRLLLLDDD!
And your point is? It's obvious that the obvious things aren't getting caught, but if you are writing obviously bad code, there isn't a bounds checker in the world that will help you. One could write a bounds checker that would catch everything, but usually we have better things to do, and that bounds checking piece of code would be monstrously large.
If your point is that we can't even write a bounds checker, how can they work on something harder, I would respond that the bounds checker is there to help a decent programmer, not to do everything for the programmer. If you had another point, I missed it entirely.
I found a set of Windows 1 diskettes. It didn't run then....
The other problem, of course, is that with all the computers I have running in my home, there isn't one that has a 5 1/4 floppy drive even if I DID want to try to run it.
It is funny to see a Windows installation set that says "Disk 1 of 5"....and these were 360K each.
While I don't care much about the cool looking stuff you can do with Flash, I am mightily intrigued by the web development possibilities of FJAX. http://www.fjax.net/ To be able to write one way and have it run almost anywhere (98% is claimed) is a developer's dream.
Interestingly, in checking the URL to be sure I had it right, I discovered that it didn't work in my new install of Opera 9. I must not have the Flash plug-in installed yet.
But can we ignore A.A. Milne's shit that's 75 years old for a minute as an arguing point, and talk about what's really at issue, which is brand new, current, and popular music and movies?
Winnie the Pooh would be very, very sad you feel this way...
I'm thinking of having the computer generate random keys for everything I do. That way even I won't know the key, so I will be safe from myself, all of my data will be locked down, safe, and inaccessible to anyone, even me. Let them try to get THAT data.....
Now THIS is when I wish I had mod points....Absolutely on the money. Wired ran an article a long while ago mentioning the billions of dollars being spent to make travelers "feel better" by searching them and everyone else, when the reality is the money would be much better spent getting agents who speak the language and can infiltrate the groups and get advance knowledge of plans....those are things that actually work, but aren't visible, so the American who wants to "feel safe" doesn't see it and doesn't travel.

I would mod this up, but there is no category for "Gracious"
And I used to write code that ran in 640K....and we had to do support on 1200 baud modems....and we LIKED it.

Don't let them know you're not a nerd. They will eat you....alive.........!

I want a LifeDrive that is also a phone. The screen is too small on the Treo (I'm an old fart) and I don't need that little keyboard.
Thanks for this....I have mod points and you already have all the ones you can get, so I'm just gonna thank you.

Cool. Open Source. Fix it. I'm sure they'll be grateful.

Yes, they did get it: the pizza with the cleaner pizza was part of a scene and were smiling at each other and cheese.

Actually that process was heavily documented in the Old and New Testament, so is firmly in the public domain.
