So clearly you have first hand experience that one is not the other. What would you think if someone spent millions of dollars doing research on one disorder when it was really another? That's wasted effort that could have been focused on understanding what your children suffer from. If you think that a neurologists…

I'm feeling very old right now. I remember when it came by when I was little and thinking that I'd never see it again. Now thinking it's just 40 years away, it means I'll probably see it. I wasn't wearing a diaper the first time I saw it and I just hope I'm not wearing a diaper the next time I see it.

I'm sure when looking back, those of use over about 30 years old can all remember many kids that had adaptive social and learning problems. Some got help. Most probably got none. But they weren't all lumped in to a single group in an oddly passionate way. Life is uncertain and we have come to expect certainty and…

I'm guessing you mean to be funny, but it's a key aspect of the wave fear around the word 'autism'. It's overused. It's a spectrum and as vigilance of an poorly defined or poorly appreciated disorder grows it gives the appearance of an epidemic. Doctors need to stop using the label. Old habits die hard.

Once a process or specific vaccine is not protected under patent, which most are not, a lot of people can make them. Competition drives price down. The cost of production isn't the main source of overhead. Quality control and regulatory compliance remain constant so margins shrink to the point that capital resources…

There have been no studies showing Haley's Comet is unrelated to Autism.

I'm not saying that those cars weren't special, but that those principles have propagated without question and have lead to the hollow, huge, disposable machines that your average mechanically inclined person can't even think to repair.

I don't think the acts of this man should be celebrated. Clay modeling, auto shows, planned obsolescence and embellishments that put the use by the driver and passenger behind the artistic goals of a 'designer' are why cars get worse and worse every year. If you like giant death machines that haven't gotten more fuel…

That is a MUCH better childhood memory than African famine relief schemes.

Thanks. I love ubiquity as much as I love my gadgets. And both come before speed. Snappy is nice from an input response perspective, but I don't mind giving up some retrieval time.

"We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving"

This is the way it should be for all tablets! I like to use LinuxLive USB Creator to test out different versions on PCs. Do the microSD Android OSes have settings and files persistence on the card? Or is it like opening up a fresh slate every time you reboot?

Or have to remember 3 times a day for 10 days. And if you don't remember (like most people) you contribute to the creation of drug resistant strains that will be the death of us all. Our conveniences will be our undoing.

There is a flavorless route of administration. It's delivered through a needle.

I think it could be the way data is distributed instead of the direct stream, but TV still has some staying power. Most people don't use over the air signal, but that method is still pretty awesome in terms of reach and cost. It's like gasoline versus electric cars; the infrastructure in place and stored energy of…

Is the LTE slogan, "4G: You'll burn through those 2 Gigabytes even faster!"?

This is like a blackjack player walking confidently into a casino and claiming, 'It's not gambling because I have A System'.

Google Heat did it right and they didn't go updating the versions of thermal energy that are available through it's platform every 2 or 3 months. I remember back in the old days when Microsoft's Solid State Flame Division (the originators of Hotmail) would update the temperature scales every 6 months. It was a…

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable.

On that subject, I'm as flexible as my preferred bacon. But when it gets too thick and is peppered, I feel like I'm eating beef jerky. Not bad, but a different food.
