And at this point, money is more helpful than goods just because of logistics.

I think you have a high bar for what a "meaningful" level of ASD would be. My son is (as far as the spectrum goes) very high functioning, but it's impact is tremendously meaningful. And my experience is that this end of the spectrum is not a small group at all. It seems to be the broader end of the spectrum, at least as current diagnostic trends seem to me to indicate. As for the clinical relevance, certainly odds are small that this particular drug will be of use for a wide range of ASD sufferers, but I think progress on one aspect of the spectrum at least fills out the picture of this poorly understood class of disorders.

I don't think medical science can "define" autism as uncurable, though it might currently list it in that category. I disagree that the concept of curing it is nonsensical, but it would certainly be along the lines of "curing" amputation, i.e. it would take some serious neurological rewiring to accomplish what could reasonably be considered a cure. And that is certainly beyond the pale of current medicine, but at least for the milder cases like my son's, I have some hope that (should he need and desire it) such a treatment would be available within his lifetime.

And seeing as it _is_ a cause I believe in, I will chime in with said criticism. It's not unlike those tracts that look like money that people sometimes leave as "tips". Great way to get attention, but in the end it's generally the wrong kind of attention, rather anti-persuasive.

Can't use it in court because it hasn't been proven in court. Okay, not exactly circular, but the easy way out is to just prove it in one of these traffic cases, assuming such proof is possibly. Probably worth it to the city and/or state to go to the expense for one simple case so that it can apply to all the others. Woe to the person who has to sit through that trial though just to try to get out of their ticket.

My guess would be inductance would be one limiting factor but probably more limiting would be the abilities of the various grids to pump power in or out across the AC/DC and DC/AC converters.

I can clearly not choose the server in front of you.

Comments towards the end of TFA suggest the hackings may be sponsored by the IFPI/MPAA so as to make the Pirate Bay look bad. It would be amusingly absurd to see counter-hacking by TPB supporters keeping the "enemy" sites up.

Besides the fact that it could be misconstrued as "The, Dvorak, The".

Except that from an engineering standpoint only one is correct, but which one could be determined by real-world characteristics. One of those circumstances is the need to maintain code over time, and a series of if-statements is typically much harder to maintain than a loop. Another circumstance is the time constraints for building the program, which would again generally favor the loop. Someone else has already mentioned a case in which they think the loop could be the incorrect choice.

As an engineer, I have to modify or discard plenty of Theoretically Correct constructs to accommodate all manner of constraints. I love a good proof with airtight logic, but the real world does not afford us the opportunity to construct those when there are other, more pressing concerns.
