At a recent speaking engagement, Temple Grandin (who knows a thing or two about autism) said that Steve Jobs was definitely "an Aspy" and that there are many more in Silicon Valley but she won't use their names because they're still alive.

I don't believe in evolution. I accept it (provisionally) as the best explanation available.

Just use the same password. No one wants to have to run a cracker to gain access to your system anyway.

The models that are so continually wrong are those with an ideological bias. The models which have been consistently correct are ignored because they're out of favor.

T-H-I-M-E-R-O-S-A-L is the way it is spelled on the vaccination form where it asks "Are you allergic to Thimerosal (used as a preservative in vaccines)?"

Every woman actor I know has been advised to reduce her stated age by at least 3 years. The presumption is that everyone will assume the age is a lie so if you tell the truth you put yourself at a disadvantage.

It won't be a complete competitor with iToons unless it requires you to install the Google Music Player, the Google Video Player, and grabs all the file associations in your system.

And a spacecraft is nothing but a mess of software applications held together with wire and tinfoil.

Wow. I'd never have thought that it needed Steve Jobs to work.

Back when the PC business was mostly Compaq, they made systems that needed all manner of proprietary components. If they have other products which rely on that supply chain they're so deep in the doo-doo that they won't climb out. But the CEO shouldn't worry because even getting fired from that job is more lucrative than many others are.

Just post those bank account numbers, the routing codes, and a credit card number or 2. They're not worth hiding.

Sounds like a place I worked where the owner fancied himself a developer because he wrote the initial program in GWBasic. His fair-haired right-hand man wrote (probably still writes) some of the sloppiest code I have ever seen and when the boss man wants a change made he goes to "Karl" who "tweaks" the code solving the immediate problem and all too often creating a morass of workarounds and kludges which end up stifling attempts to extend the code. Rumor has it that they are still using a 12 year old IDE that was new when Win 98 was the latest, greatest thing on the block.

At this point the goal is the same one as having pink towels and shoes at NFL games -- to raise awareness.

Let's go back and have the argument over "How much can we raise IQ scores" again. Arthur Jensen hasn't gotten nearly enough press coverage since he died. Or we could bow to the superiority of Lake Woebegone which -- as far as I know -- is the only place on the planet where all the children are above average.

Gee. Do you suppose that the credit and debit card processing banks are exaggerating the cost of a transaction? Nah.
