The original Tron was fantastic... if you were an '80s computer geek. If your experience with computers starts in the '90s or later, it's hard to relate.

Tron Legacy went all metaphysical. Metaphysics is where science fiction goes to die, and die it did. Tron Ares is a fitting sequel to Tron Legacy, which is to say: hot garbage with nifty special effects.

Not sure what Intel contributes that they could change to closed source without harming themselves. Closed source doesn't make it into the Linux kernel and with very few exceptions doesn't make it into the Linux distros. I can think of few Intel product lines where that wouldn't be destructive to their market share.

Wow, you can click the link to my web page and make a veiled threat to dox me. I guess my estimate of your intelligence was... right on target.

The diagnoses were merged because the evidence had begun to suggest that they were different severities of the same ailment. If the evidence has begun to suggest that we're dealing with fundamentally different ailments then the diagnoses should be split accordingly. If not then you're shuffling names for the sake of politics and it's not a good day in science when that happens.

I've always wondered how well Slashdot's moderation system actually works. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to find out.

It is a mental defect to mistake popularity for trustworthiness.

We'll be fine, then. There's lots more gold than Sarah Conner clones.

Precisely.

There are 1500 genes involved. As effects are likely not merely down to specific genes, but gene interactions, you're going to need a model that can handle 2^1500 different permutations. That's simply not something that is classifiable.

As far as gene therapies are concerned, since autism seems to involve combining elements of Neanderthal neurology with homo sapiens neurology, the obvious fix would be to add further Neanderthal genes where combinations are known to produce adverse effects.

What did you expect from an algorithm named after the Roman Empire?

Your numbers support a conclusion. Just not the conclusion you wrote.

There are 1500 genes associated with autism and nobody has them all. This gives us 2^1500 different forms of the condition. So, yeah, more than one.

Autism is definitely a complex phenomenon. The number of people diagnosed today in the US is about the same as was being diagnosed in Europe 25 years ago, so no, I don't think anyone is jumping onto bandwagons, it's just Americans are being less stupid.

Two words: Fox News. They're trustworthy? Yeah right.

I used to trust the Washington Post but they've made so many exaggerations and just plain errors in the last 5 years, and their censorship in the comments section has gone nuts. Earlier this year I canceled my subscription.

You don't need an excuse. Doing a U-turn when you see a DUI checkpoint is almost always legal.

You'll catch the cops' attention but the courts have ruled that solely turning around is not sufficient to generate reasonable suspicion of a crime which would justify stopping you. They might follow you a little while to see if you do anything that would generate reasonable suspicion, but if the cop pulls you over immediately he's probably breaking the law.
