| He probably has a relationship contract because of his wealth and the fact that he has a lot of time constraints as a CEO of Facebook. The hoodie thing is pretty interesting. He gets away with that because he is a successful billionaire and doesn't have qualms telling the news interviewers: that no ... |

| and today we find out that Flame used 2009 era stux code. nothing to see here... Actually there is! This is a military-grade cyberweapon. It is pretty typical for the public to find out about military technologies way after the fact. 2009 is only 3 years ago--not current but not obsolete either. Al... |

Seriously if this was designed to wreck the Iranian Nuke Program, and if it was working, I consider it to be preferable to using conventional bombs dropped from aircraft and resulting loss of life from those weapons.

| Hmmm ... Suspicious! For the freezer, the meter AND both alarms to fail at the same time... :? Unlikely Yeah, and the article that I read said that the temp gauge was reading cold--temperature gauges don't fail like that. While it is possible that the alarms were set up incorrectly to begin with, t... |

| It really is remarkable how some therapists are so clueless. They just assume that their clients lie to them and don't do enough listening. "Love" and "Hate" really are opposites since they are both strong feelings of affection: one positive and one negative. Of course everyone understands this exce... |

I do my best to keep my personal life out of the workplace. I greatly appreciate when others do the same. If you are always busy at work than people won't have the time to bother you.
So stay busy and redirect any personal conversations back to work issues. |

| I know you mean well but I find the implications of this sentiment to beslightly insulting. Sometimes depression is 100% biological. The people who always say that placebo is as effective as SSRI's will invariably (if they are honest) admit that severe biological depression actually does improve wi... |

| If nothing else, you should be evaluated by a pyschiatrist. Prescribing meds to teens is a lot riskier than adults, but if you are at the point to require impatient services than it might make sense to try some meds. You also might want to tell a psychiatrist why you find therapy "pointless". Maybe ... |

Is that the "server problem", basically lack of resources or are there secondary issues? I am hoping any day now someone would post a rambling... |

| Saying something is "difficult" or "easy" is pretty useless without a lengthy explanation as to why that is the case. If there is no context there then it really is meaningless. |

| I think people with Asperger's tend to differentiate themselves as a separate group because they are humans and humans do that kind of thing. All humans need a concept of "us", clearly defined in opposition to an external "them". I imagine that since people with Asperger's are in fact more or less ... |

It is interesting; if your special interest were a sports team of some kind, it probably wouldn't even be mentioned. People sure have preconceived notions over silly things sometimes. Anyway, wh... |
