    Should I take a "social skills" class?

    Sorry if I misunderstood. I took the comment "I think a few social skills would really benefit you myself" to be aimed at me. Please, in the future, try to be more specific. BTW, no matter who it is aimed at, it is a subtle bit of ad hominem abusive and definitely qualifies as a bit snide.

    Should I take a "social skills" class?

    I appreciate your slightly snide comment, however I am turning 69, work remotely from my home in nice, warm Florida, and jam with several local first-rate musicians every weekend. I am very well adjusted to a highly satisfying life. I don't know how learning to imitate neuro-normals (like...

    Should I take a "social skills" class?

    Frankly, I'm satisfied not having to learn to cynically mimic others' social behavior. You will not learn to be more social - you are not hard-wired for that. You will only learn to "pass" by playing neuro-normal. Aspies in a conversation take in 95% of the information through the spoken...

    How many computers you own?

    I recognize that the Mac desktop is a very good choice for people who want to use a computer, but stay totally isolated from having to learn how one actually works. I recommend it to friends looking for precisely that. However, in this case, the poster was complaining about his/her iPad and I...

    How many computers you own?

    Suggestion: replace the iPad with the latest Google Nexus 10. Like every other Apple product, you can find a superior replacement at a lower cost in the Android world. The Nexus 10 has higher 2560x1600 Gorilla Glass screen (1080p and 1440p are both letterboxed!!! and 4320p shows...

    How many computers you own?

    Geez, counting working boxes and ones kept for parts or being rebuilt, I'm not sure. My desktop computers are all assembled from selected components, so the name on the case (if any) is meaningless. My primary PC has four quad-core processors, 64GB ram, and 12 TB disk storage. It is dual...

    How many hours do you spend on your computer each day?

    " Too many to count" plus "a few more added" is an interesting number. Kind of like "a whole lot of nines..." ;).

    How many hours do you spend on your computer each day?

    It In addition to the Kindle program (as least for smartphones and tablets), consider the Moon+ Pro Reader (Google Play Store for Android - don't know if available for Apple for those of you willing to pay twice as much for two-generation-old technology [grin]). On the PC, a program like...

    How many hours do you spend on your computer each day?

    This can be a misleading question. I spend at least 10 - 12 hours a day, most days, on the computer. But, then, I work remotely as a software development consultant (a fancy term for an independent programmer paid by the hour), so two-thirds of my time at the keyboard is due to the nature of...

    How do you teach a computer that correlation does not imply causation?

    But, remember, what you tell it and what you think you are telling it may be two entirely different things. Most computer anomalies or errors arise not because of a mistaken instruction, but because the programmer didn't really analyze and devise solutions for the essential core of the problem...

    How do you teach a computer that correlation does not imply causation?

    As a simple proof that computer "intelligence" is really only mechanistic, consider trying to program a computer to "understand" natural language. When I see a computer correctly parse the following two statements, I might consider that computers are moving forward in having (or at least...
