| I have a very simple problem in my book. I can't seem to get what I'm missing in their wording of the problem. here it is: "A college bookstore purchased math textbooks for $54 each. At what price should the bookstore sell the books if the bookstore wants to make a profit of 60% of the selling ... |

| The problem is in maths, there is no smallest unit, a point is purely relative to another. in these problems each subsequent step is merely relative to the step before it. that's why you can never reach the "end" because as long as there is a distance you just [numerically] traveled there ... |

| So I recently discovered I am on the spectrum. A million things suddenly made sense to me. My whole life I had been brainwashed by mom, I think, to believe that just "being" something is good enough. No matter how hard the times were in our family, my mom made sure to let every single pers... |

| I'm quite proud that I get sarcasm over 50% of the time, and even use it correctly. I still lag from 10 minutes to days when understanding jokes I just heard, which isn't functioning enough to me to try joking myself. Facial recognition is questionable. But I'm getting reasonably good at recognizin... |

| This is wonderful Greentea. Here is my very basic question: Why do many NT people not say what they think and say what they do not think? Please NT people willing to answer - give more of an answer than "politeness." :) Why are things so unclear? I spend much time after interactions with ... |

And about the other clowns in here simply posting as counter evidence, I mean did they not see your total post count? obviously you've been able to post co... |

| I am a sexist. At least I think I am, or think along the lines of one. I don't know what it is with me but I find myself constantly getting incredibly irritated with women in general, on a regular basis. I have this unshakeable feeling that women have lives that are basically catered to (as long as ... |

It's tempting to try and go beyond the usual stuff because you want to set yourself apart and demonstrate a higher level of skill. ... |

| The qualities of a good software system are: Simple, Flexible, Robust and Reliable. Showing off with obscure methods does not improve your code. Keep it simple. Java and C/C++ are great for building systems. Thanks for the advice. I always start out with a solid concept and end up overcomplicating ... |

| Thanks. That's kind of the way I see it, however with my Aspie brain I find myself constantly thinking of cool ways of doing things and my program ends up looking more hacked and unreadable, though possibly quite well optimized. It's difficult because I get so absorbed in my own programs that I lear... |

| I am sorry things have never gone for you the way should have. The nature of autism especially is that you typically don't have a strong support system to help cope with the deficits. So you build your own, which cause to to pull even further away, which can end up being a perpetual occurrence and y... |
