at my knowledge autism is when people close on themselves

That is one of the symptoms, but the causes are not what people make of
them. If you've seen the movie "Mercury Rising", then there's also a scene
in there which I find very important. It goes as follows, for those who
haven't seen the movie...

An FBI agent (played by Bruce Willis) finds an autistic boy at a crime
scene. The boy's parents were murdered, and the boy himself was actually
the main target - because he was able to crack a brandnew NSA code hidden
in a children's puzzle book, and the NSA can't have that their code is
known to mankind as being imperfect.

However, at this particular stage in the movie, the FBI agent doesn't know
all this. He doesn't even know that the boy is autistic. All he knows is
that a family has been murdered and a non-responsive boy - non-responsive
except for his wild kicking and screaming when touched - is hiding in the
closet.

He then takes the boy to a hospital, and as the nurse comes back from
helping the boy to bed, he asks her "What's wrong with him?". So the nurse
tells him "He's autistic"
what's funny here is that you quote some speech that you report
yourself:

you should have said: he asks her "What's wrong to me", she replies
"You are autistic"

, to which the FBI agent again asks "You mean
nothing gets through to him?", and that's when the nurse replies "On the
contrary, *everything* gets through to him."

And that's how it is for me. Everything gets through to me with much
greater intensity than to other people. So much even that it becomes
overwhelming and frightening. And that's why autistic people close off
from the outside world, or appear closed off. We're just trying to filter
out things, and recognize things. We're focusing.
In your meaning what I see is that an autistic person is someone very
concerned about the surrounding world and very emotional.


I experienced it myself and got some such remarks from others;

You would be surprised what you can experience if only you believe in
it. ;-)

yes that could be true, but in this case at my knoledge a person I know
who complained of having his hear heating didn't know anything about
that. At that time mass cellphone use was just starting and warnings
about possible side effects was completly absent from media.
so he experienced something he hadn't any knowlegde.

Well, older cellphones were much more powerful than the newer ones,
ho no, the emission power has always been regulated by the standards.
the GSM band I is 2W max
band II and III 1W max

and they
were also much bulkier, with external antennae and poorer shielding.
I agree that designers were caring less than today about antennas
position

The cellphones developed in the last 5-6 years are not like that anymore,
though.
the person i talkd about has a cellphone manufactured by NEC which
feartured I-mode so it is not that old, it got released in 2002 i
think.


you say MS is heard to be far from worse other corporates by their
employees, so a company like MS which seems to be not that bad and that
makes good money will have even more chances to be loved. And if you
take a look at british and US people through magazines like TIME or
other you'll notice that they show him like a good man.
more over Billy gives more than half of his money to charity.

Certainly not more than half of his money - not by a long shot, even. He
gave a substantial amount of money to a charity organization which bears
his own name. This amount of money can also be subtracted from his income
for when his IRS forms are due.

And then still, if I were a billionaire, it would be very easy for me to
donate a few hundreds of millions dollars as well. I wouldn't even feel
the weight loss in the piggy bank.
I think he and his wife are just the kind of people who think they will
save theworld from any sort of destitution, while I always feel that
the western world is the author.
there are some governments in the world which actually pointed him as
just a fancy clown who give fake statistics and want to show the world
his good behaviour.


The big difference is that people like you and me help out others without
that we are billionaires, and that we sometimes hurt ourselves in order to
help out somebody else.
yes

I think disorder is created when a person wants to get involved in what
that doesn't concern him/her.

there is someone on these news groups that put besides his signature a
quote from Frank zappa which says "why wouldn't we take off safety
labels of everything and let the problem solves itself"





I'm not sure on the amount, but it would be somewhat around half a billion
dollars that they owe the EU.

my god!

They probably already think they own the entire world just because they
own the US...

yes; what is real is that 90% of computers run their OS.

Not so. ;-) You are making the common mistake of thinking of all existing
computers as being "personal computers". The personal computer market is
only one section of the world's entire IT park. Think embedded systems,
think professional workstations, think minicomputers and mainframes, think
supercomputers and clusters... ;-)

there are billions of computers over the world so 10% can represent
itself billion(s) and off course there could be as many different
systems.
what I'm pointing in your saying is that you do not give any figure.

anyway, just to support what I said a couple of days before that the
linux community on these groups was quite aweful just look at a post
made of my own titled "Linux Vs Windows" in alt.os.linux.
it has raised such an hystery among posters.
some come up with paranoia and think that I'm a troll originally
nicknamed 'Auntie Linux'
some just come up with insanities
and some brainless people come up trying to be nice;
this is at my taste quite spectacular.
