If this whole whack video game simulation is correct, and the military is looking for average joes/nerds sitting at home in their pajams to script and program software for their advanced military systems. I really doubt they are going to ask someone like yourself, a man who has no military knowledge, a man with no schooling, no military training to script systems for them. I really do think you need to know SOMETHING about what they do in order to script anything of use to them.
I work in real estate. Lets say I hire a computer programmer to script me a program that is of some use to my everyday tasks in the real estate business. i think i would most likely hire a programmer who knows something about the business i work in. Someone who has done the same day to day tasks and can come up with ideas to help me make my day easier and more productive.
You know nothing about the military. How could you possibly come up with any idea that is of some use to them. Unless you have someone on your team who does have that knowledge and is the idea man. Thus making you a programmer.... but in that case your just as much of a tool and just as replacable as the laptop you use to program with. |
Too bad the contracts are on the table wopper, we have been just going back and forth the last two weeks getting things in line how we want them to be. Probably be putting pen to paper to sign our names in the next week and a half. We just need to register our LLC and we are ready to go.
Its not the military that is hiring us, it is another company that resells to global military forces.
Suck it Eric. You do not even have a clue what I am doing. I am not inventing anything new, I am replicating systems that already exist inside the simulation for training purposes. |

Pretty much. A normal brain is the most amazing filter you could possibly imagine. Most of us function well because we automatically ignore the vast majority of all sensory inputs.
In this case, her brain has a lot of trouble doing that, which is why she needs to do things to basically distract her brain. Amazing stuff.
Her conversational skills are fantastic.
Actually, Nou has a point. It is random, but it can also be an adaptation to the environment. I read a few years back that apparently peoples thumbs are getting longer because we're using them so much more, especially with phones. |
A science teacher told me in 7th grade that if a family tapped two fingers together all their lives and their kids did the same that after a lot generation they would eventually stop growing that finger and well, have 3 fingers and a thumb.
I wonder if women are growing less armpit hair because they are constantly shaving it? Therefore their bodies after generations are seeing no use for it anymore. I should goggle. |

I see your point but I also see that she has difficulty adapting in society.
She flails her arms and pounds the desk - she could never be able to go to a real school because of those challenges. Could you imagine her in a school cafeteria? That's the noisiest place in the world :haha:
What was interesting is how they revisited her 1 year later and she seemed more calm. I wonder if they loaded her up with drugs or what.
I have a question for you about your brother... did he have digestive system problems growing up? Alot of times kids who have autism are allergic to sooooooooooo many foods. I met a woman who is trying to create these snacks and even cakes because sometimes children with Autism can't even have a bday cake. She has a great idea. |
Well she actually is now going to be attending a real highschool:

I agree with Lews, I think she was completely frustrated with not being able to communicate that she acted out to get any sort of attention that she was in there and needed help.
Though, they reported that she was smearing her own fecal matter in the bathroom, so she definitely has some issues socially, or at least did.
As for my brother, no he has no issues with food. Though he is very picky about what he eats. He likes to be self-reliant too, he'll make his own dinners a lot (which usually consists of him microwaving some mini-pizzas, lol). But we (as in my parents, older brother & myself) do have him eat more home cooked or healthy meals so he doesn't become overweight or worse get Diabetes from poor eating habits.
Mostly the issues with my brother are just on the mental side, he has full control over his physical faculties. |

i'm no expert but i think he completely misunderstands evolution... if someone were born with 3 fingers it would be from a random mutation, and would only pass on if it's a) a dominant trait and b) anyone would have sex with them. |

| I wanna make a song called "Autism" now and make the video just mind-blowing numbers and figures. There's definitely going to be a lot of powers of 2, 4, and 8 because that goes on in my head all the way up to a million (I'm actually not joking). |
