If a doctor diagnoses a brother with mental retardation, and a twin with Asperger’s Syndrome, why do they start diverging in their traits?
It’s a placebo effect – the twin (diagnosed) with Asperger’s will try extra hard to find his inner gifts and strengths, while the one diagnosed with retardation won’t bother doing much because he believes he’s retarded so he won’t think there’s much point in finding his gifts and inner strengths.

Sometimes the depressed may even make fabrications to keep a hatred going in a stone-hearted attempt to cope with their depression.

Answer to:
Why aren’t automakers using the $25 billion in loans that Congress has already allocated?
Congress has allocated $25 billion, but the Department of Energy is still writing the regulations that will allow automakers to get access to the loans, perhaps sometime next year.
Further, since the Energy Bill was passed, the credit crunch and sharply lower auto sales have made GM’s situation even more dire, and those loans, while appreciated, will be too little, too late.
Answer to:
What has GM done to stop burning through so much cash?
Over the past several months, GM has made several difficult decisions to reduce operating costs and bolster liquidity by $20 billion through 2009. It is reducing its 2009 capital spending from $7.2 billion to $4.8 billion.
To do this, it has reduced its salaried work force, eliminated health care coverage for retirees over 65, and is delaying some vehicle programs in North America and...
Answer to:
Why is bankruptcy not an option for GM?
For any automaker that filed for Chapter 11 reorganization, car sales would plummet even further. A study by the automotive market research firm CNW found that 80 percent of people intending to buy a new car would switch brands if the car came from a manufacturer that went bankrupt.
Answer to:
Is General Motors the only automaker affected by the crisis?
No, all automakers have been affected by the dramatic drop in car sales and by the credit crunch. Total U.S. auto sales in October were 838,000 vehicles, down 32 percent from a year earlier. That represents an annualized sales rate of 10.5 million vehicles, the worst since 1983. Toyota’s U.S. sales in October were down 23 percent, and Honda’s were down 25 percent.
Answer to:
How many Americans really care about the auto industry?
A recent poll by Peter D. Hart Associates found that a majority of Americans – 55 percent - believe that the U.S. government should aid U.S. automakers, versus 30 percent who oppose such assistance.
Answer to:
What data do you have to support the claim that 3 million U.S. jobs will be lost if domestic automakers go out of business?
The independent Center for Automotive Research, led by David Cole, released a study in November 2008 that looked at the likely economic effects if one or more Detroit automakers went out of business.

Answer to:
Why should Americans support federal loans to GM?
The American auto industry is the backbone of American manufacturing. Almost 4% of the Gross Domestic Product is auto-related. Three million U.S. jobs are dependent on the health of U.S. automakers, and they are not all in the Midwest.

Answer to:
Does the ADA require employers to give preference to hiring people with disabilities?
No. While the ADA and state and local laws protect people from employment discrimination on the basis of disability, they do not require an employer to hire or promote the person with a disability over other people.
These laws prohibit an employer from refusing to hire or promote or from taking other adverse action against a person because of the person’s disability, if he or she can...
Answer to:
Does an employer who asks an illegal job interview question violate the ADA even if they extend a job offer?
The employer may have violated the ADA even if you are offered the job or even if you decide that you do not want the job and withdraw your application before a hiring decision is made. In either of these situations, you may want to ask the EEOC, NYLPI or state or local human rights agencies to investigate and ask the employer to change the application or interview process so that the question...
Answer to:
Then, how can I prove that I wasn’t hired because of my disability?
(a) You must show that you are a person with a disability; you were qualified for the job; you were denied the job; and the job either remained open or was given to a person without a disability.
(b) The employer must offer a neutral or non-discriminatory reason for the decision not to hire you, such as the fact that you were not qualified for the job or were not as qualified as another...
Answer to:
If I apply for a job and I am not hired, how do I know if the employer has violated the law and discriminated against me because of my disability?
There is no way to know for certain. This is especially true when an employer doesn’t directly state that you weren’t hired because of your disability or provides no reason at all for not hiring you.
Answer to:
What should I do if I refuse to answer illegal interview questions and then don’t get the position?
The employer has violated the law. You may want to consider filing an administrative complaint with the EEOC or a state or local human rights agency.

Answer to:
What should I do if an interviewer asks me unlawful questions about my disability?
There is no easy answer. If you are asked a question at a job interview that is not allowed under the ADA and you answer the question, you may be revealing information that the law allows you to keep private, at least at that stage of the job application process.
There are two basic issues for you to consider: (a) do you want to get the employer to change the illegal job application or...

Answer to:
Can the interviewer ask about gaps in my employment history if those gaps were related to my disability?
Under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), potential employers cannot ask certain questions at a job interview that would result in the applicant revealing information about the existence or nature of a disability.
Questions about gaps in employment history are likely to lead to information about an applicant’s disability and are therefore arguably illegal. However, until the...

Answer to:
Do I have to tell the truth about my disability?
It is recommended that you never lie on a job application or job interview. The employer could have a legitimate justification to fire you later on if it’s revealed that you lied. Some courts have ruled that lying on a job application or in an interview is a legitimate ground for firing an employee, even if there is evidence that the firing was also motivated by unlawful discrimination.

Answer to:
Which city do you think should get the 2016 Olympics? Chicago, Rio, Madrid, or Tokyo? Why?
I would hope for Chicago to have it.
Tokyo already had the Olympics, and if it were up to me, I would set a hosting limit so that cities do not host the Olympics more than once per century, therefore other cities will have a chance. (For example: if Baghdad hosts the Olympics in 2032, it will not be eligible to host again until 2132.)

Hey, I don't care about the raciness of this answer because it's 3:35 in the morning.
But if she has a boyfriend and is thoroughly endeared enough to him, then she can get him to help her instead. Sometimes they'll let boyfriends do what they'll not allow their mothers to do.

Maybe limit your contact to phone and email, but keep finding a reason not to come visit them. I would keep your pregnancy a secret from your family if I were you.

50 million babies have been aborted since 1973. One of them was supposed to make flying cars intuitive, practical, and cheap for the mass market.
Abortion delays innovation because innovators are never given a chance to live.
Answer to:
Is abortion the reason we don't have flying cars?
I have reason to believe so. The scientist who was supposed to make flying cars practical, intuitive, and cheap for us all was aborted back in the '70s. Had it not been for the Roe vs. Wade trial, we would see more innovation all over the place today.

I can't seem to reduce the verbosity of my words. I use too many words to get my point across right now and the shorter versions of what I said only come to mind AFTER I say them.
Instead of "...when you stay up & are still awake by morning?" I should have said, "when you stay up all night?" or "when you've had a sleepless night?"
Now, some of...

I am looking for "ricebots" that play on FreeRice.com for you, far faster than a human alone & each feed 10,000+ starving people a day. Where can I download these FreeRice scripts?

The above link has a download link to a ZIP bundle of two files - the script, and a word database file of words FreeRice is known to use on its quizzes.
The word database dump is an SQL, and the script is a PHP.

Answer to:
What song(s) would feel right at home in the stereotypical trailer park? What song(s) would the stereotypical trailer park trash prefer listening to?
One song comes to mind immediately:
http://local.aaca.org/junior/cartunes/mp3/68-Truck_Drivers_Sweetheart.mp3
"Truck Driver's Sweetheart" recorded in 1968.
That song sounds rather "trailer-park-trashy" and the singer sounds very much like she comes from one (if she's not on the road with the truckers, I suppose.)

What is the most famous Canadian television show?
The first thought that came to mind was "You Can't Do That On Television!" but I don't think that is the most famous. (Maybe to the demographic that was under 13 by 1995.)
Answer to:
Have you ever been arrested? If so what did you do?
No, but I was picked up and driven back home from the countryside for running away once. Maybe if I had kept myself a 1/2-mile away from the road, the cop would never have seen me. I was trying to go to a friend's house, ~11 miles away, in the days before I got a full driver's license.

Two people stand before you. You're given the choice to save the life of one by destroying the other. If you do nothing they will both die. What would you do?
I would freeze that program on the Holodeck, rewind some minutes, and avoid that situation in the first place when I replay.
If that's impractical, I might reprogram the simulation a little bit so things happen differently. For example, I might program a twist- for someone or something to save all three of us in the last 10 seconds.

If you could relive your childhood over again... would you?
I'm hoping an advanced holo-room (much like the Holodecks of Star Trek) arrives in the 2020s, a little before the Singularity, in fact, that'll give light some touchable substance.
In it, I'll have it project a "suit" of a child over my own body, and resize the program-world proportionately to the child's height, so he is eye-level with a doorknob.

And if anyone is close to advancing beyond level 139, the following change ought to be made:

Therefore, if it plays when you're in a meeting, you're far more...

I long to go back to Elementary School, but I'll have to wait until a shape-shifting technology comes along. (A revolutionary age-reversal regimen would help with the shape-shifter. It would probably involve a cutting-edge machine the size of a telephone booth.)
