Auditory processing disorder is a hearing problem. Kids and adults with this condition can't process what they hear in the same way other people do because their ears and brain don't fully coordinate. An individual with this disorder may experience hearing certain things muffled while other things perfectly fine.
For example, a person with APD is in a restaurant, in the restaurant there's music playing, waiters walking and other people a few tables away talking. Beside the person with APD is their friend talking to them however, the individual with APD can hear that their friend is talking but it's muffled, the individual can hear the people talking, the music and the walking, almost as if those sounds were right next to them. It can be best described as watching tv with the volume turning up and down and off at random times and you can't control it.
Symtoms of APD:
You are easily distracted or unusually bothered by loud or sudden noises.
Noisy environments are upsetting to you.
Your behavior and performance improve in quieter settings.
You have difficulty following directions, whether simple or complicated.
You have reading, spelling, writing, or other speech-language difficulties.
Verbal (word) math problems are difficult.
You're disorganized and forgetful.
Conversations are hard for you to follow.

1. President Bush is a dumb Fuck. Protest, go to jail, get out, listen to cyndi lauper and smoke pot, get brainwashed by farhenheit 9/11 because they forgot they saw it already, and start all over with the whole process.
President bush is a dumb Fuck, he gave himself a black eye by choking on a pretzel. What a fucking dumbass.

Also known as being soft or picky. In times of extreme hunger or famine those with sensory processing disorder often disappear. This can be seen in cases such as the Irish Potato Famine or with poor children in Africa.

The "Kidney Stone Software Development Process" is a degenerate process where releasing software to the field is incredibly painful but eventually "passes" and reaches customers. Developers within the process find that once the code portion of the project is complete, there are so many gates held by so many other internal groups that the software must first pass through, including peer review, quality assurance, documentation, not to mention possible conflicting schedules of other teams, product owners and managers, that the customers may not see the finished product for a long time. The process is akin to passing the proverbial kidney stone - incredibly painful, but eventually, it passes through.
We use the Kidney Stone Software Development Process at work; I'm still shepherding the finished code through multiple painful gates - who knows when this will actually ship.

this is for the complete lamo that most likely doesn't have 2 brain cells to bounce together. If you think about a funeral procession, and how it takes a little bit of effort to keep it organized...now pare it down to one car, yes, just one car - the idiot him/herself.
That moron could fuck up a one car funeral procession.
