  1. link != the type of relationship on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    Could it be just how a slim person spends his time verses how a fatter person might?

    Yes, spot on. A link is merely a link and speaketh not as to what the exact relationship is. Does blubber make you dumber? Probably not. Does lack thereof make you smarter? Probably not. However, do body builders and fatter people alike tend to spend more time on their bodies (one way or another) than people that spend a majority of their time developing their minds? Probably so.
  2. Tech: Social Handicap? on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 1

    I, too, am a student and developer/designer with a son amidst a divorce. Granted, our marriage was doomed from the start for various reasons, but I can admit that being tied to a computer for prolonged periods of time has its social handicaps. So, it's a natural consequence that the social endeavor of marriage take a hit. I often heard "Stop playing on the computer!" as working was often misinterpreted by her as playing (although, I will also admit that I enjoy my work). Our industry does not necessarily equate to divorce inevitability, but it's safe to say that it plays a part.
