While you are correct about the administration of IQ tests, in speaking of pure numbers I don't think your IQ examples are entirely valid.
IQs are in themselves comparisons and not imperical values. While you may have a group with an average IQ of 150, that figure itself is a comparison to the general population, which is 100. You may indeed have 75% below the mean for a group, but that group remains a subset of what an IQ represents.
As such, it could be said that the people with money to buy CDs and CD players are a subset of the general population and thus may have an average IQ different than 100. However, when speaking of everyone the average IQ is 100 by definition, and should be readjusted when found to be different.
Ideally, you shouldn't have to code for Mozilla, but rather the W3C specs. This would in turn help promote W3C conforming browsers, be it mozilla or something else.
CDROMs use a large amount of raw data doing the same thing. A "700mb" CDROM actually holds around 805mb or so, but when used as a data cd that extra 100 goes to error checking.
Since open source licenses are in fact redistribution licenses, I thought this sort of thing was covered by the fact that if you don't agree to the license, nothing else gives you the permission to redistribute.
Well, considering the feat of testing was accomplished instead of the plane exploding and crashing on unaware kangaroos... one could say they had "successfully tested".

Ogg Vorbis 1.0

Vorbis bitrate is a secondary function of something called a Quality number(or -q value). What that does is determine exactly how strongly vorbis's VBR model compresses the audio. How high or low the bitrate actually is depends on how much is needed for a certain song at a certain Quality.
I'm not quite sure as to how effective the 1.0 Quality scale is, but in RC3 many felt that 5-6 was about CD transparent. Personally, I prefered 4.99 because it was as close to 5 as you can get without activating lossless stereo coupling(5 or above)... which gives a nice bitrate spike. This behavior has probably changed, so again... I'm not quite sure.
Give it a few test runs for yourself and see what you prefer.
I've been using RedHat, and Japanese in X from an english default just requires a few commands provided you have the proper packages installed(in 7.x at least).
Now everything launched from that shell will be in Japanese and support Japanese input(shift+space to activate). Alternately, you could just add those to your.xinitrc
If you just want Japanese support and keep english dialogs and menus use:
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US
... although I'm not yet sure how to get the font sizes to look normal.
The idea is to create an enjoyable user experience by default instead of letting him choose between "six equally broken ways to do it" (great quote from Havoc Pennington).
What about choosing between three nonbroken ways to do it.
I dumped Enlightenment in favour of Sawmill (as it was known then), simply because E was a big bloated monster that wanted to own the desktop whereas Sawfish knew its place.
Perhaps that's because you never told E its place. You can set it not to use a pager, not to set the background, not to use an iconbox, not to take bindings, and not to use some grotesque, ugly theme. E can be a simple WM if you so chose.
Oh, and E takes 6mb of RAM. Maybe when you're strapped for memory that's a problem, but even with 128mb of physical RAM it's hardly anything.
First of all, some of the requests you list are not the job of a Window Manager. A window manager is supposed to manage windows. Obvious point, but you seem to want more.
Second, and this is my opinion, Enligtenment beats out the Windows WM in every possible way. I don't mean in terms of fluff and flash, but in pure functionality(although it does that too). Many of these are standard among X WMs.
- Can enter text into a window other than the one on top, vital feature to me. Extremely useful when you have a window containing data on top of, let's say a spreadsheet, and need to input it in.
- Can make any window go to the top or bottom of the layout, and also have it stay there.
- Can make any window maximize only to available room.
- Can make any window fullscreen.
- Can remember specific settings for a program and always use it when program starts.
- Can destroy any window no matter how frozen the app is.
- Can shade. While you can also minimize, shading allows you to move or do whatever as if it were not minimized.
- Multiple/Virtual desktops. One screen gets crowded with lots and lots of windows. Much more convenient to separate them out.
- Can make any window stay present in all desktops.
- Rather intelligent window placement
- Lots of configurability.
- eesh Shell interface. Allows you to control all aspects of the WM through the command line or a script.
Sorry, don't believe the Windows WM has any of these.

Enough with the repeats... do you really think that we don't have the memorHEY cool google's not blocked in china anymore!
Yeah, and it can't be because more people build their own PCs with AMD and vendors prefer Intel.

Costco and Price Club merged years ago into what is now Costco, in case you are wondering.
Not paying attention to the pilot when there is a problem could be considered dangerous. ;)
Damn, mod me down -1 Ignorant.
lilofree.org? Gah, why not LFnet?
From the article, I'd presume the filter would start blocking emails with those jpegs and gifs.
When I tried out GCC 3.1 I just installed the new libstdc++ rpm alongside the old one, removing the old libstdc++-devel of course.
Worked fine for me, although I'm not sure if that was the wisest thing to do.

Everything isn't always the ideal though...
It doesn't matter as long as they all can understand each other's formats.
This isn't a collection of APIs, it's an Office suite.
He's right in a way. When you only have one item to pick from, you can be sure that you picked the best one.

On the other hand, some would say it was the worst one.
A local supermarket company recently celebrated achieving over 4% operating profit.
Kinda makes that 15% seem grand.

CTHD is decidedly a story of fantasy. Of course leaping a hundred meters at a time is bogus, but that's the point.
It's when movies try to claim or pretend they have any real basis in physics do we have a problem.
