  2. Re:SOCIALIST lies, IQ is genetic! on The Expert Mind · · Score: 1

    Socilism seems to work reasonable well on a small scale. Things like communes and kabutz work without government intervention, and families where only one partner works and the other stays at home have been working for a long time.

    IQ is not genetic

    So a dog has the same IQ as a human, Women are as good at parking as men and men are as good at socilising as women?

    IQ tests aren't the best measure of intelegence because a lot of the time they rely on learned skills, but at the same time the ability to learn and understand is a key part of intelegence. A better measure of intelegence would be to measure someones knowlage at the beginig, teach them as much as possible and the measure it at the end. I bet that even after everyone had finished Calc II there were some people who were way ahead of the others.

  4. More like 6 out of 7 on Microsoft Insists IE7 is Standards Compliant · · Score: 4, Informative

    when you install the AHEM font six out of seven pass.

  5. Re:50%? on Microsoft Insists IE7 is Standards Compliant · · Score: 1

    If your project can't meet at least 75% of it's goals, it's a complete failure. Anything less than 90% compliance is pathetic.

    Not true, have you never heard of the 80/20 rule.
    Basically you can get a product that does 80% of what you want by only implementing 20% of what you've asked for. It's used all over the place for requirements management.

    There will always be thouse project where anything less than 100% is a failure, and CSS fits somewhere between 95 and 100%.

  8. expert at or expert in? on The Expert Mind · · Score: 1

    I think people seem to be getting confused between being an expert at something and an expert in a field.

    Most people could become an expert in music just by studying music theory for ten years, but it takes someone gifted to become an expert at music.

    The same goes for body building. It doesn't take muscles to be an expert in Body building but it does take the correct generic makeup to become an expert at bodybuilding.

    That's strange, I always thought capatilist retoric was that we are all born equal so all have an equal chance in life.

    Socilist retoric is that we are all born differerent but should be treated equal so those with more tallent should support those with lesser tallent because it's not the fault of those with lesser tallent that they cannot do so well.

  10. What a load of crap on The Expert Mind · · Score: 1

    So, there basically trying to say that someone with Dyslexia only has Dyslexia because they haven't trained hard enough even though it runs in famalies.

    There also trying to say that someone who has always had a low IQ can become an expert if they spend ten years in the field.

    Given the number of things I cannot do even though I have tried as hard or harder that most people and compairing them to the things I can do and always have been able to do without even thinking about them I'd say this artical is a load of crap.

  14. Re:Terrorists on The UK's Total Surveillance · · Score: 1

    The UK Governments have been turning the UK into a country where everyone is individually responsable (i.e. no social responsibility) for a very long time. I don't think the crimnal justice bill or the poll tax had anything to do with Terrorists but they were the thin end of the wedge that's ending up with total survailance of the population just incase they step out of line.

    You can get an ASBO (Anti-social behaviour order) that can prevent you from doing things like looking at trees just incase you want to build a tree house without the burdon of proof that's normally required.
