Not too bad I suppose

Don't see a PSU and operating system on that list.

Be pretty ironic if this is how Universes are actually created. For instance, say 13.7 billion years ago a civilisation turned on their LHC and created our Universe, destroying theirs in the process.

I was considering doing it, i got no exuse for not doing it though. :oops:
Then do it!

Prove it with a rational reasoned arguement

It's getting pretty damn ironic how many of you are (rightly) taking the OP down a peg or two for being boastful, but are then just happening to mention in passing what you got on an online test as well.
I got 50 beat that \

Thank you for your interest in the test at IQTest.com.
Your general IQ score is: 50
Lowest I've been able to get so far. scored 83 answering all the question false and 84 answering all of them true. So it looks like honesty does pay ;) Really want to see if I can get a score of 0 so I can make a career in politics. :lol:

Also for those who believe chess has little reflection on actual I.Q it does, Bobby Fischer who was a super-grand master had an I.Q of 187
Kasparov also a grand master, although maybe not a super one, lost to a machine(Deep Blue). Opens up a lot of questions as to the nature. of intelligence.

Anyway, is my IQ of 145 a good IQ? I took an IQ test three days ago (The first one I remember, the first one I took I got 145 also)
If afterwards you felt a strange shaking sensation and a voice getting louder and louder saying, "wake up, it's time for school." Then probably not.

But still it doesn't explain how, for example, asians score usually significantly better than whites in these tests, even though it's not made for them culturally.
Most Psychological testing uses a 5% level of significance. a 5 point deviation from a base score of 100 wouldn't be considered significant. Asians score consistantly higher on average on IQ tests but not significantly so.
Moving away from discussing the performance of different racial groups would be a good idea. Have you ever wondered how intelligent are the people who create the tests? Are they the world's most intelligent people? If not, how can they devise questions that they don't have the intelligence to work out the answer to?

It's not racist, it's just a statistical fact, regardless of labeling people as 'caucasians' or 'african americans' (really ignorant term, as not all black people are even from africa). Asians score slightly higher on IQ tests than whites, whites score slightly higher than blacks, who score slightly higher than aboriginals...
Hardly racism if it's the result of objective testing..
One of the main criticisms of IQ tests (in the US) is that they are culturally biased in favour of white, educated, middle-class americans. There have been a few studies that have shown that if the tests are phrased in a way that black working class people are more familiar with they will score higher than white, middle class people taking the same test.
Another criticism is that cognitive psychologists are divided on what intelligence actually is, so it's difficult to accurately quantify/measure something when you don't have a working definition of what it is you are trying to test.

Remind of one from some airline where they relesed some pilot reports with groundcrew responses.
Pilot: Left fromt tire almost needs replacing.
Mechanic: Almost replaced left front tire.
Pilot: Inflight movie volume set unbeliveably loud.
Mechanic: Volume set to more beliveable level.
Pilot: Engine #3 missing.
Mechanic: Number 3 engine found under left wing after breif search.
for those who don't know missing means missfireing.
Then there are some ones about flight attendant announcements. One of them them was just after a hard landing the pilot is sheepisdhly waiting for someone to comment on the landing. The last person off the plane is a little old lady who says: "sunny, did we land or were we shot down?".
Glad you reminded me. Absolute quality whether the're true or not. :lol:
After every flight Qantas pilots fill out a form, which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form and then pilots review them before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers:P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That's what they're for.
P: Suspected crack in windshield. S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny. S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.
P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed.
P. Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget.

Here's some more info on .dll errors which may help
Your Windows operating system usually displays .dllerror messages if the .dll file is corrupt or it is
missing from the main directory. Here are some of
the possibilities that could generate .dll error messages:
* You have uninstalled a program, but that program along with its files has removed a .dll file that is required by some other program.
* You have installed a program that may have overwritten the .dll file with an older version or with a version that is not compatible with the program.
* A bad installation has occurred that caused the .dll errors.
* Another user or program maliciously or by mistake has deleted the .dll and associated file.
* There is a hardware issue with the computer, such as bad hard drive, causing the data on the drive to become corrupt, causing the .dll errors.
You could try
1)Updating Windows and your AV program then do a ful scan
2) disc clean up
3) disc defragment
try running the download in compatability mode
try checking the website for any updates that may be available
try re-installing the software
Edit: you could try running the hl2[Caution: Executable File] from the command prompt (that has worked for me in the past with games that wouldn't load correctly).

Follow the advice given in those links, if you're still having problems try downloading a good registry cleaner.
-
AVG have fixed the problem. Just need to download and run an update.

I once had a dream where I was eating a giant marshmallow, when I woke up the next morning my pillow had disappeared.

The thing that should only impress me is the style, flair and intelligence of the writing, not the technical accuracy.

Is it really justified, therefore, to exclude a young man from his career aspiration, and a community of a good doctor in the future, for a criminal offence as pitifully minor as this?
No. But unfortunately the rehabilitation of offenders act doesn't give any protection to people that are dismissed from or denied entry to a profession due to past convictions. There are also exceptions to the act, certain occupations (working with sick/and or vulnerable people being one) require details of all convictions whether spent or unspent. So even if he were to graduate he would have his past hanging over him for his whole career. Hardly seems fair that one stupid mistake made as a child should be able to blight a person's whole adult life.

If your laptop is making that type of noise then it's most likely you have a velociraptor hiding in there :ohnoes:
But if the noise stops when you tap your laptop then you could just have a loose connection somewhere. But having said that, don't give up on the velociraptor theory just yet, just think how cool it would be to have your own pet dinosaur.

My first thought if my PC started behaving like that after clicking a link would be that I'd got a virus. Try updating Windows and your Anti-Virus program, then do a full scan, see if that helps.

Why not just try it instead of making a post about?
Now imagine if everyone with a question on T&C followed that advice...
I can actually
Poster: Hi I was thinking of upgrading my BIOS but I've never tried it before, can it do any harm?
Reply: Why not just try it instead of making a post about it?
Poster: Hi, me again. I'm posting from a PC in the public Library. I just tried to upgrade my BIOS but I think something went wrong. Can anyone help?

OK. I'll consider myself told off :P
To answer question 1 more impartially. It appears your OS is having trouble reading/finding the autorun[Caution: Executable File] file. what I posted earlier should bypass that file and go straight to setup.
Slayer; what's next?
