Unix

reason
to act as if it is. My experience with UNIX starts back in 1978; could
you
use UNIX as it was then? MY IQ is 187; does that mean I know more than
you
about the UNIX / Linux flavor-of-the-month?

Gentlemen,

  Can I refer you to
http://www.geocities.com/rnseitz/Definition_of_IQ.html 

  I quote from that page ( on the subject of IQ ):

  160 to 174 0.01% 1 in 11,000 above 160 No limitations Descartes,
Einstein, Spinoza 
  174 to 200 0.0099% 1 in 1,000,000 above 174 No limitations
Shakespeare, Goethe, Newton

  now, I wouldn't want to lecture my betters and I admit of the
possibility that at least one of these postings was a little
tongue-in-cheek but clearly such rare intellects shouldn't need to
ask... well anything really? (Nice to see 2/3 Brits in to top triad, by
the way!)
