Pretty much this. The correlation between intelligence and knowledge isn't as high as these fake IQ tests might want you to think. A better iq test question might be some dumb looking bullshit like this But I'm no expert in testing methodology.

I challenge your notion that anyone who can live to 45 as a hunter-gatherer is so physically elite that you can just accept that they'll die of natural death a long time from there. I think you're overestimating how indicative toward long-life the ability to survive harsh conditions, fighting...

I will judge you and your family based on future updates or lack thereof.

Interesting thought. I'll never understand why people are more okay paying c*1.5 dollars over 2 years than c dollars up front.

I think Ariel Helwani makes the best fighter rankings, but maybe he and I just have the same bias.

lol @ long division

No posts this morning? That's bullshit, someone argue with me about this thread please.

I don't disagree. I have no personal attachment to any location on the planet and if my culture was being a pain in the ass to the entire world I wouldn't mind leaving. On the flip side, many Americans believe that 'if you give the muslims anything they'll just want more' and probably view...

Yep. Also history/grammar tests aren't very good estimations of IQ. As for the underlying purpose of the thread, I've read a lot that would suggest that modern man adapted more to specific diseases than intelligence and we may, in fact, be dumber and less perceptive than our...

Duppin it's really not that complicated. I do appreciate that gunshots are loud though and wouldn't want silencers to be very common.

+1 for 1994. Maybe in a few days after more submissions come up I'll merge a poll into the thread.

as mentioned earlier in this thread, intel is targeting a 5nm process in 2019 http://www.tomshardware.com/news/int...5nm,17578.html

I don't acknowledge that. We don't know the hardware specs of the next gen consoles nor smartphones 8 years from now, but I would wager that it's probably a similar difference in computational power between an Xbox360 and an iphone5 (around 7 years difference in release date). Note that an...

Ok maybe ten years is a lot. Maybe 7 or 8 would be more realistic. And I'm including the entire package of cpu and gpu into a platform's processing capability.

I'll believe it when I see it. Other improvements in science will more than offset the reduction of obesity.

Cool, thanks.

You're right, there is no real acceptable solution for Israel. But when you say 'give up tons of land' do you mean 'stop building new settlements illegally'?

And that 2 year old technology has more processing capacity than the next 10 years of smartphones.

I don't really have much to say to that except that the fantasy about a 100-man home invasion team was hilarious and that counter-arguments to arguments not presented here aren't very useful.

Is there any purpose for this besides geographics of your genes? As in, is it important for avoiding health issues?

Besides Sean blaming other people for him not reading the TBA in the title, I can't wait for Witcher3 to come out and dominate my life for a week or two.

Nobody I know says HD anyway even if it's plastered all over marketing. We're counting pixels here boys, if you're telling me how many pixels it has just tell me how many it has.

Yeah I'm hoping they drop the 4k nomenclature because it implies 4k height instead of width.

What are you if you're a sedentary programmer/gamer who lifts weights a few times every January/Febuary?

This is the kind of thing I'd have to see to think was a big enough improvement to take the fps hit. There's already a huge difference in the resolution I'm able to run shit at and the incredibly low resolution of texture sizes available in games. I don't think it's obvious how bad texture sizes...

Yep. I'd love a comprehensive graph that showed firearm incidents at gun-dense zones (gun shows, firing range) vs firearm incidents at gun-free zones vs incidents at other locations like businesses/homes etc.

Yep.

I agree with you then. And I have no idea about the iphone5. I do know that intel is targeting a sub-10nm process in this decade, which is incredible. Where they go after that in terms of density I have no idea.

At first this sounded kinda dumb, but after looking at the gameplay elements it sounds primitive but cool. I think there's huge potential for this type of game.

Basically. I have no idea if that'd correspond to being able to perceive 720 vs 1080 at twice the distance or whatever.

I agree with the purpose of that graph but I think it's a little too aggressive where it states people can't notice differences. Then again I have 20/10 vision so I might be a little biased.

Gaming artists should really be commended for how many gamers think we're even close to flat returns on visual fidelity for more processing capability. I can't wait until the next generation of consoles makes the current generation look like Xbox/PS2. And the people who think that their...

Please point me to where anyone has said in this thread that if you have a gun nobody can shoot you. Because that's the stance that Kreugen chose to argue against.

bro Dashel the Piergies are calling. Forget your caveman diet and give in.

Yes.

The problem is that you have no factual basis to back up those feelings. You're just desperately searching for research that backs up what you think instinctively.

lol a bowl of chili that is mainly corn, beans, cornbread and an unidentified soy product.

I love asoiaf theories and knowing what people are saying enriches the reading of the books, but let's be real here. This man was born to shit on assumptions of where he will take his fictional story:
