You sound like my wife. I think her overall intelligence is somewhat similar to mine, but she's much slower at her work. But she's extremely thorough and very good at what she does. She just takes a while. If you give us both the same task (and at one point we both did the same job, so it's relevant) I'll be done in 1/2 the time and I'll be probably 95% accurate. It might take her twice as long but she's 100% accurate.

Some jobs require unfailing accuracy and some require speed. Most employers are probably looking for a balance. But sometimes you need one or the other. I'll take the speed jobs and my wife will take the accuracy jobs.

On that note, we're willing to relocate if anybody's hiring...:)

I've always looked at it like processor speed. I've taken a few "IQ tests" in the distant past, and I've come out to around 130 to 140ish. But that's really subjective and I understand why people think IQ is bullshit. I could be just average, who knows.

But when dealing with most people it just feels like I'm thinking faster. Like they are able to reach much the same conclusions, it just takes them longer to formulate thoughts and ideas. I get impatient that conversations are taking so long when I can already predict where we're going to end up. I sort of feel "overclocked" if you will. When I find someone who seems to think at my speed, it's awesome. We usually have a great conversation - that happens relatively quickly.

Why, so we can steal North Korea's advanced satellite technology?

Or Torchlight 2

True, but that wasn't my point. I don't understand how someone who has no opinion on a topic would care enough to click the mouse on the "no opinion" option. I'm thinking about people coming across random polls on a web site and caring just enough to say they don't care, not scientific surveys or polls. In those, of course "no opinion" is important.

In retrospect, I apparently have quite an opinion about people who lack opinions...

If you think "meh" when you see a security camera, the proper option is to just not vote in the poll.

I've never understood people who see an opinion poll and choose the "I have no opinion" option. Unless they're trolling.

That or to keep out drunk people and kids. My wife and I always lock all of our doors every night. We both realize those locks would never keep a professional out, but they will keep out drunk people who think they are home when they aren't, and kids playing games for the most part.

Thanks for the idea, and I hadn't heard of Lastpass, so I looked them up and found this. Stuff like that, while probably never likely to affect me personally, still scares the hell out of me.

Yes, that's just one site. But if one site I use has their PW file stolen and broken I lose out on one site (and potentially any others I've used that specific PW for). If I trusted something like lastpass with my entire life and then they were successfully hacked...

I've often thought about trying something like Password Safe, but I commonly use 4 different computers that I might need my passwords on. And 3 of those are at home where I might be accessing a bank. So unless there's some way around that problem I'm not thinking of, I'll stick to my main 6 or 8 long random ones.

Ha, what I really need is some sort of cloud password service. Wait...

I'm at 4.0 Ghz, but my CPU temps are still pretty low. I set it at 4.0 when I built it, checked temps and went with it. I should probably push that a little... ;)

Good to hear. I just upgraded my card (7870 2 GB), but my CPU is also an i7 920, which is I guess getting dated as far as 'top of the line' gaming CPUs.

I just built my son a computer for Christmas with an i5 3570k clocked at 4.5 GHz. Even with my old card in it (6870 1 GB), it smokes my machine. /sigh Depressing.

Yeah, actually if you RTFA and look at the pictures included with it, they are assembling it on site. Yes, the trusses themselves were constructed elsewhere and brought in assembled, but the structure itself is being erected next to the reactor and will then be moved into place over the reactor on rails once it is completed.

Citizen #312374213 we've noticed a suspicious looking mole on your left upper thigh. You might want to get that checked out...

Actually, it seems to be a little harder to read than normal for me. I've never thought I had dyslexia, though.

Think he meant Activision/Blizzard. And the fact that Diablo 3 requires you to always be connected to Blizzard's servers even while playing single player, while maybe not pure evil, is the reason I will never buy Diablo 3.
