He wasted all his time and effort to search Africa for "geniuses". According to my friend, IQ tests among different races, etc. my friend said it's only possible for 9 geniuses to exist in the whole continent of 900,000,000 due to the scientific data.

Talk about finding a needle in the haystack, not to mention that accusations of witchcraft will get you killed in the alleged "starting place of civilization". So I figure if 9 are in theory around, that its more likely like 3 because 6 of the geniuses were burned alive for being witches or involving in black magic.

Uglor writes "My latest in a long line of cheap office chairs broke, spilling me to the floor in a less than dignified manner. I need to buy a new chair for my desk at home. For the last several years I have been buying the same generic $50 black executive office chair. They usually last a year or two, then break. I spend 8 hours at work in a pretty decent office chair, then usually come home and spend several hours more in front of my computer. I'd like to buy a decent new one that will actually last. Does anyone have suggestions?

My criteria are:

1. Tough: I spend 12 hours a day in a chair. I'm hefty, so the chair needs to support me.
2. Comfortable: I want to be able to stand up from a 6 hour gaming session without my ass being numb.
3. Affordable: The less the better. More than the $50 cheapies I normally buy is ok, but no $1000 Aerons."

The research is a mixture of high level fluff and more detailed technical analysis of certain technologies and their weaknesses. Symantec have given Vista mixed reviews, thumbs up in certain areas and down in others. If Symantec is engaging in competitive research one can only wonder what other MS competitors are up to."
