The highest I ever got on an IQ test is 134, and the lowest is 86. I got a couple of others around 120. So, take your pick.

I find it disappointing that the majority of posts here only want revenge with long sentences or even death, and only a minority want to change the system or put systems in place to make this less likely to happen again.

You already can, in a roundabout way. If there's a site I want to be the first result after I've just typed just a single letter in the address bar, I type as little of the sites name as I can before it appears in autocomplete. Th

Used it for five minutes, and already found two great websites. I don't know who's behind that search engine, but thank you!

I think the argument is, having extremist websites accessible is a situation that creates extremist groups.

Maybe he just didn't mention it, but nowhere in that post does it say that it was his father's wish to die if he was in such a situation. Helping someone die who made their wishes clear, I'm perfectly okay with. But assuming

Inaccurate headline. Electronic games have no detectable effect on the behaviour of kids aged 5 to 7, according to a single study. I don't think it's enough to extrapolate to all kids of all ages, and it doesn't automatically

UK minimum wage is £6.31 an hour which converts to $10.24, so slightly higher. Though maybe that conversion is too simplistic.

Wouldn't that just cause bitcoin to become more expensive, until it's so expensive the US can't afford to buy up the last few bitcoins?

Thank you! I'd noticed repeated reports of Tesla fires, but wasn't sure if it was because they were more flammable, or just more likely to be reported on if they do catch fire. This is the first thing I've read that actually

I wouldn't call PCManFM a "good" file manager. It's one of the consistently buggiest pieces of software I've used. Not major show stopping bugs, just a constant stream of minor problems every day with the occasional

I like how the bottom of the list is so mixed. It seems to be extremely prosperous first world nations with so few social problems they get little crime, mixed with nations so poor, they can't afford police to catch criminals or prison

Your entire argument seems to be built around paranoid and hysteria and things you've seen in sci-fi movies. We already have drones that kill and injure human beings. They're called missiles and torpedoes, and the third world has

Crime rates are lower than they've been in a long time. And the reason we know they are, is the crime survey. The crime survey telephones a bunch of random people and asks them if they've been a victim of crime in the past 12 mont

And electric cars have better and larger crumple zones making front impacts more survivable. This is due to them not having an inflexible engine taking up most room in the front. Which kind of accident is more common? Bottom impacts or fron

You didn't actually read the article did you? The vast majority of air defence systems the US has gone against are SA-2 which is late 1950s tech, SA-3, which is early 1960s tech and a few SA-5s and SA-6's, which are late 60s tech.
