  1. With an absolute novice you can't miss out one step.
  2. We don't know if it is or not infinite You can rationalise it by saying: it is any number greater than I can think of.
  3. Should she press Enter after each line?
  4. This is a perfect example where an affliction can be detrimental in one way but beneficial in another but survival matters the most.
  5. No, I think he's just having initial problems trying to get across what he's thinking; what his issue is.
  6. I would suggest giving her that instruction in simple steps after ascertaining from Fresh what OS she is using.
  7. True. I suppose the only way to beat it is to flash the bios just as a routine precaution even if you don't know if it's been infected.
  8. Do they have enough capacity to hold malware?
  9. No pizza option then?
  10. Yes, because you can't have all 'desirable' skills rolled into one person; they may conflict There are skills that work better with a low IQ as in, for example, methodical, repetitive tasks where they are working to their capacity whereas a quick, imaginative mind would soon become bored, agitated and, ultimately, unproductive. A well-functioning society is the sum of many diverse parts. We all have a niche. Academic people can't work to their full potential without manually-skilled people and vice versa; they are of equal value in societal terms. It doesn't matter whether my child has high or low intelligence as long as they feel fulfilled.
  11. What and who determines what are desirable traits? To pursue a certain specification in any species' morphology would reduce the potential survivability of such species by reducing the genetic diversity i.e. weeding out the traits that are not desirable right now but may be in some other adverse circumstance; it could mean the difference between the species surviving or going extinct.
  12. Could it not determine whether you get into xyz university? Where you are in the grading pile may determine if you make that year's minimum grade.
  13. Dig it, man! Some people have music in their bones. It doesn't matter what you give them, they'll make something out of it.
  14. Now you getting to the point. The system is about grading; how else is it to measure that you have learned what is required?
  15. That's good.Thanks. Is it really that locked up when encrypted? So, it's encrypted at the point where the boot sequence hands over to the operating system?
  16. If an encryption software becomes corrupt in an encrypted computer - that is encrypted in it's entirety - such that it becomes inaccessible, is it still straightforward to restore the computer with a fresh operating system? I want to play with a few such softwares but don't want to render my laptop completely locked and unrestorable . I accept the data will be lost. I have a recovery usb stick prepared with Windows 10 on it for such an event but not sure it will work on an encrypted computer. I'm looking at Veracrypt and DiskCryptor atm using AES 256.
  17. I thought I'd deleted that comment because I couldn't be bothered to pick over it... but hey... it's there now. I think it's your age (without being patronising) that makes you think like you currently do; your sense of idealism is very apparent...It'll pass. There is a trend towards bending over backwards not to offend any group, no matter how tenuous. To the point: if a person can't function properly or negatively impedes those around them, their behaviour is not commensurate with group or personal harmony i.e. their functioning is disordered
  18. Why? A mental disorder is that behaviour which is detrimental to a person with the disorder or detrimental to those around them.
  19. Stringing enough big, multisyllabic words together can go a long way.
  20. WRT homework, if the help doesn't impede the learning then it's ok.
  21. You probably gain more from your failures than your successes because you are more likely to pick over the small details in the post-mortem; you ask "Why" more often and, ultimately, learn things at a deeper level later on. In the long-term it means you'll be the wrong man for the job because you know nothing.
