This just goes to prove what I've been thinking for several years - your IQ score only tells how well can you solve IQ tests. Nothing more, nothing less. That said, I just don't understand people who are fond of their (high) IQ. -- /~\ The ASCIIAndrej Ticho Kacian andrej at kacian dot sk \ / Ribbon Campaign GnuPG public key ID: 7CD93FE2 (pgp.mit.edu) X Against HTML Key fingerprint: / \ Email!

On Thu, 26 Feb 2004, Matthias F. Brandstetter uttered the following... -- quoting Grendel -- It actually is superior, My IQ ranks at 165, and I am a life member of mensa. Wow Grendel, you're my man ... you must be the most intelligent guy I've ever wrote to! Not really there are far more greater individuals. Linus Pauling and bobby fisher had ~ 175, and you see the IQ scale is such that there is a immense difference between say 165 and 175. Ie a 175 person is a really a genius. Really I was disappointed when my IQ was confirmed as 165 as I was expecting far more. What I can't understand: How could it be that a guy with an IQ of only 132 (shame on me) like me was able to fill a bug report at first try (bug got fixed 2 days later), but such a genius like you wasn't able to do that? Strange things happening here... There were several reasons, 1. I clicked on the New Link which is actually New-Expert, and not New-guided which is listed in the bottom of the screen were o one who is submitting his first bug report would look. 2. Time was of the essense, I was short of time and the new-expert was so complicated to figureout, for a first time submitter of bugzilla. 3. It was a simple problem where the latest qt (3.2 IIRC) was trying to link with the earlier version of qt(3.1), while compiling. So what I did was to rm the qt 3.1 libs and recompile the latest qt and it compiled perfectly as the old qt library was nto there to link to. So although I did not submit the bug report I figured out how to do it.

If you visit bugs.gentoo.org there is a link under Gentoo Linux Bugzilla in BIG letters saying Report a Bug - Using the guided format. Thats in the middle of the screen, not at the bottom.

But I would have assumed that, with your superior intellect, you It actually is superior, My IQ ranks at 165, and I am a life member of mensa. would have noticed that all of those soo many choices have defaults. Even if you handt used bugzilla before, wouldn't you think that the defaults are there for a reason? It also specifically says to not change the assigned field if you don't know whom to assign it to. Isn't it obvious that the reason for this is because the default receiver is somebody(s) that can field the bugs correctly? Actually I registered, then I wanted to report a bug in which qt 3.2 wouldnt compile if a previous qt was installed. However the huge amount of options really confused me and I even read the tutorial but still I gave up. I finally removed my earlier qt libraries and then newer qt was able to compile cleanly. It certainly would have been much easier if some text which explains everything like your statement above was there. Even with my not-so-superior intellect (I.Q. of 136), it was easy enough for me to file my first bug using the 'New' (not 'New-expert') option in the bar at the bottom of the screen, which guides you through creating a new bug. Everything is plainly laid out with sufficient (IMO) descriptions. You may not have seen this link, but give it a try 148 smart enough not to join mensa when invited.
