Reply to: Internet Explorer users "have a lower IQ"

Firebug did look good but already moved on to from incompehensible jscript interactives about slugs onto incomprehensible Android apps about slugs before I discovered it.

Yeh me too mainly, although got all the others, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome for website and jscript testing. Chrome is excellent, dunno what people see in Firefox though. Slow to open.

That's easy, Firebug. I'm not sure how I ever managed without it.

here we go another great example of a comparison being drawn between 2 unrelated statistics

many people who first use the internet etc will be doing it probably on a bog standard PC - which comes with IE as standard.

The actual stat is that the first experience many people will have with a browser will be IE and as that will also include the low IQ demograph who may then never go on to use other browsers then you will always get a statistic which shows low IQ users use IE - not out of choice I think is the key

They are probably not unrelated, if they are genuinely correlated. The causal relationship is just complex.

I use Lynx and Charlotte which presumably means I have a **** off sky high IQ

I often use links in graphical mode (links -g) in a Bash shell and I bet 100% of agencies I've sent my cv too won't have a clue of what I've just said.

links renders tables better than Lynx.

I use Opera as well.

P.S. Bonus points for using wget and cURL as well.

Examples of behaviour that would class as low IQ:

1. Not knowing what tax rate one was on while working abroad
2. Thinking duty free applied within Europe
3. Not understanding that the country I worked in had bailed out its banks and that its government debt was in fact sky high.

Shouldn't that be EU and even then there are places within the EU where you can shop nearly tax free. Also this is a bit of a generalisation as you're presupposing that the reader of your comment resides in Europe whereas they could be a visitor from outside of Europe in which case duty free would apply.

4. Pro entering the euro because one can buy a latte in Paris and Helsinki using the same currency

Chrome is the finest in my opinion, very fast (starting up and browsing) and plenty of extensions. I also like the sync feature, means all my devices have same bookmarks etc. I think firefox has this now also. Anyone using IE should be taken round the back and shot.

As original PM said. Using other browsers requires basic skills in searching, downloading and installing.
