Absolutely, that is the greater problem by far.


However most of the Gays do seem to be of higher intelligence.
Certainly in the computing world.

To someone who feels an obligation to be politically correct in all
thoughts, words and deeds, I'm not surprised it should seem so.

In the real world I have never noticed a correlation one way or the other. I
will say that one or two of the most mind-numbingly stupid people I've ever
known happened to be homosexual, but I still wouldn't take that as having
any real significance as to correlation.

Never been politically correct. You should attend one of my
presentations on software (you certainly need to improve yours) .

I was thinking of Turing.

I'm content with what I'm using but I'm always open to constructive
suggestions. What do you think is wrong with my software and what do you
believe I should be using instead, and why?

In other words you have no point, nothing useful to say and are just taking
up bandwidth and wasting people's time. I guess I should have expected
that -- it comports perfectly with your other efforts.

Plonk.

Last time you said that You ended up telling some one who actually had
a (well documented) hand in designing the Internet you knew (with no
evidence) more than he did.

I have a reasonable knowledge of good coding practice. You clearly do
not.

I think you will find a high correlation between openly gay people and those
in the arts. I have no statistics. It may also be that the climate in the
art world allows gay people to be more open about it.

I don't usually take photographs of bikers *on* bikes. The bikes
themselves don't interest me. My interest is more to the character
shots of the people.

I do have one of a biker on a bike, though:

http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Photog...0_PLik2-XL.jpg

When you stand back to get the bike in the frame, you lose the detail
of the person.


You certainly caught his character, but you have to look hard. the biker
looks a little too dark and the bright chrome of the bike a tad too bright.


One of the reasons I don't like photographing bikes is all that chrome
is hotspot hell. Chrome *is* bright.


Well, you did validate at least one Harley rider.

I know exactly what you mean about tricky highlights off chrome.
Try these for size;

http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/_DNC1279w.jpg


I don't do those type of shots. The machines don't interest me unless
they are rusty old wrecks. The people on or around the machines are
what I like to take candid photographs of. Usually I crop out all but
the part of the machine that is around the face or the upper body.

To take a good shot of a motorcycle you need to set up at the right
time of day, position the bike so the light falls the right way, and
(sometimes) use a reflector or screen to manage the light. Then you
have to worry about reflections in the paintwork or chrome. All that
just doesn't interest me.

Part of that lack of interest is my lack of appreciation for the
machine itself. I'd like to find an old Indian propped up in a barn,
but all those modern bikes leave me cold. Photographically.

I've still got a 1971 Moto Guzzi Ambassador in the garage, but its in
parts and pieces. Also in boxes is most of a 1972 Moto Guzzi El
Dorado. If the SI mandate is ever "unfinished projects", I'm in luck.

I doubt it. There are a lot of celebrity lesbians and I haven't heard of
any one of them actually giving birth. They always seem to acquire
"their" children by adoption.


And that has nothing to do with gay marriage causing a population
decline. (not sure that a decline would be a bad thing.)


Of course. Irrelevant to the quoted comment.

A bigger and more important problem is that the more intelligent people
practice some form of birth control. Many of the less intelligent do not.

Yes. And when there exists a policy of stealing money from the rich
(successful) and giving it to the poor (unsuccessful) the average
intelligence of the human race deteriorates as a result. The unsuccessful
just have more children, and the successful, fewer.....
