Installed it, see my update.
You might want to tell them that they *really* need to improve the error messages in their so called "Download Manager".
Website "http://" not found doesn't go well with developers using the software
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.
How to ask a question

I have seen that from a number of download managers. Usually the program had failed at reading the URL from some source, and went with the default.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Am I the only programmer that gets upset when clueless coworkers invade personal space? Surely I can't be the only one right?

Wow! You have personal space?

Distance doesn't matter; on a conference call today two or even three of my cow-orkers were chewing gum -- right into their elephanting microphones. I had to take my headset off.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Ok so chewing gum is not an issue here in Singapore however they have no issues with sniffing here and they refuse to use a handkerchief/tissue so getting that on a conference call can really curl your toes.

No, you're not. And frankly, the more I work at home, alone, the more I can't stand working near other people. No, let me correct that. The more I can't stand working with people.

That's just it though. I love people. It's just some people in IT or the "office life" have like zero freaking clue. You say "piss off" and they think "nah, let's stalk this guy and get in his space." Cuz ya know, that's how friend are made.

Yes, you are the only one.
The rest of us just punch the first time, and find our personal space is rarely, if ever, invaded subsequently.

I presume there won't be any answers under 110 in a place for coders !
Also, I want to know if Im clever enough to do something really important at computers!( e.g working at intel,finding zero day exploits etc )..of course I know fluid intelligence is not the only factor...but it surely plays a major role!
So...my Intelligence Quotient is from 128 to 145(different tests,different results...most accurate was at~130 I think)
Is that good enough for what I want?
And what's yours?
Random fact: guitars with floyd rose tremolo system (floating tremolo)have less sustain than those with a fixed bridge since there is much energy lost on the bridge..sustain also varies by the wood used,distance between string and fretboard and material used at the end of the strings...who knows...maybe a stranger will call you and say "if you tell me a disadvantage of floating tremolo system i will give you 1.000.000€

This is what they won't tell you in academia land... measuring IQ is extremely subjective. And there are many types of intelligence that IQ simply does not measure. It's basically a number for geeks to geek out on much like how guys compare bench press.
Anyway, I have a genius level IQ that's like almost 200 (or did), but years of stress made that drop like a rock. And believe me I sure can be stupid at times. I'm sure I could climb it back up if I really wanted to. So could you. It only measures analytic intelligence where the prerequisite is some formal knowledge in XYZ despite the claims otherwise. The more you program the better your brain will learn to analyze and thus your IQ will go up, assuming stress doesn't kill you.
So, learn Zen, smoke pot, be a genius.

I totally agree with you.
When I was 17, I've got 160 for my IQ. Now, after 4 years, I take another IQ test and I just got ~150.
Truly stress affects how the brain works after all.
And, I don't mind having lower IQ, 'coz not everything in life was taught in school. You just have to know it by yourself. The more you get older, the more you learn (from experiences).
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Which is what I've learned. Book smarts are great to serve as a foundation to build on, but that itself is not the whole picture. Experience is the true teacher in life. It's one thing to recite a book, it's a whole other to know from firsthand experience.
Some of the folks what would test low on an IQ test are usually happy and smiling and have no social qualms. So who's really the smart ones?
