    Interesting, but the places where it is low (0-9.3) make up about 90% of the population.

      hi, and welcome to "How to spot a Noob", i'm your host bird, stevie the trippin seagull.
      today's lesson is about retrommenting.
      "what's that?" you ask. well, it's the fine art of commenting on posts that are more than 2 days old, e.g. not on the front page anymore. now, in the hands of a seasoned mucho member, retrommmenting can mean great fun and huge lulz, see this link for example:

      http://www.muchosucko.com/show/super_nova_in_make_up-30618#comment_1378262

      in the hands of a noob however, retrommenting looks more like the comment above and is a surefire way to single out clueless and unliked noobs.
      that concludes today's episode of "how to spot a noob", i've been your host birdie steven, allow me to play you out:

    • Rolandofgilead
      Rolandofgilead 2009-10-22T16:58:25Z says:

      Why am I commenting? Maybe because liberals bunch the independent free thinkers in this country in with the right-wingers, it makes them easier to dismiss for not marching in lock step with the cerebrally superior, highly enlightened left which blindly follow the media, and then point fingers at the inbred right for doing the same. And what water does your opinion hold, Hank? You don't even fucking live here, but were still able to cast your ballot for Stuart Smalley. Isn't this country great?

      Oranjeboom 2009-10-22T23:11:41Z says:

      Ignoring the news doesn't make you smart, Roland. You have to read/watch the news, just make sure to do it from a number of sources.

      Oh, & make sure you understand the agenda of each source, then you can at least make an educated analysis. News isn't necessarily false, it's just 99% biased.

      I read both The Times & Reuters websites for free, plus I have a subscription to the Financial Times which provides a pretty good summary of world affairs.

    • Oranjeboom
      Oranjeboom 2009-10-22T23:12:39Z says:

      HankChinaski 2009-10-23T04:38:31Z says:

      That's great Steven, but the umlaut is a pronounciation marker, right? English doesn't have any different pronounciation for the letter with or without the umlaut, therefore it's meaning less in English, which is why when you see uber written in English is doesn't have a fucking umlaut.

      When you say 'best', you are talking about the top percentile.

      I have proven your comment to be false.

      As for your 'top google result', which I couldn't replicate, by the way.

      "In a report from April 2009, J-C. Billaut, D. Bouyssou and Ph. Vincke analyze how the ARWU works, using their insights as specialists of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Their main conclusions are that the criteria that are used are not relevant, that the aggregation methodology is plagued by a number of major problems and that the whole exercise suffers from an insufficient attention paid to fundamental structuring issues"

      I even used a US source in my list, you resorted to a list based on no actual methodology in its ranking.
