    Hmmm... it strikes me that we should be doing better on this - like all above 90%? Does CP have the wrong following (are we all strippers posing as dev's), or is the survey odd? :~

          See title. Guess what I answered for number 2 ("BTinternet?")... i answered "Argh....." ;) [edit: apparently each time you get different questions. :-O] Certificate[^]. I didn't get these, but surely the fact I even bothered to find them must add something to my initial score?... 100%[^] 0%[^]

                :omg: 89%! Is this a good thing? Actually, I move to throw out the entire quiz because of it's format...just look at the file extension people! Can we really trust anyone who uses...that:laugh:

                    76% "You're on a particularly useless cusp known as "being a bit of a nerd". Nobody really trusts what you say about computers, but at the same time, they keep asking you really annoying questions that they could answer for themselves if they just spent five minutes thinking about it. You also have to spend a lot of time not having a life in order to keep your slightly inadequate skills up to date. You have a choice: work harder and learn more, or give up and start to enjoy life." There's hope for me yet!! :-D

                      ROFL, my secret is out... Solid, if unimaginative scoring. You probably know enough about computers to get by, though I bet you have to bluff a bit when it comes to talking to your kids/IT department. Pay a bit more attention when others are trying to help you and you might not be such a drain on everyone's time. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.
