I think that men rule the world, they control almost all powerful offices in the world, the problem is women control men.

I am studying MS VB05 right now, so if you can give me any tips or need some help on something I would be glad to help(or try).

I, however, subscribe to the Dilbert Principal. The intelligent ones are needed in the rank-and-file to get some actual work done. The dumb ones are promoted to get them out of the way.
How about the Peter principle, wherein people are continually promoted until they are in over their heads, but not demoted from that post, thus rising to the position of incompetence?

You guys are still confusing INTELLIGENT and WISDOM though...just like our AXIM computers would not be much of any use with data + powerful processor if there was no program that would use the data in a way to get a useful result is intelligence that is not used in a truely wise fashion useless, frankly a waste of resources.

Yeah but ut inteintelligence is useless if not used, that's the point.
Wisdom is intelligence APPLIED.

This thread is like debating which is faster a 624mhz PDA or a 4GHZ desktop when what it is used for is to write a .txt file. See my point? even though the PDA might be slower as such for a given application it would display a more reasonable solution (perhaps?) than "wasteing" the "extra" 3+GHz (and all the bling that comes with that desktop) on well...nothing.

So in a similair fashion intelligence not applied, is a waste more so than less intelligence used more wisely.

isn't wisdom what you have learned? intelligence is the ability to learn.

I don't know if men or women have more wisdom but data shows that men have a better ability to learn.

----------------

using your example: intelligence would be the ability to understand which is faster(in this example) a pda or a desktop. wisdom is knowing which one is the faster.

I guess you could even say that you wouldn't need that much intelligence to have wisdom. you could be told that a pda or a desktop is the faster, but it takes intelligence to understand why one or the other is faster.

**note: I do not have the wisdom of which is faster(cause I just don't know) but I do have the intelligence to understand it if I was to study it.

Knowledge would be what you've learned (or DATA on a computer if you want)

Intelligence is the ability to use the knowledge (or in the 'artificial intelligence' world processing speed or performance.).

Wisdom would be how wisely we use our knowledge, hence intelligence need not at all be a parallel with wise actions, or wisdom.

The more intelligence (or processor speed in computing terms) there is the more you expect no?

I mean we do 'accept' certain limitations from our Axim PDA's we would never accept from a $400~500 desktop or laptop correct? Hence we don't expect it to perform the same way since it just doesn't have that level of performance.

So the fact that we men are using our 'intelligence' to do researches of this nature or/and debate/discuss this matter in a thread like this shows how we USE our knowledge and intelligence. Hence is shows how wise (or not? ;)) we are as men.

It really isn't as complex as it sounds.

Intelligence = processor speed
Knowledge = data
Wisdom = what tasks is the processor & data used for.
