1. If she's so damn smart...

Why hasn't she figured out a way to pay off my student loans for me? Hmm??

[ColbertWatcher]

3. You're right. I didn't even consider that! I'm so ashamed! n/t

[Deja Q]

2. Mayber she can single-handedly fix the remaining issues in Vista and reduce its requirements by 75%

(or maybe she'll be seen as "too expensive a cost", which is why a lot of real bugs haven't yet been fixed -- for SP1, for one example, Microsoft had the search item removed from the Start menu. A bit cheeky on MS's part, to say the least...)

[ColbertWatcher]

4. If she can do that, I say she shouldn't have to work another day in her life! n/t

[Orrex]

5. Or maybe she'll come up with a pill to reduce Mac-related smugness

With a big hug to Chovexani, of course!

25. In a completely unrelated soon to be deleted subthread...

Adan????
Blake's 7! Is that a Blake's 7 reference there at the bottom of your post?!?!!

Jebus, and I thought I was nerdy! :evilgrin:

6. I've never claimed to be smarter than anybody.

[NJmaverick]

7. Well thank you, that made my day

Nothing like being dumber than a 9 year old, to boost one's self esteem.:hi:

8. MSCP Exam Not Difficult, Actually

The answer to every question is "reboot the computer"

[OhioChick]

9. ....

:rofl:

[awoke_in_2003]

12. Actually, I answered all my problems

with Microsoft another way, I bought a Mac :)

[ColbertWatcher]

17. Me too! n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

22. believe it or not...

but I took the slogan "think different" seriously. I became a mac fanatic around the same time I realized I was a liberal

[MazeRat7]

10. LOL....so the MSCP is the new yardstick...

Well by those standards, pretty much everybody I know is a genius. Who knew?

Oh wait, my cat knew, he got his a couple of years ago...

Peace,

16. She did more than that. They discuss a few in the video at the link. n/t

[ChromeFoundry]

11. So... memorizing a bunch of answers gotten off of BrainDump

is now an indicator of genius?

MS Certs have been a joke in this industry since '96.

[ColbertWatcher]

18. There are other things according to the video. n/t

[JI7]

13. why is she dressed up like that

looks like something a young adult woman would wear. the hairstyle also.

[Evoman]

14. I'm smarter....I didn't get a MSCP.

I spent my spare time getting laid.

24. Well, I'd hope that she wasn't getting laid at age nine!

:puke:

Actually, the certification is only one of her many achievements.

[GreenTea]

15. No, all nine year old girls are smarter than me....What's your point?

[DS1]

19. MCP = garbage

Congrats to her for accomplishing a goal, but it's just a money pig for M$ at that level.

[Recursion]

20. I'm smart enough not to use Windows

:)

Fear not the penguin.

[ColbertWatcher]

21. Did no one watch the video!? n/t

[Lorien]

23. I did. She's quite a remarkable child. nt
