Would you have to get a brain license to be allowed to have the intelligence to be able to get an intellectual property patent? Would you have to get a intellectual speaking license to be able to speak as an intellectual?

Is some proof of intellect was required before speaking as a "intellectual"?

drjd · 06-08-2021, 06:23 AM

Is there any online certification for intellect?

DNSB · 06-08-2021, 02:01 PM

Have you tried a Google search?

Solitaire1 · 06-08-2021, 02:50 PM

Wouldn't using Google reduce the need for intellect since you can just find what you need rather than having to figure it out on your own?

Is solitaire1 still using paper and pencil instead of a calculator? Is not knowing how to craft a search to give usable answers in itself not an exercise of one's intellect?

Solitaire1 · 06-09-2021, 12:33 PM

Wouldn't that depend on the complexity of the syntax for a search?

DNSB · 06-09-2021, 01:30 PM

Have you noticed the number of people who have no idea of how to use special characters in their Google search queries never mind using the advanced search form?

Solitaire1 · 06-09-2021, 02:32 PM

Are the special symbols (such as "-" to exclude an item) still valid search operators?

DNSB · 06-09-2021, 06:14 PM

Have you read the Special Characters: Summary? Does it mention some of the other specials such as @ or #?

drjd · 06-11-2021, 06:10 AM

What is so special about @ and #? Aren't they just a character, anyway?

DNSB · 06-11-2021, 01:22 PM

Do you not realize that @ can be used to search social media (@twitter) and # can be used to search for hash tags (#hashtagtrending)? Or that by entering $100..$400, you can search for a price between $100 and $400?

drjd · 06-16-2021, 07:37 AM

Don't you have something cheaper than $100, please?

Solitaire1 · 06-16-2021, 12:30 PM

Wouldn't a hamburger cost less than $100?

DNSB · 06-16-2021, 01:07 PM

Who wants to eat at such a cheap place?
