A mediocre turnout of 29 entries. Apparently there are fewer geeks here than I thought. But alas, on to the results:
1. What antivirus software do you use?
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cols="2" frame="void" rules="groups"> <colgroup><col width="136"><col width="86"></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" height="17" width="136">Norton</td> <td sdval="26" sdnum="1033;" align="right" width="86">26</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">AVG Free</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">McAfee</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Bit Defender</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Sigh, yup everyone figured Stupid with go with Norton, and they were right. I figured McAfee would get more hits here as the original, but Norton is the big name now. Even if Norton Anti-Virus is the main reason behind all those "turn off your A/V software before installing / running this program" warnings you see...
2. Name the best Pixar movie ever.
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cols="2" frame="void" rules="groups"> <colgroup><col width="136"><col width="86"></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" height="17" width="136">Toy Story</td> <td sdval="16" sdnum="1033;" align="right" width="86">16</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">The Incredibles</td> <td sdval="8" sdnum="1033;" align="right">8</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Shrek</td> <td sdval="3" sdnum="1033;" align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Finding Nemo</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Ice Age</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
It was interesting to see that a few people figured Stupid would assume "Pixar = computer animated film" and go with the biggie, Shrek, even though it's not a Pixar movie, but a surprising number of astute observers figured Stupid would go with the first big computer animated hit, Toy Story. Runner-up went to the most recent Pixar film, "The Incredibles".
The "correct" answer here, of course, is "Finding Nemo", as the jokes are still funny and you can still find new subtleties even after the 250th viewing with your 2-1/2 year old daughter who thinks it is the best movie ever ("Silly, whales don't eat fish, they eat Krill. Oh look, Krill!")
3. Name a programming language.
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cols="2" frame="void" rules="groups"> <colgroup><col width="136"><col width="86"></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" height="17" width="136">C++</td> <td sdval="14" sdnum="1033;" align="right" width="86">14</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Java</td> <td sdval="5" sdnum="1033;" align="right">5</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">C</td> <td sdval="3" sdnum="1033;" align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Visual Basic</td> <td sdval="3" sdnum="1033;" align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Basic</td> <td sdval="2" sdnum="1033;" align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Perl</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">HTML</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
This was the first question where I had to make some judgement calls. People who gave two answers (C/C++ was common) got the first one chosen. It's not fair to everyone else to cover your bases, so I made a call. If you're not happy with this, then re-read the rules http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
4. Who makes the CPU in your computer?
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cols="2" frame="void" rules="groups"> <colgroup><col width="136"><col width="86"></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" height="17" width="136">Intel</td> <td sdval="25" sdnum="1033;" align="right" width="86">25</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">AMD</td> <td sdval="2" sdnum="1033;" align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Pentium</td> <td sdval="2" sdnum="1033;" align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Dell</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Sorry to the person who answered "Dell", but not enough people went with the common definition of "CPU" as "the big box next to your monitor / under your desk that all the cables connect to", but instead went with the correct definition of "the tiny little chip inside that big box that makes everything work". I was actually surprised there weren't more answers along those lines.
The interesting psychology here is despite the overwhelming calls on this forum to upgrade to an AMD processor, everyone figured Stupid would buy into the "Intel Inside" marketing machine and put down Intel. Of course, in this case, Stupid is actually the correct one, since most people with AMD boxes uses non-AMD chipsets, and while they get great speed they have to put up with occasional weird stability issues (heck, Nvidia's nForce entry into the Intel market is plagued with memory stability issues with their latest BIOS update). "Intel Inside", baby!
(Yes, I just did an upgrade yesterday, and put a 3.0GHz Intel P4 HyperThreaded processor in my box)
5. What brand of video card do you own?
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cols="2" frame="void" rules="groups"> <colgroup><col width="136"><col width="86"></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" height="17" width="136">ATI</td> <td sdval="12" sdnum="1033;" align="right" width="86">12</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Nvidia</td> <td sdval="8" sdnum="1033;" align="right">8</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">GeForce</td> <td sdval="3" sdnum="1033;" align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Radeon</td> <td sdval="3" sdnum="1033;" align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Gigabyte</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">Voodoo</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">ASUS</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Another interesting breakdown, as the GeForce/Radeon vote split the ATI/Nvidia factions a bit (and again, the "GeForce/Nvidia" entry got marked down as "GeForce"). Of course, "Radeon" and "GeForce" are model numbers, much like answering "Explorer" instead of "Ford" if someone asks you who makes your SUV. Not enough people figured Stupid would go that route. And there is at least one 3dfx holdout in the group.
Up until yesterday's upgrade, I would have said "Nvidia" is the correct answer here, thanks to pixel shader 3.0 support and a bit tighter adherence to the D3D spec, but then the 6600GT I tried to put in my box choked big time every time I went to install drivers for it, so it's being RMA'ed back to NewEgg and my older ATI 9600 went back in. And there's the fact that "Nvidia" does not actually make video cards, just the chips that go in them, so I won't say that "Nvidia" was the "correct" answer.
6. How big is your hard drive?
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cols="2" frame="void" rules="groups"> <colgroup><col width="136"><col width="86"></colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td align="left" height="17" width="136">80GB</td> <td sdval="8" sdnum="1033;" align="right" width="86">8</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">100GB</td> <td sdval="7" sdnum="1033;" align="right">7</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">40GB</td> <td sdval="6" sdnum="1033;" align="right">6</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">60GB</td> <td sdval="2" sdnum="1033;" align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">50GB</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">20GB</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">10 inches</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">200GB</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">120GB</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" height="17">64GB</td> <td sdval="1" sdnum="1033;" align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
A really nice spread on these answers. A good run by the nice, round 100GB answer, even though very few people actually own or make a 100GB drive (80 or 120 are the more common sizes).
One person was oh-so-close to the "correct" answer, which is 3.5 inches (or 2.5 if you own a laptop). But they haven't made 10-inch platters in years (I used to have one lying around the house somewhere), so "No soup for you!"
