Poll: A few quick questions about your knowledge

Post by C Elegans »

1. Do you prefer being a
specialist - knowing a lot about a few things or a
generalist - knowing a little about a lot of things?

2. What areas are you biggest "gaps" in knowledge?

3. What is the most useless knowledge you have?

It suddenly occured to me, it must be terribly shock for people who discovered you after the heart attack. Seeing a young man on a floor, bottom half naked with a measure in his hand... :eek: :o
