top execs do nothing more than send emails and review powerpoints. maybe read a couple PDFs. also most of them are lost with today's tech so they couldn't handle anything more than a mac (if that)

all the engineering work is done on Windows machines, and simulation/server side is all *nix.

so I wouldn't say there's a correlation between using a mac and intelligence. There is still one between being technologically challenged and using one tho.

On some physics symposium a few weeks ago literally 14 of 14 lecturers used MacBooks. In the audience it was also like 90% macs.

I don't really want to claim that all intelligent people use macs or anything like that, but the general consensus that OS X is a locked down system for retards is simply false.

correlations don't mean anything unless you want to pretend to have something you don't

Macs are great "terminals", though, you have to admit. Any time you want to use a real computer with a real OS, ssh is just three letters away. You see a lot of people using them for that, in addition to tasks that really don't demand a specific or very cabable OS, just one that supports MS word.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux. Many users do not understand the difference between the kernel, which is Linux, and the whole system, which they also call “Linux”. The ambiguous use of the name doesn't help people understand. These users often think that Linus Torvalds developed the whole operating system in 1991, with a bit of help.Programmers generally know that Linux is a kernel.But since they have generally heard the whole system called “Linux” as well, they often envisage a history that would justify naming the whole system after the kernel. For example, many believe that once Linus Torvalds finished writing Linux, the kernel, its users looked around for other free software to go with it, and found that (for no particular reason) most everything necessary to make a Unix-like system was already available. What they found was no accident—it was the not-quite-complete GNU system. The available free software added up to a complete system because the GNU Project had been working since 1984 to make one. In the The GNU Manifesto we set forth the goal of developing a free Unix-like system, called GNU.

If we tried to measure the GNU Project's contribution in this way, what would we conclude? One CD-ROM vendor found that in their “Linux distribution”, GNU software was the largest single contingent, around 28% of the total source code, and this included some of the essential major components without which there could be no system. Linux itself was about 3%. (The proportions in 2008 are similar: in the “main” repository of gNewSense, Linux is 1.5% and GNU packages are 15%.) So if you were going to pick a name for the system based on who wrote the programs in the system, the most appropriate single choice would be “GNU”.

I've done a few contracts for the Canadian Space Agency and after a while you realize that you don't change what ain't broken.

The antennas that uplinks with the spacecraft all run on MS-DOS and prior attempts update the software have all resulted in critical errors popping up in realtime, things that worked flawlessly on the old system..

Everything's on a closed off network anyway so security vulnerabilities aren't much of an issue.

NASA only uses Macs in shit that's not mission-related (press conferences, terminals, emails, Human Resources, etc.) The real important stuff uses different flavors of UNIX and Linux. Some of their computers still run DOS and old versions of Windows because they have custom-made software that's too expensive to replace.

>>56904768
it's not really the operating system or computer because everyone is literally buying technology. any genius can go buy a dell with windows and the inverse any stump dumb person can go by a mac. intelligent users do intelligent things on any system or hardware, less intelligent people do less intelligent things on any system or hardware.

it's entirely anecdotal and any study like this is just trying to market people into 'ya smart people use mac i want a mac'.

i would say though by and large i think linux users are probably by and large smarter. for one the operating system takes a lot of reading and research to effectively use. secondly most linux users are interested in computer software and programming which is a probably a facet of intelligence. most stupid people see learning how such a complex system works a daunting and unworthy task.
