That's the wrong view then. All of us started with zero points. Also, enough young people starting out.
My last surgeon was in her early twenties. It never occured to me to ask for her "points" on a website

You’ve been a member for less than a month. The one answer of yours that I looked at in QA told the questioner to google it, and used cursing to get your point across.
You are indeed inferior, but not because of your low rep points.

I’m willing to argue with you, but I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Not here...
When I started I found lots of people willing to help.
And even I don't have much time to participate here I learn a lot, have fun...
Of course from time to time it appears a super star that thinks is the best thing since the invention of coffee, but this happens everywhere.
Relax, have fun and enjoy this super community.

Not inferior just less experienced. Keep going for a couple of years and you will probably gain some experience. Probably not though, you seem to only post in the lounge and spam forums.

Most of us here are developers. Your snide comment isn't lost on us; you're not the only one here who has done high school math. If that's how you're trying to demonstrate how you're not "inferior", you should look for something else--this is not how you're going to make yourself endearing to the old-timers.

His comment is completely lost on me.
So are you saying I'm stupider than a high schooler?
Should I remind you that I have way more rep than you and so you should be groveling at my feet?

Yes, finally I have a Bluetooth gadget: a selfie-stick, guess I must be the last one that did not have one.
It is also the first time I paired a Bluetooth device with my phone, that went pretty painless.
The selfie-stick is quite luxurious, it also has LED lighting, to my amazement the light can also be set to three different modes of intensity. Amazing

The big question is: what are you going to do with it?
Is there much call for remote devices for beating up selfie takers?

Ummm, it was a gift for my wife's birthday, could not think of anything else to give.
She was disappointed by the selfie-stick though and would have preferred a bottle of perfume

Ow!
It's never easy though - Herself's Christmas present was her engagement ring having a missing diamond replaced, and the ring resized to fit her current finger ... Which would have been a good surprise, but it didn't work out that way ...
I tend to start thinking about Xmas / Birthday presents for Herself in June as I've only got six months to come up with both of them (Jan 1st is a sod of a day to have a birthday!)

Do not give her a new dust mop. Voice of experience. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

On the plus side you probably got some exercise out running the angry, mop swinging missus.

Ah the beauty of being married for over 40 years, we don't bother with presents, the recipient gets to pick the restaurant we celebrate at. That makes for a peaceful, harmonious life where the most important things are the dogs.

I don't know... I'm sure there's a market for a satellite-based laser that would zap anyone carrying a selfie stick.

Where does Bluetooth get into it?
Well, I have seen forks with Bluetooth, but I would never have guessed by myself why it needed BT.
|
|
|
|
|
It is a thumbnail sized remote control that also can be detached from the stick to operate the camera.
We also would not like to use a long cable when the stick is stretched to it's maximum length, don't we?
|
|

OK. It sounds like a BT remote control and a selfie stick sold as one unit. If what you really need is a remote for your smartphone, you might throw the selfie stick away.
I am so old that I am slightly puzzled by the idea of having a remote for a mobile ...
I certainly see the validity of the cable argument. I was told that BT has been successfully used for communication in space: Some of these satellites, after reaching their orbit, they open up and unfold numerous sensors and other "smart" units. Before launch, getting all the signal cables packed in a way guaranteeing that they can be unfolded without being tangled up is a significant problem. So, they have started to replace signal cables with Bluetooth connections between the unfolded sensors and the central intelligence in the satellite.
So I have been told, in informal forums. If it isn't true, it sure is a good lie.
