What Age Are We?

[imdeemvp]

i am 36yrs old and counting.....

[Evert]

31

[cmoore18]

57 and getting better every day!

[Ug]

17

(I've been near to St. Petersburg - Clearwater Beach Island to be specific. Nice weather!)

[ghaefb]

21... still alive and kicking :)

[foolish]

17, but I'm better than most of you will ever be with a hula-hoop.

[rico]

23, and gettin' old :)

[Scavenger]

47 ...and trying not to think about it!

Oh, goody, another one (1956? Yup.) Just 2.5 more years and I get my AARP card.

[expletive deleted]

cmoore18's already over the "hump", so he just makes me feel a bit better.

rico, you don't have any idea...

micha, the only reply I can think of is from a movie that is almost as old as you: "You will be." (Yoda, "Empire Strikes Back")

[grnchile]

I AM OLD!!!

Not entirely sure I like that choice of cut off points. It's the same one they use for "elderly" when suggesting flu shots. Fedora == flu? That seems cruel. I thought that it was working better than that.

[Scavenger]

Hey! I feel just like I did when I was 18 until I more.

[fjleal]

34 and fighting it!

But is a guy over 49 "OLD"? Why not "WISE"? Isn't "OLD" above 120?!...

[linuxmad]

I am 33 and ...as my fellow patriot member fjleal said But is a guy over 49 "OLD"? Why not "WISE"? Isn't "OLD" above 120?!... ... i must add that we become older when we lose the chance to learn about freedom. Age is just a small "but" when our minds ride free... Let's LINUUUUUUX....:D

[David]

wow, quite a range :)

I'm 22 :)

[folio]

I'm 16 :)

[Linuxworld]

I´m 42...

oh btw first post here and glad to now be a part of this Fedora community !

[shtik]

Middleclass with 23 here!

[crackers]

Wisdom is just a myth - it's really just experience. The kind of experience you get from actually doing the same bone-headed, stupid thing that a "younger" person is about to do.

[Prometheus]

This is freaky, everybody is either young or oldish. Not many in middle. Oh well, 17 here anyway.

[vinu]

28... neither young nor old....:rolleyes:

[s0lus]

19...
and still kickin...

well...

ill be kickin for awhile i guess....

[rogerdugans]

39 for a few more months...;)

Age joke (slightly edited version)

An old bull and a young one are up on top of a hill looking at a field full of cows.
The young bull turns to the old one and says "Hey! Let's run down there and make it with one of them cows!"
To which the old bull replies" "How about we walk down there and make it with all of them."
:D

[AliOop]

Just turned 56 this passed Jan. I like to think I'm entering my "Golden Years". Well, thats better then my son telling me: "Gee Dad, you're over half a century old". That really gets my goat! Got a late start on computers. Didn't even own one until 1999. The computer bug bit me when I got DSL to go along with it. Then I 'discovered' Linux. The bug really took a hold then. I've been infected ever since. I still concerd myself a newbie. Much to learn. But it's all been fun.

i was watching this movie on HBO and its called: Something The Lord Made.....

at the end of the movie one of the main characters said: "you have not lived long enough unless you have something to regret"

i am only 36 a middle age guy :eek: ....who likes his job, camping and computers its just a hobby....

one thing i will never regret was to know about linux, i started with red hat 8 and now look me and every one else here from before me....we just keep loving LINUX!

LINUX has many flavors just like us...different ages!

I've heard something about the very high standard of women in Split, Croatia. Well at least during the mid-90s anyway - care to comment?

(Oh and can you translate that joke into English in you sig please? ;))

[loyal_lin]

20...since 26/5

[jrblevin]

22...already past all the milestone birthdays, now I just get to count :)

[svizi]

21...and love it!

[Thoreau]

21 :)

pretty fun, can't wait to turn 25 though, so i can rent a car.

[Ug]

You can't do that already?

I can already rent a car, and I'm only 17.

[Thoreau]

nope, i've already tried.

[Ug]

Damn.

[ilja]

In Germany I think you also have to be 21 to rent a car. But maybe I am wrong.

[Ug]

Mind you - you do need a driver's licence. Which I haven't got yet - but my driving test is next Monday, so with any luck i'll be driving soon.

How much do you spend for a driver licence on the island?

[Ug]

You can't buy one here in the UK. You have to pass a very strict driving test, most people fail several times before passing. You also have to pass a theory test before you can apply to take the practical test.

The test itself is £39, but you also have to pay for your driving instructors time which is normally about £17 - £24 an hour. Its very expensive all in all to learn to drive.

[Ug]

Most people need about 35 hours to pass a driving test.

[ilja]

Ok, here it is also something about it, even cheaper (I think) You pay about 20€-26€ an hour for practical lessons. And you also have to make theory. I have my theoretical examination on friday.

Its a very well written book - but he puts the women in split down to it being a big mafia knocking shop.

Mind you, women from split have won the Miss Europe prize quite a lot, so there must be something in the water.

[savudin]

It's nice to see that somenoe wrote a book aboute war here and made some money on it. But I don't really like to talk aboute the war that has been here 8 years ago, especialy not aboute UN ( "blue helmets" we used to call them), it's horrible. This time has passed a long time ago, and now it's the time to make Croatia a true European country.

Now, back to the girls. :) I can see you have a wide range of interests ( computing, books, Miss Europe, History...), it's really great. You should really come here and put this knowledges into practice, especialy those aboute good looking girls :))) If you know what i mean :)

Is there really a mid-life crisis?

I guess you mean when older men get the sportscar, chase young girls...etc etc...
I don't know myself, I never went through that...I think it is often that men our age now can afford to get the things we wanted as young men. It is mistaken as an attempt to buy youth.
My brother went out and bought a Harley Davidson at 48 ( he also bought one for his wife). I kinda thought that was like a mid-life crisis thing?

Holy Crap! that's expensive. Now-a-days you have to take 2 classes. The first one is maybe 50$ for the 3-4 weeks, the 2nd one is...i'm not sure. The written test is included. So is the drivering test. I think the card is only, 20$ Then you get a different one on your 18th b-day, one where you can actually lawfully carry more then 1 passanger.


Good luck the both of you!!!

oh, I like that attitude !

[Prometheus]

Here in Michigan we got a 3 step process to getting a license (kinda like aa but for driving)... Get a lvl 1 where you need a parent or guardian in the front seat with you for 50 hours (dont know how many ppl actually do that though) then a lvl 2 where you can drive on your own but not between midnight and 5 am (dont know y exactly, but its the law) and then on your 17th bday you get an all out license and can drive whenever you want. Before the lvl 1 though you gotta pass a class and "range" test (basically you do circles in the parking lot, practice parking, and going in reverse). Its not too bad all told, though i think my sis (who is on her lvl 1 right now) may possibly be the worst driver Michigan has ever seen (and i've seen some bad ones)

As for midlife crises, oh yeah they exist. I seriously think every person between the age of 40 and 60 in Alpena is suffering a mid life crisis. It's amazing, all these "old" guys (notice the quotes, no harm ment to you 40-60 year olds) doing crazy things. I swear, in the summer there are more harleys and bikes around than there are cars. ITs amazing.

Good luck on your test Ug, hope you pass.

[imdeemvp]

i hope that one day we can do a LAN PARTY.....:D

There have been some studies that suggest that there is a hormone fluctuation in some men that can be roughly correlated to menopause in women and that some of symptoms do provide impetous for the stereotypical "male mid-life crisis."

There is also a second component in which (for both men and women) the person actually has to deal with the physical manifestations of the aging process. It simply becomes impossible to dance the whole night away whilst slugging down prodigious amounts of Jim Beam. (The next morning is even less glamorous than before...)

The third ingredient is the world-wide marketing strategy that's been prevalent ever since mass-marketing became a fact of life: younger, prettier == sexier

Throw all of that together and you start getting the sense that you've lost all that vim and vigor (plus not being "sexy" anymore) and that your life as you knew it is over. So the stereotype comes from men trying to recapture that feeling of youthfulness and regain that "sexy" edge - hence the Corvettes and young blondes.

I could go on about some palentological studies that suggest there's also an evolutionary pressure (spread that seed around to make MORE progeny), but that's left for future discourse.

(And, the unfortunate thing for me is I seem to be in the first category. yuck - I've had fun and this is not fun.)

[Ug]

I'm now going to try really hard and make this more than a one-liner. But I do feel very educated now about the ordeals of a mid-life crisis. Oh well, only 28 years until I get to that point. :D

[loyal_lin]

i couldn t imagine these ages

Originally posted by Ug

I hate to disabuse you of yet another notion, my lime-sucking friend, but I started having the symptoms when I was 41. The hormonal influences (if I remember the studies correctly) are not all that dependent upon physical age - there were quite a few factors, such as general health, and (supposedly) documented cases of men experiencing the hormonal changes as early as their mid-30's. The average was actually around 47/48, with the median being slightly higher (50ish?).

In other words, YMMV... :D

I can use windows well, prog apps etc, but software should be free, and every household has the right to view their files no matter what app used them. So i give my initial will to Linux development, hopefully i wont have to settle for making alot of money ****ing people over for some monoploy.

While I appreciate your optimisim, I'm afraid you'll find that the whole business world is like that, even those that "embrace" FOSS. Remember, a business is in business to make money - usually by any means possible.

HOWEVER, yes, it should be done legally and, if the business is supplying goods to consumers, they really should take into account the consumers' desires, not ram junk down their throat. Doesn't always happen - Microsoft just got caught, that's all.

It is not like that in the Server market, and it's also starting to change regarding the Desktop. And it'll change even more and faster with Longhorn and Palladium, don't you think?

[LackeyLad]

I think the higher you go in the user-knowledge chain less and less people stay with windows, but the U.S. i think is much more windows dependant than Europe. Perhaps I am on the wrong continent.

I'm not sure what to expect from Longhorn except that it will have added features that will take a little of the pazzaz out of using Linux.

In Germany I think you also have to be 21 to rent a car. But maybe I am wrong.
Same thing here in Norway...

What surprises me about the guys on the other side of the pond is that they are allowed to drive a potensial murderweapon (cars can be dangerous in the hands of someone unexperienced) from the age of 16, but you can't enjoy a drink before you are 21? Wierd stuff...

Anyway, that was a diversion... I'm 27 years old.

It gets better than that here in the US

You can drive at 16
In Tennesse, you can marry at 14
You can be tried as an Adult at 17
You can't vote for an Idiot Texan until 18
You can join military service at 18
You get to pay taxes at 18

But you can't drink until 21.
Also, you can't rent a hotel room or a car until 21

wierd, funny, ironic, silly, ludicris......

[peterskm]

31, soon to be 32...seems old to me, though many people tell me they wish they were this age again. :confused:

[bob]

58,... no .... 59...., no....what was the question again? :confused:

[Jman]

Interesting age distribution. Seems we're heavy on the mid 20s.

If you supplied a birthdate in your public profile, everyone can see it. Just click on someone's linked username. And the birthday calendar does the math for you, when that time rolls around again. ;)

[crackers]

You can't vote for an Idiot Texan until 18
Some of us didn't want him, either... but that's a different topic.

I think the distribution is just showing that the people with time and enthusiasm, which is most evident in the early- to mid-20's, are the people who "hang out" on forums like this one. And the occasional "old phart" who thinks that they should be 20-something...

"How the heck did I end up in this old body? I knew I was a bit smashed last night, but... What do you mean that was 20 years ago!?!?!?!?!"

[Ug]

The Poll was badly organised as well. The age categories are pretty wrong., making it harder to clearly see the results.

[TopDog]

You can be tried as an Adult at 17
Here it's from the age of 15...
You can join military service at 18
Here you have to join at 19/20 if you don't go to higher education or have bad health. If you take higher education you have to join after you graduate.... Eyery man here in Norway must serve at least one year in the royal forces.
You get to pay taxes at 18
Here you get to pay taxes at any age as long as you make money...

Not quite as old as the dirt my kids claim I am, but not young enough to quite keep up with all they do anymore :mad: I don't remember concrete being that hard when I was their age............ 42

[grnchile]

Another mountain bike induced rotator cuff injury, eh? You would think that we'd know better at our age. I have noticed that the ground is a lot harder than when I was a teen (I'm 51 now), but it's difficult to remember in the thrill of the moment.

I hope it's not too serious. Physical therapy really helped mine once I got past the stage of not wanting to move it...

Got to love those range of motions from hell exersises. Nothing so serious that I won't try something equally smart as soon as I forget this happened.

I rented a car in germany when I was 20 and had no problems.

How much do you spend for a driver licence on the island?

Pretty much the same system as Ireland, so by german standards it's basically free! Apply for a provisional licence (learners permit) at 17, costs around €60. Apply for a test and when you pass you get a licence - that costs about €40. Not bad when you consider that it costs nearly €3000 in germany and they don't let you loose really until you have it finished!

I've been using computers since the days of punched tape, when you'd send a set of code sheets off to be punched up and get the results of the job the next day. I've coded in machine language, COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, C, C++, and now I'm just a hobby user. Maybe I am old, after all.

The best part about it all is the wide range of ages we have here, and that we are all here together because of one thing...Linux! It's amazing at how things can bring people together.

21 and i miss my 16ish years :P
Almost 40 here and I miss being 21 :p

[BandC]

27 here...

[owakroeger]

62 tomorrow. Interesting that anything over 49 is old. That's all relative. As a teen, anything over 20 was old. The older we get, the younger everyone else seems to be. I like what linuxmad just said about learning. When I decide not to learn something new using my age as the reason, it'll be time to cash it in, I think. Learning something new keeps me young. Well, er, sorta. If you stop looking for the horizon, there will be no horizon.

36 next month

[killaweegee]

Hey now 62 is not old. I'll be 21 this month and I think it's great that we have such an age difference on the forum. When you get to where you can't do things for yourself then you can say your getting old, but until then keep on trucking :-)

[Sneltrekker]

I'm 20 ... nice age ^^

[awdac]

Wow, I can't believe that the mean age is so youthful...
Hmmm. Maybe the future is Linux...;)

[Sneltrekker]

of course the future is linux ... no doubt ^^

[t3gah]

i'll be 43 this year.

[ltam]

40 but feels a lot like 28. Interesting how I'm in the smallest group. Glad to see the majority are the youngsters. There is hope for the world of computing afterall.

;)

If this thread keeps on going, I'm going to have to change categories! Jeez!

[Seandq]

I am 12. Beat that.

[Seandq]

NOT fare! :(
I am 14 therefore I was unable to cast a poll...

I can't belive I'm the youngest one here.....and yes all I friends use Windows.....I am the only smart one :p
BTW< I am currently in the process of convincing 2 people to get a clue..it is kindof hard....
You're NOT the youngest one here.

[jadams]

I must say that I am suprised. I am a recent convert to Linux, and it so much reminds me of my old days with TRS-80's, TRS DOS, MS DOS, etc. I really thought that younger generations would be thoroughly turned off by the archaic nature of "typing" ;)

[Seandq]

Nah, we're more turned off to spyware and exploitation for $$. Trust me, the only ancient thing I could state is that I used 'Mozilla Phoenix'.

[Woad_Warrior]

damn............
i can't believe how the poll has changed since i first posted in it. (back one page 1) the forums filled with little kids! ! ! (hehehee) Seandq, isn't it past your bedtime? (you're showing as being online at 11:42 pm est. course i suppose you might be in a time zone where it's morning, but then you should be in school. lol just kidding. it's good to see the wide range of linux users in here. (BTW sean, you're the same age as my son.)

Bedtime? What's that? Nah, actually I'm up late due to caffiene [Mt. Dew] buzz and a school project.

[crackers]

Man, the only buzz I had when I was 12 was a haircut!

[Zigzagcom]

:)
I'd like to think that I'm getting better with age, oh well....but at 47 one starts to wonder.
Just thinking...I was born 'last century' and back then was wondering about the year 2000. We live like kings and queens, look at all the wonderful science and discoveries (Mars & Saturn), and lets not forget the toys, like FC3. Whenever I get down a bit, I remind myself
how well off many of us are. Making it last is the hard part. :cool:

[dave1918]

44 but all my friends say i look 54 nice!

[Ug]

Dear god. This thread is still alive!?!! I remember posting in this yonks ago!

In Hexadecimal: 29
In Binary: 101001

[Firewing1]
