Eve's pi page
Someone geeking out on the internet in the mid-late '90s had to eventually run across Eve's Pi page at Caltech. I'm not sure if the Caltech page is still alive, but it is somewhat recreated on her own domain. Very geeky, very woman.
Oh, and she's much hotter than that Paris thing. -

Re:Central planning falacy. All "jobs" not equal.
Many people work their entire lives in their profession and never earn more than $45k/year.
Yes, but the people refered to in the grandparent post are lucky to be making $20,000.00 a year, and I personally know many highly skilled, highlty educated folk who would love to get a $45,000.00 a year job.
It was the assholes who were being payed the six figure salary (and those who were paying them) that spoiled the pot in this case and attracted the "money set" to tech jobs in the first place, often replacing those who have the aptitude and the nknow-how with those who have the connections.
It wasn't the techies who were coming up with the asininely stupid "get-rich-quick" business plans in the first place, but they sure are the ones paying for it now. Case in point, ArsDigita, a company that was profitable from the start, but failed after the venture capitalists came in to "help". I'm sure that there's otheer examples of how the business community screwed promising young companies out of a future, but this one is a prime example of how the venture-capital scam was not a crime on the part of the techies, but rather on the part of a business culture that wanted "in" on this "internet thing" when they had very little understanding of how any of it works and even less interest in what the implications of the internet are for businesses who wish to ply thier trade there.
