Mr. Wales: After looking over the Nupedia site, it seems that only those persons with post-graduate degrees in a specific field are considered 'acceptable' contributors for information in that field. Is this true, or have I somehow misinterpreted your requirements? I realize it's a stretch, but it begs the question: Does this imply that you will not include information for which there is no accredited degree program? Was'up wif dat?
Because you have to have an advanced degree before you CAN contribute. It's interesting to note that all of the Nupedia advocates posting here have evaded this question, rather than just admit it.
Great. I can't wait until the TEMPEST guys start using this technology. Y'know, the nutballs in the tinfoil hats who think that aliens are reading their thoughts *might* not be as nutty as I thought...
I've been salaried most of my career, and just recently started hourly contracting. So there's really three options here, which are being intermingled: salaried employee, hourly employee, and hourly contract. I'll never go back to being an employee, because (a) I have a contract, which means I can't get sacked because the PHB has a bad hair day, and (b) the "benefits" typically given by an employer have never "benefitted" me in the slightest.

Right arm, brother!
Thanks, oh spineless coward, for finally explaining why Windows is superior to Linux...
