Anybody with "research access" to an MRI (and especially fMRI) feels justified publishing findings of n=1 studies because their tool is so rare and unique.
Newsflash: every strip mall in America has an MRI, and most hospitals have 3T these days, get over yourselves and go back to doing real science. n=1 is for birdwatchers, not developmental physiology.
Yeah, tabs work really great in two pages of example code. Expand that out to a couple of years worth of code over thousands of pages and see how great your tabs look when opened in anything other than EXACTLY the same editor you wrote it in.
If you're spending time fixing your tabs so they are portable between editors, I think your employer is not getting your brain-cycles focused on the things they care about most.
Fixed space fonts, spaces not tabs (and block-column selection / copy / paste) is more productive, unless the source code is the actual product, like in a textbook.
You weren't thinking about getting on my lawn, were you?
So, if you have high turnover rate, will you be telling that to prospective employees, or will you make up some BS about personal reasons, trailing spouse, etc.?
I overheard a conversation in a restaurant today that included "the kernel is a mix of custom C++ and JavaScript, it's really gnarly stuff..." if I heard that at a company I was considering working for, I think I'd run the opposite direction, quickly.
My D-Link gear didn't degrade slowly, it started out of the package new running very hot, and failed altogether within 6 months. I tried them twice (different models) - no more for me.
Or, there's another explanation. I've had a number of wireless routers for several years, some over 5, and in my applications, they do not degrade performance over time.
In fact, I happened to have my laptop in a corner of my backyard that I hadn't taken it to before (well over 300' from the router which is inside, with several walls in-between), and was surprised to see full wi-fi signal strength from my 3 year old 802.11n router paired with my 3 year old laptop.
My neighborhood is fairly sparse with WiFi signals, I can only see 3 or 4 neighbor's SSID broadcasts at any given time - if you're in a higher density region, I imagine that is not the case.
Also check out CryptoCat (no affiliation), and StegaMail (affiliated), or just roll your own and wrap it in a couple of more common layers of trusted security such as PGP, etc.
Hushmail is still going, for anyone who wants to trust a service that can be cracked by court order.
Actually, in theory, point to point encryption can also be cracked by court order - but if you are the putative holder of the secret key, you get the option to reveal it or go to jail.

Kind of Frank Lloyd Wrightesque... not my impression of a ship for rough seas.
Hello, this it Target calling, did you know your teenage daughter is pregnant?
It's like the Library of Congress stuffed floor to ceiling with Service Manuals?

Have you forgotten the golden rule? They have the gold, you want the gold, they make the rules.

We were playing back 44.1KHz WAV files using a 68HC11 a big PROM chip and a DAC, probably before you were born.... Now get off my lawn!

Your Logical Fallacy is genetic.
