That's also a good idea, for Accessibility or for those with JS turned off. Personally, I code everything as though JS didn't exist, and then add all that extra functionality on top. In AJAX, I go so far as to simply send back a stripped down version of the page from the server, with its MIME type set to text/xml, parse it and update the AJAX-enabled page accordingly. Saves time and extra work of making up a new XML schema, and also makes life easier if you use Struts. It's as simple as mapping a page to itself.
Most Americans are not computer professionals or even computer enthusiasts. They wouldn't know what to do about Internet security, and are too busy with other things to learn. From the results, it seems to me that most Americans either believe or hope that tech companies will make their machines safer, and that the government can do something to deter malicious security breaches, soon.
It would be nice to believe that everyone has the time and ability to learn the intricacies of networked computing, but it's impractical. At least this survey does show that most Americans seem to want something done about security, and are not entirely as apathetic as they may be towards other subjects.
Say a virus somehow finds its way into your computer after you've worked hard to secure your system, and you've shelled out cash for anti-virus/firewall software.
The virus does damage to your computer, erases information, etc., and then continues to propogate using your exploited computer. Your investment in security has failed, you have to pay the necessary costs to repair the damage and restore your records, AND you have to pay a fine.
In fact, since most virii are self-propogating these days, EVERYONE who woudl claim damages must also pay fines. Now think of it on the corporate scale...
The person who wrote about this was Paul Lafargue, a French philosopher in the late 1800s. He was the son-in-law of Karl Marx. Check out The Right to Be Lazy.
I really wish the Commercial Solutions whose costs he estimated for his comparison were listed. For all I can tell, the prices could be totally arbitrary. This takes alot of the impact away from such a comparison. I definitely wouldn't show it to management and expect a response in my favor.
Did you ever take into account that both could be correct? All religions carry common roots. Hinduism can be linked to Norse and Celtic religions easily. A chain leading from Astarte to Easter is not so unlikely.
Fish scribblings and a Christian-style burial do little to prove the existence of Jesus, merely a cult who may have adopted his story.
You cannot deny the parallelism between the story of Jesus and the earlier sun gods detailed in that article. If there were a Jesus Christ, the Christian Bible is by no means an accurate account of his life.

I think you over-estimate what Americans will settle for... Cheap beer and whatever's on TV.

Why didn't they just go to the Flea Market or the local Community College trash bin? That's where I find all my obsolete equipment...

I find it laughable that you take the least of the arguments and proclaim it as a discredit to the entire paper, with a dictionary entry.
Also, that you paid so little attention to the article to miss that the writer is a SHE, not a HE, and she is a well respected scholar.
Let's see a good argument, from someone who at minimum holds a PhD, as the author of that article does.
I appreciate the examples you have cited to support the statements you have made.
I would like to direct you to my favorite article concerning the origin of the Christian Church: The Origins of Christianity
It was trying to hide itself in my trunk, I swear...
