    Keep 6 months worth of your salery in a savings account. Never touch it until you get the sack

    Do you have any idea what kind of money you would have now if you had put that 6 months salery into, say, the S&P500 15 years ago?

    Just because you are on the Internet and dont want your mail read as it goes through the various servers people think you are hiding something.

    Not to disagree with your point, but you are hiding something. If encrypting something did not hide the contents, why would anyone do it?

    I believe that I agree with your stance, though. There's nothing wrong with hiding stuff.

  9. komodo on Linux IDE For Web Developers? · · Score: 2
    I didn't see anyone else mention it, so I will. komodo from active state is still really beta, but it may be heading in hte direction you want.

    Should the government step in? Should academia step in, by way of government funds?

    I sure hope not the US government. You see, I don't believe that that is the purpose of the federal government. I seem to recall someting about:

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

    Now when I ask for my refund on windows, won't it be easy to verify that I've never used that installation and am entitled to the refund? Or perhaps it's already activated by the OEM when they installed windows.

    ...keeping a fleet of shuttles in existance which were built before the pilots were born.

    The first shuttle was built in 1976. That would make it about 25 years old. The ones flying now are a bit younger and are updated dramaticly between each mission.

    I haven't been able to find a shuttle pilot in their 20's. Most are about 35 or 40, it seems. Which ones are you referring to as being younger than the shuttles they fly?

    I agree wholeheartedly. We should make a thereal.slashdot.org and put stuff like this on there. Then you and I could read it. We would keep stuff like this off of slashdot.org and just put stuff that we wanted the media to pick up on there. That way we could get the real stuff and they would only be able to see the stuff that you think is necessary to tell them. I hope they don't catch on and start reading thereal.slashdot.org!

  25. Re:Questionable science in questionable environeme on Science Fair Exhibits: Fair Game For Censorship · · Score: 2
    This hardly seems statistically enough to infer what she inferred so I wouldn't call it a complete science project.

    This stands apart from most science fair projects I have heard of because she had a sample of data and she attempted to draw conclusions from it. This was a valid attempt at using what kids are taught as the "scientific method". It sounds to me like it was a pretty good elementary science experiment for an elementary school student.

    I would rather see this experiment than the demonstration of a vinegar and baking soda volcano any day.
