I hope you don't think you are in the majority. Most people don't even have jobs that have anything to do with their degree.
I know a few in the UK... they took degrees that are worthless, or 'soft', or both... Media Studies for example - what bloody use is that! Hey, we're even getting degrees in things like Football Management coming alone now!
We're living in a time where the government thinks that a better educated society is one in which any dumb ass can get a degree - and, they're right these days - dumb asses *can* now go to college, and get a degree - but it still doesn't change them from being dumb asses. No wonder then that there are more and more 'shelf fillers' with degrees these days!
Being an Oxford Univ. 'bod', we have plenty of Sirs around the place - usually, these are awarded to those making significant contributions (note the plural) in their chosen field. Of course, it's normal for Sirs here to also have the title Professor - as they're usually the only ones with the time and resources (and RSs!) to get enough done to warrant a knighthood! However, Prof. And Sir fade away into meaninglessness when compared to another title that's to be (rarely) found here - Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS); it carries more weight here than anything else!
LOL - this is why I'm glad I live in the UK - coz, to go anywhere from here, you're typically either A) over the Atlantic Ocean (hard to find a mast, let alone a signal), or crossing international borders like they're going out of fashion: the latter means that your phone won't work; as most of the peoples of 'Yorp' (American for 'Europe') actually hate one another!
Of course, there's another cure - like the old 'smoking section', let the mobile users all annoy one another by hearding them into an annoying twat section.
'Hello sir, would you like the quiet zone, or the annoying twat section?'
BTW, having just downloaded and tried 'Security Task Manager' (looks 'ok'), I note that it labels svchost entries universally as harmless - however, I regularly check what's running in those using tasklist/M/FI "IMAGENAME eq svchost.exe" - so, have I missed something in Security Task Manager?
Do any of those tell you when something's changed - added itself etc?
I tried different utilities, but I always come back to StartUpMonitor. I just wish the source were available - it bugs me that when I refuse an app autostart permission, that I can't say 'and never let it do so in the future - AND, stop asking me about it!'

I fear that the bullet would go straight through - when referring to a void, it's hard to strike anything vital.

Years ago there was a tv (on the BBC) series in which Peter Ustinov 'explored' Einstein's theories, and blackholes.
For years since I've been trying to find out whether or not anyone else remembers this, or knows where a copy of the series might be found.
Oh yes, and he had a much better film of this effect and it was motorcycle based too!

Personally, I'm a bit disappointed with the rather meagre commenting and suspect stuff like parenthesizing return statements.
Wot - it's have to get down the modem cable first - and even then, it'd need a URL!

Don't you mean 'infinity' rather than 'by quite a margin' - if it's really 'free' that is?

Damn right! Although Danny's there - which is a nod in the right direction - and that (link) article mentions Feynman.
