Must be passed around: know several with minimal formal math but insightful-wired jelloware ..and virtuoso BS-detectors. (Will also bet that they will see the elegance of this koan--as do I--as a fine rebuttal to the pecksniffery oft imposed from on-high, not only in bizness hierarchies. Our culture creates entirely too-many autodidacts who imagine that their one skill-set will suffice for all decisions.) Carrion.. sometimes it's tasty ;^>

WHEN then , do the 1%? 0.1%? Smart People begin rolling out this System--not just makin Attagirl sounds--as for a jillion other CleverLad gifts to the zeitgeist? A worldwide military budget on a crash-diet could fund such simple matters instantly. (Except that nobody yet has an inkling of the cure for Sabre-rattling-Fever.. eg. Exhibit #1: any excrescences with the word Iran embedded somewhere.

(Also I note they bump up against one of my pet hates about idiotic password controls: other than a very generous length (like over 100), you should accept _any_ character a user can post as a password. Including spaces, accented characters, obscure mathematical symbols or Chinese glyphs.) Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
