I never smoked, ever. But, it seems to me you need some pleasant event to unwind in the evening. So, how about a nice piece of cheese. Or a movie.

My observation is that when I talked to friends about my amazing ideas, they are invariably less passionate about them than me. So, be prepared for lukewarm reception. Or worse, 'devils advocates', etc. You might even be more susc

"She left", and lose. Left is particularly jarring, because everything else about your post is perfect. I would have bet $$$ you were a native speaker if it wasn't for this. English sucks at irregular verbs - sorry!

I used to work on software purchased by the DoD, and the amount of access control, logging, auditing, and other related security features required to fulfill the requirements was astounding. I totally agree with you that the apparent openne

This reminds me of the interesting security implementation in Netscape Calendar. Among the interesting security practices: - the server sends the (obscured) password to the client, so the client can check it - if you want to look at another
