| I am working on a new security program because individuals cannot keep their passwords to themselves. This allows all kinds of riff raff in to the net. I ask simple questions to establish a rough estimate of the individuals IQ. We found that we could keep out 99% of the undesirables by setting the cutoff to approximate the intelligence of a garden snail.JimUsers <> Logic |

Damn, you could make a fortune selling that to the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicles driver's license department. They could easily compensate for the lost revenue from not issuing licenses by charging $1.00 each time someone takes the written test. Hell, they'd QUADRUPLE their revenue at that rate.  |

| Hey Kristen, That would explain a lot - maybe they think I already chargeSpirit - We don't need a special button our app alows that already!How about a big red button that says PANIC and when you press it the machine shuts down stevesteveAnd how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. |
