    The open source implementation, Rietveld [ http://code.google.com/p/rietveld ], sounds very interesting. Perhaps it could be used in programming classes and might also fit in with …

    I do like the idea of encrypting user names across the wire, but "to maintain a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) and file it with the state of Massachusetts" goes way too f…

    Scott Adam's syllogistic analysis is only true if his items form an exhaustive set of possibilities. One thing time does tell us about human nature is that it is easy to overlook c…

    For easy reference, this article points to the book, Graphics Gems (Hardcover) by Andrew S. Glassner (Editor) 1990. There are no Amazon reviews for it at http://www.amazon.com/Grap…
