Mathematics

In his elegant book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten , Robert Fulghum teaches us many golden rules that we can extrapolate into the sophisticated adult world. Very true.

An idea for a browser anti-phish feature

Here's a somewhat naive idea for a browser anti-phish feature thatmight actually work, at least until phish spammers started gettingreally creative in various ways, sparked by yesterday's entry .
