Comment on Celebrating the ordinary by Eager Reader

Celebrating the ordinary exploits the frailty of human perception in one more subtle way: it sabotages deserved celebrations by drowning them in the mass. People will have difficulties in keeping both kinds of celebrations apart, they might stop attending the deserved ones and might even get so confused that they start snubbing them. A brilliant move!

Comment on Statistical significance by Maggie

But this completely ignores the bias due to the fact that (a) people who feel strongly about the issue or who have time to reply or believe in the concept of polling will actually reply and (b) polling inevitably reaches only certain areas or groups of people. Personally I hate it when I see polls quote a “3 percent margin of error”. That may be statistically correct according to Poisson statistics, but it is still complete B.S. to use that poll for policy making. All it means is that they polled 1000 people–who could be all from a Republican district, or all living in suburbia, or all in some way NOT representative of the population as a whole.

A simple way to create a password that is reasonably secure is to take the name of a book that one can remember, use the first letter of the name (upper &/or lower case), add the last two digits of the year of publication, then the initials of the author (upper &/or lower case).

Surely Y2K is a prime example of this.
And, how about the USofA penchant for allowing only one middle initial in most of the forms?
