- I've heard bad things about the New York educational system in the past, but
- didn't think it was this bad. (C'mon, "triad," then a list of four items?) :-)

- Obviously Caltech doesn't do addition. ANd I even arranged them of

- Hmmm. I'd've thought that the integrity aspect would be the better known (at
- least among computer users and managers);
-
- No, I would argue that Integrity is often MORE IMPORTANT in commerical
- sites and especially educational ones, but it has been my experience
- that even computer literate folks -- if they are not security literate
- as well -- tend to think of the badges and guns first. They do not
- recognize that all the elements are related to each other.
