In times of Weimar prosperity, more people should curl up with a copy of Ben Graham's '29-crash postmortem "Intelligent Investor", IMHO. I can't help but suspect that these barbershop customers will someday regret

Password safe utilities seems to be growing too complex, IMHO. Vim's blowfish encryption is a straightforward alternative and the editor seems easy enough to install anywhere it's needed. There are other standalone command line

Suggestion: Follow the OpenBSD project's lead and end this debate with blanket adoption of CVS. Also, a "Comic Sans" website makeover would severely cut down on the golang community's hipster ratio.

I was present for training at Informix headquarters in Menlo Park when it was announced that IBM purchased the company (I believe around 1999 and 2000). I can still recall the deathly pallor of the trainer as well as the shocked silence of
