| 1 | The world of computers and the net is evolving just a leeeettle bit faster than Merriam Webster can keep up with, folks. | When you hear the word "hacker" (as relates to computers), what do you think of? |
| 2 | I was really hoping this wasn't you, bill.  I would never ever come back again. My abhorrence of rampant commercialism on the net would supercede my addiction to SC. | If an advertisement banner was added to the top of Survey Central, how would you feel about it? |
| 3 | Everyone seems to concur that more and more people are becoming obese. Does anyone actually have any stats to back this up, or is it just a presumption? | Do you feel that stretch clothing is what's causing obesity to go up? |
| 4 | Any reason to believe that obesity is currently going up? | Do you feel that stretch clothing is what's causing obesity to go up? |
| 5 | This survey badly needed an "other" category. And needed to be spell-checked as well. I was an artistic type, same as when this question was last asked. | When you went to school what group of people were you in? |
| 6 | Mainly indifferent. Unless it was a major PDA, in which case I'd think it was a bit inappropriate. If I saw it around where I live now I'd be surprised. | How do you feel when you see a same sex couple kiss? |
| 7 | gilly: I would beg to difer about that. You just said you were offended by something I said on the cubes survey; my comment was neither clueless nor intended to offend. I'd say you were pretty easily offended there. | Would you consider yourself "easily offended"? |
| 8 | Other: no. | What is your salary? |
| 9 | Wicksy: actually, looking on the advanced stats page can sometimes give one a good idea as to who voted how. On this survey, there are currently 8 categories which received only one vote. Someone who had been at SC a while and knew many users' age and sex might make a reasonable guess as to the single voters' identy. It's even more likely if you know users' actual birthdates, since the age information is very specific. On surveys such as this one, which list very specific ranges from which to choose, as well as on surveys that are new and haven't had many voters yet, I refrain from voting if I am uncomfortable with revealing my answer. Bill: how about using the term "cracker" to denote people who break into systems to steal data? | What is your salary? |
| 10 | hillbilly: dearest, "cracker" is already in use as the proper term to denote a hacker who's up to no good. Hackers are simply folks interested in exploring the limits of what a computer can do. The media has misused this term willfully for years. | What is your salary? |
