...Thank God I go to Harvard. A recent study conducted at Duke University found that its female students believe intellectual assertiveness and leadership make them unattractive in the eyes of their male peers.

...alternative to the typical Friday night, join the GBBCC for their “Thank Buddha It’s Friday” meditation and dinner (yes, the bark in the soup is edible—and healing to boot), held on the second and fourth Fridays of the month at 6:30 p.m. (suggested donation $5).

An entrepreneur who sold his search-engine business to Amazon.com Kahle now runs the Internet Archive, a nonprofit that collects and stores a vast library of defunct Web pages. He buys his Internet access wholesale from a local company at the bargain rate of $30 per megabit per month. The archive needs many thousands of megabits to do its job, and Kahle considers the amount of bandwidth that Pozar's San Bruno antenna requires--which costs Kahle less...
