What is best source (currently in print) of well researched urban legends related to the Bible & Christianity?

We Answered:

While this is not a book, that particular urban legend is debunked quite thoroughly by Snopes.com.

The sources listed at the bottom of the page include two books that claim the story is true, and two that prove it is false. You may want to start with one of those two for what you are looking for.

Starting a new career and need advice.?

We Answered:

I'm 58 and started over 4 years ago in Computer Forensics. If you're in a large metropolitian area(Dallas, New York, Atlanta, etc) you can expect to charge $150 to 500 per hour, depending on your certifications. It can easily take 2-4 years for your business to build up; or you can go to work for any number of large corporations that have their own in house forensics departments. I started with networking and then went into forensics. You really need to know the operating system, primarily windows, and don't mind sitting in a small room for hours reviewing recovered documents, computer settings and nasty e-mail (keep thinking what they are paying you) There are also alot of law enforcement opportunities. And it's not rocket science, just a very good understanding of how the OS, applications, and hardware interact. Take a look at Southeast Cybercrime Institute. Programming is math intensive and repairmen are a dime a dozen. Good Luck

I could really use some professional advice. I need to make an educational/career decision.?

There are two sides to the coin here.
1) hardware
2) software

If you prefer to be a hands on hardware and pcrepair are best, but you found this subject matter to be difficult - soo...

Web design is plentiful, however diferent languages may be required - common ones are ColdFusion, Java, and C#

Based on your interests I'd say web design.

I got my degree in computer science from the university of illinois - Online (http://www.uis.edu)
It was completely online and becasue it was online - it was cheaper than attending the local university - not to mention time flexibile (there are no you must be in calss tue/thurs from 10-1pm when the rest of the world is at work)

You can go all the way through a masters online with the univiersity as well.

I don't know your finances - but it might be better than what you are getting locally.

If you have questions and want to bounce ideas back and forth to me via email that's fine.

I used to do tech support for microsoft - and realised that hardware and networking support issues were not for me and went into programming. I've been professionally programming for over 5 years now.

I wish you the best of luck
