Wow, the questionnaire is really inane. Witness section A-d): socio-economic status, with just one question:
d) Socio-economic status:
1) What is your socio-economic status?
Low
Average-Low
Average-High
High
I'm sure most "hackers" will answer this one honestly. Then one day you see in a newspaper a heading like: "85% of hackers come from a high socio-economic background" and you wonder how did they come to that conclusion.
Every few months I like to be reminded why I stopped reading newspapers and now get my tech news from specialized places like LWN.
