Smarter password security

Do you save the answers in a security question to a file in your computer? How secure do you think this practice is? When you answer a typical security question, such as what was your first teacher's name, do you check to see if you have already put that information somewhere on your blog, MySpace or Facebook profile? I'm also curious about people's attitudes towards hacking. If someone was hacking into your account but was inflicting a very small, almost insignificant and undetectable damage/change to your privacy, data or financial statement would you rather know about it or not?

To give you an example, suppose the hacker changed one of your 30 or so interests you listed on one of your many profile pages from sailing into rowing, would you really bother to spend the time and effort to improve your security or would you rather let the incident go unanswered until a more serious intrusion happened?

I'm sure people would want to know if a big intrusion occurred but what about a very small one?

Paintball the answer to school shootings?

After the recent shootings in Germany must schools everywhere introduce paintball games as part of the curriculum to allow deranged, depressed or mentally unstable students to release their anger and rage? Teachers will participate and measure student anger from the amount of paint drawn on them. The guns will have detectors to measure the intensity with which a trigger is pressed and once the data is collected look for patterns that reveal anger. One more thought. Europeans claim America is a very violent society and gun ownership is the problem. I let the incident answer the claim. Last time I checked no one reported it was red paint that killed those innocent German students...
