money policy is responsible. The declining dollar makes foreign stuff more expensive. Domestic stuff is cheaper.

So nevermind all the fear around the declining dollar that we get from the right wing. There's downsides AND upsides. You implement the policy with the combination that you need at that moment. And right now, we need a relatively weaker dollar and all the jobs that will come back home as a result.

Actually Applied Cryptography should give you the false feeling of security which will undoubtedly bite you in the ass when your system is tested in a real-world security environment.

It's not that the information is bad. It's not, the book is excellent. It's just that so many people are completely incapable of judging their own competence and will make stupid newbie mistakes even when they are guided by the most excellent of resources and advice.

Go ahead and read Applied Cryptography. Go ahead and implement your application. But don't think for a second that you're smart. Don't think that your app doesn't have a million holes in it. It does, and it will go down when right at the worst moment.

However, none of this should stop you from trying to be better. It's just the nature of the game that you have decided to play.

Qi is the most useful word to know in scrabble. It lets you get rid of the Q's. So you are saying that the Illuminati, Qi Gong, and Scrabble are somehow intertwined into a vast conspiracy? Andrea Merkel is using letters printed on tiny pieces of plastic to enslave me?
