Cryptography, the art of Security

"If I take a letter, lock it in a safe, hide the safe somewhere in New York, then tell you to read the letter, that's not security. That's obscurity. On the other hand, if I take a letter and lock it in a safe, and then give you the safe along with the design specifications of the safe and a hundred identical safes with their combinations so that you and the world's best safecrackers can study the locking mechanism --- and you still can't open the safe and read the letter --- that's security."

UNIX, (cause I'm slow at clicking invisible things!)

"UNIX was unique, is unique, will be ..."
"UNIX is an operating system that ..."
"man UNIX"
"ls -al UNIX"

PERL, cause it's nice scripting with it

"PERL is a language for getting your job done."
"...PERL is designed to make the easy jobs easy, without making the hard jobs impossible."
"...PERL is a glue language..."

Datamining, (cause my research lab is of 'datamining'?!)

"Imagine yourself as a navigator out in the ocean. You are surrounded by islands, and you can see hundreds of lighthouses marking ports and towns. What's worth sailing over to? What's going to be interesting and what's going to be useful? You need to have charts, guidebooks, and the right equipment, or getting there will be hard --- and when you arrive, there may be nothing there worth having landed for."

Football, cause use to play football in moonlight also

"If 'Football' is 'Football', 'Basketball' should be 'Handball'"
"...it was GOD's hand....."

CHESS, childhood-passion

REPORTER: "How did you beat the computer?"
MAN: "Instict, I guess"

REPORTER: "How did you beat the man?"
COMPUTER: "Calculation, I'm sure"

BOOKS, you can't live without them

"Robert Cohn was once a middleweight boxing champion of Princeton. Do not think that I am very much impressed by that as a boxing title, but it meant a lot to Cohn. He cared for nothing for boxing, in fact he disliked it, but he learned it painfully and thoroughly to..."

"Don Vito Corleone was a man to whom everybody came for help, and never were they disappointed. He made no empty promises, nor the craven excuse that his hands were tied by more powerful forces in the world than himself. It was not necessary that he be your friend, it was not even important that you had no means with which to repay him. Only one thing was required. That you, you yourself, proclaim your friendship. And then, no matter how poor or powerless the supplicant, Don Corleone would take that man's troubles to his heart. And he would let nothing stand in the way to a solution of that man's woe. His reward? Friendship, the respectful title of "Don", and sometimes the more affectionate salutation of "Godfather."

"It's bussiness, don't take it personally."

"...It's all personal, every bit of business, Every piece of shit every man has to eat everyday of his life is personal. They call it business. OK. But it's personal as hell. You know where I learned that from? The Don. My old man. The Godfather. If a bolt of lightning hit a friend of his, the old man would take it personal. He took my going into the Marines personal. That's what makes him great. The Great Don. He takes everything persona. Like God. He knows every feather that falls from the tail of a sparrow or however the hell it goes. Right? And you know something? Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a peronal insult......."

By the way, here's some question I just got in my head while I was cooking my dinner --- 'fish-curry':
  • Do you know how long a fish can live?
  • Have you ever seen a fish that died out of 'old-age'?
You might take a look at the Fish Faq !
