Nice troll you got going there. Real nice.

Anyone else notice that the submitter is called 'cryptoz', or that his linked website, http://www.sheehy.ca/crypto/, is called "The Cryptography Center"?

Also the little matter of his website's description saying "This website is designed as a location for as many cryptography resources as possible. The intent is to collect a large number of articles for those who are interested in learning more, practical computer applications to download, lists of other resources, and an open forum for discussion on cryptographic techniques. As well, I hope this website will be a new home for those interested in the science of keeping secrets."

Am I the only one who thinks that this is someone looking to pick the brains of millions of nerds in order to populate their website? You really need to encrypt "30GiB"? Yeah, my arse you do matey.

it's funny 'cause it's not the first post. heh.
The Cryptography Center

What a horrible way to organize information...like seriously, it's obvious that the website was designed with getting ad revenue as the first order of business. I can barely read through it to get to the content that I want. Ugh.

The Cryptography Center

So, someone makes a new web page with a bunch of google tips, and it's news? Like, sure, this is a fantastic page to know about, but it seriously does not qualify for news.

Could someone tell me why? They can't have the epicness of movies, or the interactivity of games, or the story of books. Not meant as a troll, I just want to know why. [ Reply to This ] Owly rocks!

(Score:1) by cryptoz (878581) on Friday May 06, @07:42PM (#12458504) (http://www.sheehy.ca/crypto/forum) So I wonder if the comic books being given away are worth anything, anything at all? That is, are they just the ones you can buy anywhere for a few cents? And why not free as in speech, too? I'd be much happier that way... Well, I live in Canada, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway. There should be an effort to turn this into an international event, rather that just an American one...

Those were some of the greatest stories, and I have to say that unfortunately, they have shaped the way I deal with computers that are completely hosed. Someone brings me a computer... I don't know why this is so slow! So what do I do? Realize there's some spyware or something, because they use Windows... And then blow everything off the system, write zeroes all over the hard drive, and reinstall from scratch using my custom install disc that produces a "proper" Windows installation, if you can call Windows proper at all. Of course, I have a bit of a soft spot, so I back up their data files first. "Nationwide"? For what values of 'nation'?
