>>>>The problem with shuttle tourisim is that the launches get scrubbed so often, your odds of actually getting to see it aren't good if you don't live in the area.
Good point!
My brother in law spent like $5,000 to go there and had nothing to show for it after a recent launch being scrubbed.
>>>First paragraph: "each author brings their own unique insights" should be "each author brings his or her own unique insights."
that is being picky.
>>>Fourth paragraph: "in defense to how security is often perceived" should be "in defense against how security is often perceived."
also picky.
>>>>Sixth paragraph: "online-advertising" should be "online advertising."
Picky
>>>Eighth paragraph: "Chapter 7 is about the PGP" should be "Chapter 7 is about PGP."
At last, a REAL error.
>>>In "web of trust model, and recent enhancements bring PGP's web of trust up to date" the comma should be removed and "bring" should be changed to "bringing."
Picky
>>>Tenth paragraph: "a fascinating an enjoyable read" should be "a fascinating and enjoyable read."
wow, a real mistake!
>>>Eleventh paragraph: In "It is a good book for those whose who think information security" the word "whose" should be removed.
Slashdot Mirror
ok, now I get it.
thanks for the clarification.
Very good point.
Beyond funny!
insensitive clod is redundant.
Look, the world is a big place. You can't have every country represented and get 128 places. Something has to give.
I guess I was kinder... I said last 100 years.
Ancient Africa contributed a lot.

All of the 128 places are listed at http://www.geekatlas.com/page/places-1
Wonder no more!
What is your point with such a comment?
All is forgiven!
At last.... thanks.

>>>There you go :)
thanks.
Oh, one last thing, this is /.
No one is that picky.
But am glad we have people like you.

I DO CARE!!!
That is why I am making my sixth request of you to please tell me.
Rather than a cat and mouse game here, can't you give me but two of the grammatical errors?
Please! Please!!!
You sez he made errers, but u refuze to tellus what they be.
Sorry...obviously what?
I felt you did not explain yourself.
I am still waiting for the specific 'errors'.
Thanks!
And to think someone thought that CHKV was a programming language :)
I lot that law, very funny!!
>>>I really just want to see better book reviews on Slashdot.
One could argue that is an oxymoron.
This is /., not the NY Times book reviews.
You 'claimed' there are errors, but now suddenly can't find them?
They be thare mate! :)
>>>>Oh leave me alone.
you made the claim,I called you on it; now I have to leave you alone? Please play fair.
The problem is that people see certs as an end-all, when they really are the beginning.
Certifications are great, but one should use them as a stepping stone, not a retiring stone.
It is style you refer to.
What are the errors you claim to have found?
>>>Few spelling or grammar mistakes, though they were fairly noticeable and detracted from the tone of the piece.
Beside a missing space, could not find any of the glaring spelling or grammar mistakes. Can you point them out?
