2008-06-27 10:41:01 by HASH0x8b0794c in StillSecure, After All These Years

Many years ago, I was a trout bum, and the guy who captured that wonderful experience better than anyone was John Gierach , I was lucky enough to live a few miles up the Frying Pan river from where he stayed when he was fishing up there.

2008-04-08 05:50:01 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
Security is both a feeling and a reality, and they're different. You can feel secure even though you're not, and you can be secure even though you don't feel it. There are two different concepts mapped onto the same word -- the English language isn't working very well for us here -- and it can be hard to know which one we're talking about when...
