Pah, mathematicians and their generally applicable pure approach to solutions and fancy modulus operations, who needs 'em? Computing is applied and we always work with well-defined finite precision. Granted, writing the boilerplate for all possible 64 bit integers is a bit laborious, but we're programmers! That's what code generation is for.

That's a good point, even though I'm not a fan of how you chose to deliver it.

Um. If you use the file encrypted with a weak keyphrase a the key for a second round, how would you decrypt the result unless you keep the first-stage encrypted file around, thus defeating the purpose?

"Okay, people! Can we come up with additional ways of committing genocide without actually calling it that?"

"Well..."

"Yes?!"

"We could make eating a capital offense."

I didn't really need additional evidence that business is increasingly divorcing itself from actual consumer needs, but here it is anyway.

Wait. That's not normal? I gotta fix my diet.

It really doesn't. I highly doubt there isn't office politics going on inside Microsoft, Apple and Google, but unlike them, Linux development is all public. If anything, that's likely to curtail a lot of bad behavior rather than encourage it.
