What is the other side of being a security expert?

Hmmm, whom are they opposed to?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Good Lord no! I also do not consider myself a mathematician but I sometimes do math...

Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
First let me say:
Hacking is nothing more than vandalism and although considered the ultimate by those that practice it, it actually takes second place to far more practical and useful skills.
I am just a guy, just like you.

Is that the reason why you do not find the following quote interesting?

Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
I found that quote ridiculous. I have had women growl at me and I do not retreat.
Nay. Its an art too.
It is still an invasion of privacy and or vandalism. And it still takes a backseat to far more rewarding ventures.

Hmm, I do not like dancing neither can I appreciate it. Does it mean that Dance is not an art or does it mean that I'm a bumkin? (No offense intended)
Do you dislike that quote about chocolates because you are a guy just like me?

Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
It is an art but so is assassination. Because it is an art does not imply that it is worthwhile to do.

I do not mean to imply that I am ahead of you now. I am just different. I was very much like you when I was your age.

Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
But it is still important. Remember that you need to learn how to use the sword even if you want to defend yourself, or even kill others. You need to know the warfare, the tech; The technology is neutral. You choose what to do with it. Did you note that we have been asked to murder if the needs are so in the Bhagvat Gita? Did you read the last few pages of the first chapter of Disappearing Cryptography?
Is it good that I am like you as you were years back?

Re: Can you suggest six names of great mathematicians quickly?
Yes, I am aware of that in the Gita. My brother has told me many times. I am glad that you understand it is a moral decision, I know you will do the right thing. But it is still not the best thing to pursue because it is less valuable.

Nope it is not. But it appears to be a necessary step.
