    Great Read; Cryptography & Cult / Secret Society.

    http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012...anuscript/all/

    Really interesting for the geeks here.

    Also upfront, no this doesn't confirm the existance of aliens, or lock ness, or an honest MP.

    Loch Ness *definitely* exists. I've seen it a number of times.

    Could be an interesting read though.

    I refuse to acknowledge the existence of a race of people who survive on deep fried pizza n mars bar. But in all seriousness it is a great read and well worth the time if you like cryptography or computer science/algorithmic view of the world.

    Exactly, its not the subject matter, but the approach.

    Re: Great Read; Cryptography & Cult / Secret Society.

    Anyone else see Derren Brown's Fear and Faith programme

    http://www.channel4.com/programmes/d...s-14/episode-3


    just goes to show how gullible we can all be once someone understands the human psyche.....the Fear part was okay but the Faith show was a real eye opener as he took an Athiest working in science and basically made her believe in Faith.............with just a few simple tricks.....and she was educated......how easy then to make poor uneducated souls two thousand years ago believe in something that doesn't exist.............and the coffers have been full since then!!...........Christians, the first marketeers, and the song remains the same two thousand years later.......overload them with "facts", manipulate, and sell anything you want them to believe.............and we are the "intelligent" species on this planet!!.......doesn't bode well for the future does it?!!

    Do you seriously think that Christianity was the first religion (presuming your arguments are about faith in general, not specifically Christianity)? That's a sad state of affairs if so I repeat my call for better religious education to prevent such a lack of knowledge from otherwise intelligent Hexus users.

    I am sure Dingo just misspoke, nobody thinks Christianity was the first religion.
