Eldmannen Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Bruce Schneier is a cryptographer and computer security specialist. He is one of the most famous people in cryptography and computer security. A genius guy. There is a geeky humor website about Bruce Schneier, with Chuck Norris-style jokes. Great site for those who know who Bruce Schneier is or have an interest in cryptography. http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/ I guess not everybody here will get the jokes, you kinda have to be a bit of a geek. It's good to know about cryptography, computer science, computer security, math, physics, etc to get the jokes. Some random exempts; * Bruce Schneier has already solved the Goldbach Conjecture. He just enjoys watching us try. * Bruce Schneier has an Olympic-sized entropy pool. * When Bruce Schneier observes a quantum particle, it remains in the same state until he has finished observing it. * Nuclear physicists at Fermilab were amazed to find that Bruce Schneier's internal clock is more reliable than the vibrations of a Cs-133 atom. * Bruce Schneier doesn't need full vulnerability disclosure because he already knows. * Bruce Schneier's name appeared in EBCDIC in the output of /dev/random every time there was a full moon. Even after they changed the RNG algorithm. * On Bruce Schneier's birthday, a person standing at the very center of Stonehenge casts a shadow in the shape of Bruce Schneier's PGP public key fingerprint. * Bruce Schneier can break elliptic curve cryptography by bending it to a circle. * Though a superhero, Bruce Schneier disdanes the use of a mask or secret identity as 'security through obscurity'.
