You still cant work out where this conversation is going, can you? You are agreeing with me, but you haven't realised it. You are priceless. Now, did you ever come back with any of the supporting evidence for your previous claims or are you going to gloss over that?

It normally means Communications Security and deals with how an organisation ensures its information is protected (phone calls, emails, conversations etc.). It has fallen out of favour a bit recently and been largely (especially in the commercial sector) with INFOSEC (information security) Also, in the UK the normal abbreviation of Security is "Sy" not SEC which is why UK organisations often have different terms. > Why make such a big fuss over it ? Because JoeBloe reads too many Tom Clancy novels.

This obviously includes the children, news reporters etc. You are so determined to insult and argue with me, you have lost all resemblence to reason.

I am not sure what this has to do with Ockhams Razor. Conservation of Energy relies on axioms and has itself been subjected to OR. What is your point? > But, actually, 2 is no simpler a number than 2.000000006, is it? Depends on who you are talking to. How are you defining simple in this context? It is not a context in which OR would apply. |
