I found this amazing sentence

So I'm reading an article on secure email techniques, and I come across this sentence:
"The practice of embedding secret messages in computer files is called digital steganography and it’s been around since the days of ancient Greece."
Suddenly I'm much more critical in my assessment of the contents of the article...

Something happened to the link to the article - it doesn't link.

The article misspelled "ancient GEEK".

I'm guessing that the article was:

"What the Most Secure Email in the Universe Would Look Like" by Patrick Tucker at Defense One.

http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2014/05/what-most-secure-email-universe-would-look/84247/?oref=d-skybox

Or maybe not, since that article does NOT contain "ancient GEEK."

Although it seems to me that "ancient GEEK" would be a wonderful pun relative to the ancient Greeks who investigated steganography. Western civilization owes so much to the ancient Greek thinkers and philosophical tinkerers.

Link is repaired, I think.

Link is repaired - it goes to the article I read.

Thanks!
