Balancing Security’s Opposite Pairs
HWY 101 is jammed again, which gives me a lot of time to stare at the billboards. Symantec (big yellow) caught my attention with a “you need the speed” sign promoting their latest anti virus release.

But this ad allows me to rant on some of the two non-changeable variables couples or opposite pairs that makes data security such an interesting field.
