The Quintessential Nova

In a fit probably triggered by apoplexy at the dismal state of his finances and/or room Nova has coerced me to post this slightly edited, incoherent MSN convo he and I had on the 4th of November.

the things you learn when you read digital fortress

Nova:
i learned about MD5 hashes when programming my bot!

Nova:
nothing to do with digital fortress!

Nova:
dan brown doesn't know anything about cryptography!

A Priori says:
get off esoteric computer talk

A Priori says:
*return, karan... return*

Nova:
esoteric!

Nova:
hashing, sir, is a BASIC of cryptography!

Nova:
ESOTERIC!

A Priori says:
computer-based cryptography is esoteric in itself

Nova:
bah!!

Nova:
merely because you lack the cranial capacity to comprehend it

Nova:
by the way

A Priori says:
rather

A Priori says:
i lack the large teeth, thick round glasses, and gawky complexion

Nova:
at 2 am kenneth told me that flagellation was "not his style"

Nova:

A Priori says:

Nova:

Nova:
JERKY LISP?!

and pseudo-autistic reserve

Nova:
pseudo-autistic reserve???

A Priori says:
and large, ill-fitting clothes

A Priori says:
and messy, unkept room

Nova:
large, ill-fitting clothes?!

Nova:
how on earth did you know my room has degenerated into a mess again?

A Priori says:
and pychopathic desire to destroy the large software corporations of the world

A Priori says:
(or, failing that, to join their top-secret R&D branches)

A Priori says:
and single-minded philia/mania in all things computer-based

DISCLAIMER: All this is of course, in good humour. Suing for any reason at all is undefined. And that includes myself. And Karan.
