- Actually, there can be a lot
of point to it, but that's my opinion, & I can see that a
lot of people won't agree with it, & I won't complain, & I
agree that a virtual world that other people visit is more
easily less pointless.

Columbus, Marco Polo, Magellan, & all the other explorers.
And yes, I know that those blokes didn't live

range.

- ... program.12.2
- Yes yes yes,
that would not provide cryptographic security, but it is an
easily implemented form of obfuscation that would increase
the cost of reverse engineering the file format. Instead
of viewing encryption as a method of keeping individual
messages private, you should strive for a broader
understanding of the uses of cryptography.
