    Financial management and reporting have a lot of credibility? I'm sure
    Arthur Andersen would have loved you. Anyway, computer science maturing
    has little to do with compsec from my point of view as security has become
    an "anything goes" field. The more students study in anticipation for
    different attacks, the more it will probably lead to newer and more
    powerful exploits.

    Best practices should be used as somewhat of a guideline, and hopefully a
    security engineer would be smart enough to remember Murphy's Law and apply
    their own little tricks to their trade. THAT would be more meaningful than
    following some textbook scheme drawn out for a system that would almost
    certainly differ from one's own.

    Sales persons will be sales persons will be sales persons. When you go to
    an interview for employment, never forget you too are a salesman selling
    yourself. Never knock it.
