    "OTD" usually implies today's comic, or at least a fairly recent one. Not one that was posted in August 2011! ;P

        I will not beg your pardon, Master Elrond, for my implied misuse of the OTD etiquette, protocol, decorum, policies and procedures, for had I meant of "XKCD Of Today" I obviously would have titled it XKCDOT... But actually thank you for helping me realize that my acronym does leave much room for improvement as actually I posted it in the spirit of "XKCD That I Just Recently Discovered That Was Especially Poignant To The Current Work I Am Doing In The Area of Authentication, Encryption, Cryptography and Security Heuristics That I Decided To Post In The Lounge Today", which would rightfully result in XKCDTIJRDTWEPTTCWIADITAOAECASHTIDTPITLT Thanks for catching that...

            Depends on perspective. Of the day could be relative to CP. :^)

            There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
