I think the OP was quoting something wrt RSA vs DSA, and then asking
what everyone thought.  It wasn't clearly specified if the OP wanted
only comments on RSA vs DSA, or whether comments on the weakness aspects
of either implementation were acceptable.   Given that the OP replied to
my randomness and predictability comment with "excellent point...", it's
at least clear to me that he was accepting of my comment as
contributory, rather than of the misread OP variety. ;-)

Point taken, although I'm not sure why you are telling a bunch of geeks
this.  I personally think Jessica Simpson to be clueless and
shallow.  :-)
