Hi all,
While studying for my final in the algebra class, I found this curious quote.
I hope that you will find it nice,

Francisco.


Coding Theorist's Pledge:

I swear by Galois that I will be true to the noble traditions of coding theory; 
that I will speak of it in the secret language known only to my fellow initiates; 
and that I will vigilantly guard the sacred theory from those 
who would profane it by practical applications.
