Thnx for all the info!
Very Interesting! I didn't realize the vulnerabilities that existed in Wallets, and how important it is to fully secure it. Thanks for all the info!
Great post thank you.
thanks for this, easy to do for peace of mind
Yes, awesome information. I'll create a super-secure file once I actually start making some money.
i think the real safe part is important, there is otherwise a lot of money gone when i die 
Wow a lot of steps...
Security comes at a cost. It's better to do a lot steps but be on the safe side
What about using bitcoin-qt and armory together? Does this work?
It is, in fact, the only way they work.

If i give out my privatekey does that mean anyone can access my wallet at any time?
Yes. It's called a private key for a reason.Well, strictly speaking, they can't access your wallet, but they can access the money that belongs to your private key. A wallet is a collection of private keys and other stuff that can be maintained client-side, such as "accounts".
Great post. Thanks for the advice!

if you use a live cd you will need to download all the blocks each time, right? Can you explain how do you deal with that? Thanks
You would use the live CD offline to create a wallet only. You don't need to download any of the blockchain to do that.When you want to spend the bitcoins in that wallet, yes, you will need to use your wallet on an online system with a synchronized blockchain.
Good info! Thanks
That's a lot of different steps.
