Unlocking The Power Of the Magstripe

Acidus writes "While researching for an embedded systems project (a magstripe enabled Coke machine), I was shocked by the lack of magstripe information: Programs/code that would run on a modern OS were all but nonexistant, articles that were 6-10 years old, etc. Further research proved hard, because I had become google's authoritative source. So Stripe Snoop was born, and is now at 1.5 . Stripe Snoop is a suite of research tools that captures, modifies, validates, generates, analyzes, and shares magstripe data, with an ever-growing database of card formats. Decoding everything from driver's licenses to banking cards, its features can analyze non-standard cards, such as NYC's Metrocard."

    If you are going to crtitcize someone else's use of the language, you might want to consider learning to use it properly yourself first.

    Grammar and spelling are not friends, foes, enemies, allies or any other.

    Yes my typing is shit, it always has been, it is because I think / speak about 200 times faster than I type, so I only slow down and check and punctuate properly if it is work or professional, slashdot is like usenet, nobody gives a shit i'm typing this one handed while rolling a fag in my left hand.
