Credit card signatures: Useless?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the yep-and-you-betcha dept.

SpaceAdmiral writes "Everyone should remember John Hargrave's classic Credit Card Prank on Zug. He tried signing fake names on his credit card receipt, and no one seemed to care. But that's nothing compared to The Credit Card Prank, Part 2. Can he draw obscene pictures instead of signing his credit card? Yes, it turns out. Is there any way of getting your signature checked? . . . Yes, it turns out. But you have to do an awful lot."

    If slashdot isn't going to support mirroring, they should at least link all the pages of the article so that mirrordot will retrieve them.

    We've secretly replaced Slashdot with new Folgers Crystals - let's see if it notices.

    My sig is verbatim copied from an old kernel. Maybe Linus meant 508 or whatever but that's not what he wrote.
