    In Iron sky, the Nazis obviously had no programming skills, things were hardwired:

  3. Re: countries not sharing signatures... on Chipped Passport Cloned In Minutes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, all country trust roots (not _signatures_) end up in an international database, and terminals SHOULD check that passports are signed by one of those. The "hack" does not work for this reason (and relevant countries' terminals do check, even if the standard-testing software does not).

    FYI, country certs are also published on human-readable pages, such as these:

    http://www.bsi.bund.de/english/topics/csca/index.htm
    http://www.bmi.gv.at/csca/startseite.asp

    So hypothetically, you could collect these (they won't be changed more than once every few years) and perform your own verification.

  4. Re:Decent telnet client for Java? on Microsoft wins Annulment of Sun's Java injunction · · Score: 1

    This one has all the buzzwords (Java, applet, client, server, GPL, WWW, browser integration). Not to mention it works. http://www.first.gmd.de/persons/le o/java/Telnet/ BTW I use it on Sun's own Javastations ;)

  5. Re: log entries on Mozilla M5 Released · · Score: 1

    Every time I test a Mozilla build, my third test page is microsoft.com to fool around a bit and leave Mozilla traces in their logs, just to show that Netscape is far from dead. They check their logs for sure.

  6. Re:What, CP/M not good enough for you? on Sinclair Does Linux · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised. I'm working on an industrial VLSI tester with a memory-mapped I/O controller ran by a software relic from the early eighties. /Wrapper around a wrapper around a wrapper.../

    The tester is controlled by an OS/2 PC, running a CP/M emulator in a DOS window /DOSEMU won't run it/. There might be further layers of emulation inside CP/M I'm not aware of. :o)

    Netcraft has updated statistics a couple of days ago. It's 56 %.

  8. Slashdot financial model -- idea from link above on Live Nude Quickies · · Score: 1

    I guess a lot of sites would be willing to pay protection money for not being mentioned on Slashdot.
