  1. Re:Colossus on Nazi Codebreaking Documentary · · Score: 1

    During WWII, a group of mathematicians and other codebrakers was working 'secretly' somewhere in England to break ENIGMA. The 'official' history is that the group did break the code of ENIGMA. Nothing is more false. A copy of an ENIGMA machine was taken from a German submarine and brought back to England where it has been reverse-engineered! I believe this version of the story to be true. What do you think?

  2. Re:Dead people's eyeballs? I don't think so on Retina-Scan ATM Machines · · Score: 1

    There should be a 'mecanism' to detect if the scan has been performed on a 'dead eye': wheter the eye belongs to a dead person or has just been poped out of its 'socket'. If the system is to stay, massive announcement should be made to make sure criminals are informed that it's useless to 'steel' eye balls or kill someone if they want the scan to succeed.

    Personnaly, i don't like this bio-metric 'authentication' applided to ATM... i'm already missing my little plastic card.
