One of the main stated reasons they started introducing these things was to facilitate entry to Great Britain.
Really?! Because I thought here in the UK, one of the main stated reasons they started introducing RFID passports was to facilitate entry to the United States!
To me, the problem seems to be if someone has implemented a secure pseudo-filesystem over FTP. I tried looking for that but couldn't find anything.
If I understand your problem, you want the remote image encrypted, right? In which case SFTP/FTPS is redundant overhead (and whatever data is sent is stored in its plaintext). This is something that might be possible with FUSE (e.g., use the Python-FUSE bindings to construct an FTP client that passes stuff through GnuPG first).
Thanks for the laughs.
Heh, you'd be surprised how many people around here lack a sense of humour.
Remember that John Titor, the guy who travelled back in time to pick up an IBM 5100? You know why we've not heard any more of him? Because he should've picked up a HP 48 instead.
When it comes to calculators, I don't think HP have ever been at all bad in that respect. It's not for nothing that their calculators are something akin to the "workstations" of their class: there's always been loads of documentation out there for the HP 28, 48, etc. plus a metric ton of third-party software. A HP graphic calculator can expect to be "re-purposed" any number of times in its useful life (which is a very long time) as part of normal use.
...and we must enforce their strength and use like bastards.
Let us not be pussies about this, short of submitting a biometric signature every time I want to authenticate just how else can a machine tell I am me?
GnuPG is also a world recognized standard. Proper mail clients should support it out of the box.
Well said! The "trouble" is the PGP model completely decentralises and popularises certification — it's cryptographic anarchy, there is no authority but Number One, and control and responsibility is largely in my hands. I get the impression some people don't really like this idea. With S/MIME I have to trust the certificate authority to do a Proper Job. Heh, no thanks.

...can now breathe a sigh of relief.
If the summary is anything to go by, more likely an UP YUORS.
What's AT&T got to do with anything?
Then cue the Revolution.
I take that back, it secures the auth bit.
What about Portable Python?

A slightly less acerbic answer is "Get Python, and code it yourself, schmuck!"

No, they'd call me Harkonnen.

Yes, it's called "mine".

Then it's time to start spreading the word.
Install Thunderbird, GnuPG and the EnigMail extension.
Meh, I'm still waiting for Sapphire and Steel to turn up and sort John Titor out.
I take it you don't use ext3, then.
It comes in a Jarre, with a slight whiff of cheese.
About the same likelihood as your average Home Secretary knowing what a private key is?
...Nope, can't find it. Come on May, put your thesis on the arXiv like everyone else does these days.
I sincerely hope you don't sympathise with Sony. ;)
Oh, you are so nasty!
The GP isn't accusing the Prime Minister of having a Ph.D., the accusation is of having a Ph.D.-in-the-history-of-the-Labour-Party.
It's just the usual killer combination of low-brow material, high production values, and good old-fashioned fappability.
And Britney, bless her, hasn't had the latter for a long time now.
