(Mark sez:) ![]() I'm racking my brains to think what someone could accomplish by taking over the credit card network. You couldn't buy anything, because the police would track the deliveries to your Evil Mad Science Lair. I guess the answer I like best is that you would use the computer chips inside these "smart cards" as a gigantic networked computer to solve some astonishingly difficult problem. Lest you think that's absurd, it has already happened in the real world. Well, just because it's actually happened doesn't mean it isn't still absurd, I guess. Oh yes, I don't remember if we've ever mentioned this in the past, but in case we haven't: mad props to Aric Hooley of Reckless Blue for linking to MoS. Thanks, Aric! I checked like, five times to make sure I was spelling your name right. |
