mod6: "How much do I owe you for this latte, dear graduate?"
asciilifeform: villager Bob is visited by a chum of his. Bob points to a bridge, says 'built that there bridge, i did.'
mod6: (who was really suprised about the RSA/NSA news anyway?) I don't think there is a single software or hardware producer in the US that trust. Not that I perhaps ever did, but now its all out there!!
mod6: With the news about RSA/NSA/BSafe and that they put in a backdoored Dual ECC RNG as default in the rolling key fob, I hardly imagine the demand for a trustworthy and open-source producer of cryptographic devices.

mircea_popescu: not because there aren't eggregiously bad examples peppered everywhere, but because it is the one phrase that came back underlined in all the review copies i sent out
mircea_popescu: anyway, i originally though the guy was a programmer, which seemed interesting.
mircea_popescu: i swear to the foregoing statement.
mircea_popescu: i spent a decade of my youth in roughly equal halves between producing porn and handling hollywood ip. you'd be surprised how often it is the case that "no scripts are new".

mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/ajUaSs6.jpg who's this guy ?

mircea_popescu: Namworld i assumed they allow him to sign with the address ?
Namworld: Not really. How would you prove you sent that transaction? You can't. A screenshot isn't good enough. I could make a screenshot and edit it 50 times for all amounts and claim all bets as mine.
