Chip and Pin in the late 80s in Germany? It is true that paying in stores with my German ATM card and its PIN was nothing new when I got my first bank account in the mid-90s. However, that system used the magnetic stripe of the card (which

This resembles the most common way of authentication for online banking in Germany (a PIN and a list of transaction codes, so-called TANs). Do you always have to pick the next one-time code in the printed sequence? In Germany, you used to b

The Qt GUI is nice; however, what I need more is support for acceptance testing of programs generated by the students' compilers. I guess I'll just diff the output of command-line spim like last year.

Just yesterday, I checked out the latest version of Spim (9.0, now with Qt GUI!) from Sourceforge svn. Now I can audit the source, or just hope that attackers just wouldn't bother installing backdoors in such a minority program. I think I'l

You can of course ignore a language's culture, but then your code will look and feel surprising to other programmers who are familiar with the language and its culture. If you're the only person who will need to maintain the code, fine.

Usenet is at least a decentralized thing owned by nobody and governed by a mixture of elected representatives and popular vote. Or was, back in the day. Therefore, usenet users weren't anybody's zombie army.
